DOTHAN - With real estate auctions becoming a popular method of sale, not a just a last resort, the need for real estate agents trained as auctioneers is growing. Troy University is now accepting applicants for its upcoming Auctioneer School, which will be held on the Dothan Campus January 27 through February 5. The program, which prepares students to sell everything from land to antiques, is open to anyone over the age of eighteen. 

Students will conduct a live auction February 4 as part of the educational requirements of the course. The auction, which begins at 10 a.m. at the Convocation Center at Northview High School, is sponsored by the NHS PTSO. Proceeds will benefit student organizations at Northview. 

Admission to the auction is free. Concessions will be sold by the PTSO. The organization is also accepting donated items for the auction.
