It’s my pleasure to provide this brief press kit to introduce

you to our company Michael Carr & Associates, Inc.

& BrandFace - a book and speaking series I co-authored for auctioneers and real estate professionals who wish to become the face of their business...and a star in their industry. When I was just seven years old, I became enamored with the ideal of being an auctioneer. The Cadillac cars, cashmere trench coats, big diamond rings and commanding personalities had me star struck as a young kid. I knew instantly it’s what I wanted to do. I attended auctioneer school and started working auto auctions right out of high school, just waiting for my big break to be at the podium. My big break came one day...and it was a lackluster performance at best! To be honest, I was awful! Never having been one to give in easy it gave me the inspiration I needed to continue down this path, to I stick with it. I spent the next 23 years perfecting my craft.

Along that winding path, I began working real estate auctions and decided to become a licensed real estate agent in 1994. Today, I am Founder and CEO of Michael Carr and Associates, Inc I have a broker’s license in 27 states, I have sold more residential real estate that any other American auctioneer and serve as the Senior Vice President of Brokerage for Auction.com, the world’s largest auction services group.

Since those humble beginnings I’ve traveled

approximately 1.3 million miles by air, 1.5 million by auto

and I stay an average of 225 nights a year in hotels all

over the country, all in pursuit of what I love to do.

NWhen not on the road I oversee our real estate brokerage and home improvement companies from my headquarters in Jefferson, Georgia. In 2013, I began working with Tonya Eberhart, a marketing agent and the author of BrandFace. She not only helped me to elevate my marketing, she pushed me beyond my comfort level to become the face of my brand, a decision I have not regretted. I’ve been fortunate in my life to have mentors along the way that have helped me perfect my craft. Knowing what Tonya had done for my company, I jumped at the chance to coauthor BrandFace for auctioneers and real estate professionals. It reminded me that one of my first brokers told me he would only teach me the business if I promised to teach others. This book and speaking series allows me to play a major role in returning that favor to others. I’ll share the challenges and triumphs of my experience, both in my career and as a BrandFace. You’ll learn what it takes to set yourself apart in your industry and promote the one asset no other business has -YOU! I am available for interviews, book signings and customized speaking engagements. Email me at info@michaelcarrmail.com or call 678-444-4110.

Thank you for your consideration, and best of luck to your business and YOU!
