Peter Baldwin
Chief Auctioneer, Richardson & Wrench
Peter Baldwin, Richardson & Wrench's Chief Auctioneer, may be young in years at only 38, but is widely recognised as being Australia's premier property Auctioneer. He is the youngest Auctioneer of all time to auction Sydney Real Estate and when he was appointed Chief Auctioneer for Richardson & Wrench, at the age of 24, Peter set another record as the youngest ever Chief Auctioneer in the Sydney property market.

Peter gained his early experience calling horse races in the far north west of the State and southern Queensland, which gave him an excellent training in thinking on his feet, attaining clear diction and varying the speed and tone of his delivery. When he stood up to conduct his first Livestock Auction immediately after leaving school, he set a new record as the youngest Auctioneer ever.

Peter commands impeccable formal credentials in the discipline of Real Estate. He holds a Bachelor of Business in Land Economy, majoring in Valuation, and is a Licensed Auctioneer, Real Estate Agent, Stock and Station Agent and Registered Valuer.

As part of Richardson & Wrench's service to its vendors, Peter visits every property to be auctioned. He remains in close contact with the sales consultant in charge of the property and establishes with him or her how the auction should be run to achieve the best results. In the years 1994-1996 Peter auctioned over 4000 properties with a value in excess of $1.1 Billion.
