Trailblazing Leadership in Sales and Auctioneering: Col. Liz A. Hunt Recognized for Pioneering Excellence and Industry Impact
CHARLOTTE, NC / ACCESS Newswire / May 14, 2025 / Marquis Who's Who honors Col. Liz A. Hunt for her expertise in the sales sector and auctioneering industries. With nearly three decades of experience starting from a young age, Ms. Hunt's accomplishments and contributions are recognized as she continues her leadership efforts.
A Sales and Auctioneering Expert
For over 25 years, Ms. Hunt has built a distinguished career in sales and auctioneering, holding diverse roles that showcase her expertise and tenacity. She worked towards a bachelor's degree in agricultural science with a minor in biochemistry at Northwest Missouri State University. In 2015, she graduated from the World Wide College of Auctioneering in Mason City, Iowa, earning dual degrees in auctioneering and bilingual auctioneering in Spanish. As one of the first women to receive a bilingual degree from the institution, Ms. Hunt broke barriers in a traditionally male-dominated field, garnering recognition for her pioneering achievements and continued excellence.
Ms. Hunt's Contributions to the Field of Auctioneering and Sales
Ms. Hunt has cultivated a dynamic and accomplished career across a range of industries. From 2009 to 2013, she served as a sales representative for Orscheln Farm and Home LLC. She later held positions in customer service, parts, and sales at Northwest Implement until 2016, before becoming a crop sales associate at Cropwise Consulting Inc. From 2017 to 2020, she brought her sales expertise to Fastenal Company. Her career then expanded into engineering, where she worked briefly in architectural design at Robbins Lightning LLC, followed by a role as a cost estimator and bill of materials coordinator engineer at Laclede Chain Manufacturing Company LLC from 2020 to 2022. In 2022, Ms. Hunt spent a year as a sales development representative at Formic Technologies. In 2023, she joined EkoStinger as U.S. sales director and was quickly promoted to vice president of sales, all within a year.
Ms. Hunt currently serves as sales director and auctioneer for Espey Auctions & Realty, a position she has held since 2008. In 2015, she founded Hunt Auctions & Land, where she continues to serve as chief executive officer, guiding the company with strategic insight and entrepreneurial drive. In addition to her leadership in the auction industry, she holds two executive roles: vice president of sales at Rethink Energy and fractional sales director at Revenue Haven.
Ms. Hunt's Insights for Success in the Sales and Auctioneering Industry
As the sales and auctioneering industry evolves, Ms. Hunt has observed a growing shift toward online platforms. "The internet is taking the industry by storm, which can be both a blessing and a curse," she remarks. Despite the digital transformation, she remains committed to preserving the integrity and effectiveness of traditional auction marketing methods.
As Ms. Hunt reflects on her journey, she credits her success to the resilience and work ethic instilled in her by her parents. From an early age, she watched them work tirelessly, and by the age of six, she was already selling her first auction. That early spark ignited a lifelong passion for auctioneering. In 2021, she stood out among 21 contenders as one of the top five finalists-and the only woman-in the prestigious Iowa Auctioneers Contest. During her time at auctioneering college, she graduated in the top 2% of her class, earning the distinguished title of Colonel.
Ms. Hunt's Future Vision as an Expert Auctioneer and Sales Leader
Looking ahead, Ms. Hunt envisions her future children carrying the legacy of Hunt Auctions & Land-a company she has passionately built with grit, strategy, and heart. Her ambitions also include taking her auction business to a global stage, fueled partly by her national recognition as a contestant on CBS's "The Amazing Race" (Season 29). That experience not only expanded her visibility but also strengthened her desire to connect with people across the world with her passion for sales and auctioneering.
To the next generation of auctioneers and sales professionals, Ms. Hunt offers this advice: always hold yourself to the highest standards. As her own journey continues, she remains rooted in the values that have guided her path-integrity, perseverance, and patience-knowing her story is just getting started.
