Laura Esterline Earns Prestigious CAI Designation from the National Auctioneers Association
Bloomington, IN β After three years of hard work, late nights, and incredible growth, I am beyond proud to share that I have officially earned the Certified Auctioneers Institute (CAI) designation β the most respected professional designation in the auction industry!
The CAI is a rigorous three-year executive-level program held at Indiana University in Bloomington, covering advanced business strategy, leadership, ethics, and marketing.
This achievement places me among an elite group:
β Fewer than 1% of auctioneers nationwide hold the CAI designation
β Only a select number of auctioneers in Ohio have earned this distinction
β This graduating class marks the CAI program's 50th Anniversary (1976β2026)
"This journey pushed me to grow both personally and professionally. I'm honored to be part of this elite group and excited to bring even more value and results to my clients and community."
With over 27 years in real estate, 50 years of antique experience, and 7 years in auctions and growing β specializing in Central Ohio and serving clients across the United States through my CAI networking connections β I am committed to helping you with downsizing, life transitions, and maximizing the value of what matters most to you.
π To my family, friends, clients, and colleagues β thank you for your support every step of the way. This one's for you. π
And yesβ¦ even the IU mascot came out to celebrate! π¦¬π
