If he can close a Shark on national television, imagine what he can do at your fundraiser.
Seven million viewers. The most skeptical investors in the country. Smith walked in, read the room, and walked out with a deal from Barbara Corcoran.
No commitment. No sales pitch. Just 20 minutes with Smith to find out what your night is worth.
Known nationwide as The Shark Tank Auctioneer, Smith Alan Baggett is a fourth-generation auctioneer and cattle rancher who runs benefit auctions and charity fundraisers nationwide. Auctioneering was not something he chose the way you choose a career. It was passed down. And now Smith does it at a level four generations have been building toward.
He has helped charities across the country raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for causes that matter, and he is known for turning fundraising auctions into events people talk about for years.
He is also the founder of Flamingo Charger. In 2025, he walked onto Shark Tank, pitched in front of seven million people, and walked out with a deal from Barbara Corcoran. Then he drove home and worked cattle. That is Smith.
Four generations of auction expertise means you do not need any. Whether this is your first gala or your twentieth, Smith shows up with a plan for your specific room, your specific donors, and your specific goal. He has run benefit auctions for first-time chairs who had never held a gavel and for organizations that have beaten six-figure goals year after year. The starting point does not matter. The result does.
Reach out with your date, expected attendance, and fundraising goal. Smith schedules a free 20-minute strategy call to learn about your organization and your donors. No obligation. Just a conversation.
He works with your team on item sequencing, bid increments, and room flow. Four generations of auction expertise inform every decision — from how to open the room to exactly when to close it.
On the night, Smith runs the room from the first bid to the last. He builds energy, drives competition, and closes at the peak. Your board has a number they expected. Smith's job is to beat it.
We beat our goal by forty percent. The room never lost energy. Smith had them bidding against each other until the very last item.
Our members still talk about it. He read the crowd in minutes and kept it moving all night. We will not do another gala without him.
I have chaired this event for six years. This was the first year I watched it instead of worrying about it. He handled everything from the stage.
The room remembers.
And they come back next year.
Tell Smith about your event and he will get back to you personally. He books out fast, especially in the fall season. The sooner you reach out, the better.
