(Bonham, TX) — A 30-year-old North Texas woman is an international champion auctioneer.

Morgan Hopson of Bonham recently won the 2019 Women’s International Auctioneer Championship in New Orleans.  Hopson works more than 40 events every year, usually selling real estate or helping charities with their fundraisers.

She studied music at Texas Christian University, and she says that particular background helps her see auctioneering as a performance art that needs to be rehearsed and perfected.
