Letitia Frye, Auctioneer. She began her career as an auctioneer in 2004. Raised by a father who brought her to countless auto auctions as a child, she developed her fascination with the business at a very early age. Although she spent most of her life working as a professional model and actress, one late summer evening all of that changed. Modeling at a charity event, she received her first chance to auction when the event's auctioneer was unable to attend at the last minute. Armed with a lifetime of observing auctions, she hit the stage and the rest is history. Letitia attended the Western College of Auctioning in Billings, Montana where she finished as class president and at the top of her class. Letitia has had the pleasure of auctioning at events for several prestigious individuals such as First Lady Barbara Bush, Justice Sandra Day O' Connor, Billie Jean King, Dan Majerle of The Phoenix Suns, Bertrand Berry and Anquan Boldin of The Arizona Cardinals and Kathy Lee Gifford, just to name a few. Letitia auctions with Auction Systems here in Phoenix, handling Police, Estate, Jewelry and surplus sales. She is still an active model and television personality, and can be seen on the Auction Network. Please contact her at
