Glenn M. Hodge, Harrisonburg, (Kimberly B. Wilkins; Wharton, Aldhizer & Weaver, on brief), for appellee Raymond E. Rapp, Trustee, Harrisonburg Physicians for Anesthesiology, Inc., etc.

KEENAN, Justice.

In this appeal, we consider whether the chancellor erred: 1) in awarding damages to a property owner for breach of a contract for the sale of land offered at public auction; and 2) in admitting certain expert testimony.

The following facts are undisputed. In the spring of 2003, Raymond E. Rapp hired Bland Land Company (BLC) to sell about 143 acres of undeveloped mountain land in Rockingham County (the property) at a public auction.
