Moon, the Auction Dog / Dog (1993 - 2009) RIP

Moon, the Auction Dog will be with us in spirit at all future Auctions..

Our Mission / Vision:

We exist to assist sellers in realizing the maximum sales price, at a date certain, at
a reasonable cost.  As an Auctioneer/Broker, I am a seller's agent.  Our passion is
showing how the Auction Method of selling is superior in every way to traditional
Real Estate Brokerage.  My favorite saying is "A traditional Real Estate Broker sets
a price and comes down, while an Auctioneer sets a price and goes up."

We also occasionally will lend our vast experience in the auction world to those
investors interested in purchasing at auction, by representing them as a buyer's
agent.  (Not at our own auctions, however.)  We NEVER practice dual agency.

We are small, and for a good reason: We like it that way!  We are not interested in
dominating the world Real Estate or Auction market.  We simply do our little piece
of it
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!
