Our
first Internet-Only Real Estate Auction was a great success!
Last
fall, we purchased the software which enables Superior Auction to conduct
online-only auctions through our website!
Our association with, and membership in, several professional auction
groups were the impetus for our decision in our investment! Keeping up with the technological changes in
the world today is imperative in giving both our Buyers and Sellers what they
expect…..
The
35 acres recently offered through an online real estate auction sold to a buyer
who diligently inspected the property, and all related information, through the
Internet only! The non-refundable
earnest money was delivered, the closing date is set, and the Buyer viewed the
land physically today for the first time!
If you are a trustworthy auction company, and represent what you are
selling honestly, Internet-only Auctions will work!
Superior
Auction is very fortunate that our two main contract auctioneers are both
professional IT (Information Technology) specialists! Joe Cicero teaches at a Green Bay college and Larry Schultz
(Bucky) is the IT person for a local municipality!
My
favorite advice for my friends and family is to “surround yourself with good
people”! Jerry Anderson, a favorite
college instructor when I was earning my associate degree in business
management, emphasized the importance of that!
One of the many “good people” that Superior Auction surrounds themselves
with is John Helfert, our company coin expert…..
Recently
we received some coins from a Wisconsin consignor that looked REALLY good but
after John inspected the coins, he found THREE that were
counterfeit!! I am so appreciative of
his expertise so that we were able to inform the seller….and NOT offer these
‘very good counterfeit’ coins to an unsuspecting buyer! Coin auctions are HOT right now – be careful
that you trust the auction company that you are buying from!
I
am SO excited that Gene (AKA ArtJ) retired after 42 years
at Enstrom Helicopter!! I am SO PROUD
OF HIM!! He started his aviation career
in the Army and continued with Enstrom Helicopter as a mechanic. He was always very diligent about the fact
that people’s lives depended on his ability to assemble tail rotor gearboxes,
perform customer service repairs, etc.
His
attention to detail, and the fact that he is SO conscientious in
everything he does, will be a great asset to our company. I’ve encouraged him to ‘be a slug’ for a
few months, but his first official day off was working the Waggoner
Auction!
We
are so excited about Gene joining our company on an ‘as-needed’ basis! (which I
think will really be ‘full-time’)… His areas of expertise are enormous! His mechanical abilities…antique
expertise…..research abilities….yeah!!
Gene has over 40 years in the antique arena – including personal
collections of records, books, Arts & Crafts Era merchandise, and primitive
tools!
We
have a little bit of travel in the future with a family wedding in the ‘Big Sky
Country’ of Montana, and some accelerated education in the vintage jewelry
field for Nellie, but have still managed to schedule some pretty great estate
and antique auctions in July!
The
next 15 years should be interesting!
While we certainly plan to keep pace with having more Internet-Only
auctions, we will ALWAYS still conduct ‘LIVE’ auctions of commercial equipment,
real estate, antiques, coins, vintage jewelry and estate merchandise!
“Bid
& Glimmer” vintage jewelry auctions will be scheduled soon – both live and
online! Keep an eye on our website as we have some pretty fantastic merchandise
that will be on the market by fall, as well as several auctions in the
works!
