Our Auction Services
Our sellers come to us to sell at auction for a variety of reasons, but they all come to Damewood Auctioneers expecting the same results – to realize the highest price for their property. Here are some of the services we offer to achieve that end.
Real Estate
In today’s real estate market, traditional listings may not always get the job done. The auction method of selling real estate is the way to motivate interested buyers and create a competitive bidding environment. Don’t just accept the first offer – make sure it’s the highest offer! We will list, market, auction, and close on your property within a predetermined period of time — often just 70 days. No more waiting around for offers to trickle in – our auctions create urgency in prospective buyers!
All of our real estate auctions are “As-Is” with no contingencies. This keeps the sale on the seller’s terms and prevents expensive contingencies from being negotiated into the purchase agreement. Imagine the front of your home or business filled with bidders eager to openly, and competitively, bid on your most valuable asset. Auctions create action, and that’s what you get with Damewood Auctioneers. Learn more about selling real estate at auction >
Equipment
From landscaping equipment to backhoes, our company has successfully achieved top dollar for vehicles, farm equipment, landscaping equipment, and construction equipment. If you’re a farmer trying to convert your tractors into cash, a contractor needing to sell a skid loader, or a business in-transition liquidating its trucks and machinery, Damewood Auctioneers has a proven record for fetching the highest price possible for equipment.
Fundraising/Benefit Auctions
If you’re a member of a private school, community organization or non-profit group, there’s always one resource in short supply – money. Holding a live fundraising auction is the best way to bring in money to support your organization, or fund an initiative that will improve your community. Our auction team will counsel your group on what to do, and how to do it, creating a fun and fast-paced auction for your next fundraiser.
Our award-winning auctioneers are knowledgeable on silent auctions, bid boards, live auctions, and fund appeals (a.k.a Raise-the-Paddle or Fund-a-Need). If you choose Damewood Auctioneers for your next fundraiser/benefit auction, not only will you have more money to last you through the year, but memories that will last a lifetime.

Settling the estate of a loved one is a difficult process and liquidating his or her property can be just as challenging. Our company has the experience to organize estate property, market it, and maximize its value at auction so you can concentrate on more important matters. Our company regularly handles all aspects of settling an estate, from real estate auctions to selling furniture and collectibles. We provide full accountability of all items and expenses associated with estate auctions. Damewood Auctioneers works with attorneys, trustees, and individual executors to settle estates.
Appraisals
Damewood Auctioneers also can meet your personal property and equipment appraisal needs. We can appraise furniture, antiques, collectibles and equipment. Also keep in mind that in many cases, an auction held within a certain period of time will serve as an estate appraisal. Please consult your estate attorney for more information.

Your personal property or collection has value, and Damewood Auctioneers can turn that value into cash. Our award-winning auctioneers have sold all types of collectibles and antiques including firearms, coins, quilts, stamps, jewelry and other collections.
