This auctioneer let everything in my moms 4 story house go for $2 - $20 per lot. A pickup truck went for 1k and I personally bought $300 worth of family heirlooms and my brother bought $250. My mother got a check for 1k. The head auctioneer was rude and couldnt even make eye contact when I asked questions. They are VULTURES preying on little old helpless ladies. BEWARE!

Exceptional family team of auctioneers! They work to get the full value of your property and your belongings. The BAHRKES take time to help you plan and market for your auction. Keeping you informed and helping you understand what to expect from your auction. I can honestly say the respect and consideration given to each item sold was truly heartfelt. Book them for your auction! Really no need to shop around! They offer the quality and service you need when liquidating family estates.

Report
The auction for my mom's estate was held August 11. The Bahrke team did a great job of helping us plan the physical layout, know how to present the lots, etc. Their staff was on time and worked hard throughout the long day. At the beginning of the event, Jeff Bahrke clearly explained the auction process and rules to those attending. During the day, a number of people told me it was their first time ever attending an auction and that they had a great time. I would highly recommend the Bahrke team.
