We knew we hired the right auctioneer!

When we saw how many cars and trucks were lined up along the road, we knew we had hired the right auctioneer. We had hoped for $15,000 out of our personal property and got almost double that with over 300 people attending our auction. Thanks! –Michael Tinkham

Easter Seal’s Romancing the Grape:

Michael, The auction was a huge success and we truly appreciate all of your advice and talents through the process. Your participation helped to raise over $218,000 allowing Easter Seals to continue providing exceptional services to children and adults with disabilities. –Julie Bruner

Personal Property Moving Auction

I would like to recommend Michael Hoffman if you are considering an auction. I had a relatively small auction and Michael put all his efforts into making sure I had the best outcome possible. Kudo’s to his staff also!!! – Cheryl Arnold

Online Only Police Auction

You did an outstanding job in getting everything organized, sold, and picked up from our agency. It’s nice to have our evidence bay back (after over a year) and nice that Steve Ogle has at least partial restitution. Thanks for getting all this arranged and feel free to use me as a future recommendation. –Chief Mark Chaney

More than we had hoped for!

When we listed our house and set a date for the auction, we thought it would take 3 months. Michael sold our house in 9 days (at full price) and held the personal property auction 2 weeks later. We had everything done within 45 days! We can’t say enough good things about Michael and his staff. –Bob & Ruth Huddle

Power of Attorney Real Estate & Personal Property Auction

Michael, I should have told you sooner but we so appreciate your help with this huge undertaking. I know it was a lot of work for you. Thank you so much. Our experience with Michael Hoffman and Ohio Real Estate Auctions was excellent. My Mother had to relocate suddenly and there wasn’t much time to go through all Mother’s things and pack them up or sell them. Michael was a lifesaver. I live in Florida so Michael organized everything for the auction and handled the sale of the house for me. I highly recommend Michael Hoffman and Ohio Real Estate Auctions. –Carol Williams
