Target Auction Company has been marketing estate using the auction method since 1983. As a result of our many years of successful auction events throughout the country, our firm generates the results our clients expect. Target is a mobile team of highly experienced marketing specialists that sell valuable real estate through the auction method of marketing. Our principles were involved in developing many of the methods and techniques that are now commonplace within the industry nationwide. We strive to build and maintain meaningful relationships while delivering excellent results. We offer a turnkey process for selling high-end properties.

Our program is utilized to be in control of the selling process for a variety of reasons, such as downsizing, relocating, health, estate planning, etc., or simply because the property has been on the market and has not sold. Our program will capture the buying markets' attention and create action because of the date-certain event. Buyers' advantages include purchasing from a committed seller where the terms of the sale are known in advance. It's an open and transparent process for everyone.

Target's clients are served by applying technology and proven auction marketing techniques in a significant multi-channel marketing campaign to educate and fully engage buyers. Properties are typically sold in approximately 60 days. This enables owners to be in control of the timing and management of their real estate as well as the conditions under which the property is sold. Auctions allow properties to be sold as-is and with no contingencies while eliminating lengthy and often times frustrating negotiations. With the competitive nature of an auction, buyers compete against each other, not with the seller. Our team will manage the entire process, making selling easy and productive.

It is with great sincerity that we recommend the auction method of marketing for real estate. We are a full-service company with extensive experience in marketing all types of properties. We would be pleased to discuss with you directly the details of the process in greater depth.

At 21 years old, I went into a partnership with my dad and we built and opened a beer bar and restaurant called the Suds Hut. I owned that from 1968 thru 1981. During that time I also had an outfitting and guiding business taking hunters into the mountains for a week at a time. When I sold the bar, I went into the excavating business and subdividing of property which, of course, lead to the real estate in 1982 and I have been doing that ever since.
I have been a real estate broker since 1992 and have owned my own company all that time I have for 30 years specialized in farm and ranch sales, my largest single sale is 13 million and my largest sale to one client is 20 million.

Hobbies: I was a trap shooter for about 4 years and traveled into Canada and the western U.S. and, if I don’t say so myself, was pretty good. I also rodeoed as a “bulldogger “ [ steer wrestling] for about 8 years. Shooting is my main hobby though along with horse and mule packing into the backcountry. I used to ride snowmobiles a lot but now enjoy riding side by side 4 wheelers.
