Iron Horse Auction Company, Inc.

Our History Iron Horse Auction Company, Inc. was established in 1983 to provide comprehensive asset recovery and marketing services for America’s leading corporations, non-profit organizations, professionals and individuals. The company was formed by consolidating the resources and expertise of several individuals already active in the auction and real estate industry. With vast experience selling all types of personal property and real estate, along with cutting-edge technical support, Iron Horse Auction Company has established itself as the premier provider of professional real estate auction services in the Southeastern United States. The experience and expertise of Iron Horse Auction Company principals allows it to effectively market assets for clients in targeted areas including real estate (farm, resort, apartments, condominiums, residential, large tracts, timber lands and commercial properties), industrial machinery and equipment, building supplies, engineering equipment, mining equipment, merchantable timber, automobile racing equipment, decorative arts and collectables, and much more. In addition to specializing in the auction method of marketing, we also have the ability to market your assets via the internet, sealed bid, or private listing and negotiation. Our targeted marketing and promotion of real estate and personal property assets has generated greater than $380 million in sells for our clients over the last 20 years. Iron Horse Auction Company can produce proven results for sellers with an unmatched portfolio of experienced staff and services for property owners in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia. Our Marketing Approach In today’s rapidly changing market, an auction is one of the first options many property owners think of to sell residential and commercial properties. Live auctions, internet auctions, and sealed bid auctions are utilized depending on the needs and desires of the client. Sellers now include medium to large land owners, blue-chip companies, not-for-profit organizations, and building owners under no imminent financial pressure to sell. The range of buyers has expanded as well, to include institutional investors and small entrepreneurs with long-term goals. Property owners, who in the past may have hesitated to go to auction thinking they wouldn’t get a good price, are now inspired by the increased demand for real estate by investors who have fled or are fleeing the stock market. Opportunities to benefit from capital gains tax legislation through 2008 have also increased interest in selling farms, forest land, and residential and commercial properties. Marketing assets to obtain the maximum return is a complex process, however. Experience and expertise in a wide range of disciplines is required to meet any challenges and take full advantage of marketing opportunities as they arise. Iron Horse Auction Company has assembled a team of creative and dedicated professionals to enable us to customize our services to meet each client’s specific needs. For each client, we assemble the right team of professionals to manage the client’s project from planning to implementation for a successful and profitable result. The principals of Iron Horse take primary responsibility for managing each client’s relationship and working directly with the other team members to achieve the client’s objectives. One auction professional is assigned to each client and is responsible for the overall management of that auction. Each auction professional is supported by marketing, financial, operations, and event staff members to meet the needs of the each respective client. Through our dedication to delivering professional asset recovery and marketing services, we have developed our strongest marketing tool - a loyal and satisfied client.
