We've been to many auctions with Robert & Rene. They always get the top dollar for all their customers. They both do an excellent job. Very knowledgeable on everything they are auctioning. Keep up the great job. We will be attending more of your auctions!! read more

Dishonest, and ends auction items abruptly to allow himself to win an auction at a low price.

UNRELIABLE!!! He doesn't show up, doesn't return calls, doesn't want your auction unless he can walk away with BIG $$$$$! He knew I was driving 300 miles to meet him in N WI, and approx. 30-40 minutes before the apt., he sent a text: "I don't feel good, I won't be coming". He never contacted me again. I don't believe that he was sick. I believe he didn't show up because he didn't want to do the auction in the first place. I believe he lied to me. If you do business with him, I am sure you will be disappointed!!!! read more

I wouldn't give them any stars if I could. After reading Laura's Yelp review, I knew I had to warn people away as well. Robert came into my parents' home and promised the world. In hindsight, there was another estate sale company that we should have looked at. Robert promised not to "touch" my mother's jewelry drawer until we had a chance to go through it and select our own personal pieces. When we arrived, all of her jewelry was laid out on the bed. Only later did we realize that my grandmother's vintage pieces and all the of Franklin Mint boxed jewelry had been taken. In addition, they don't care if it rains and then demanded that we go purchase 2 large boxes of plastic for $60.00, so they could put out all the items on the yard. They tore the window screens because they handed out items from the home through the windows instead of walking through the very convenient patio doors. They sold in "lots" to hurry the sale and allowed people to purchase the lot and then leave behind anything they didn't want in the lot. The yard and covered shed were a mess. They sold each basement wall for $10.00 and again, people left behind what they didn't want. They even had the audacity to sell the dehumidifier that was plugged in and running for $20.00, which had been a purchase made two months prior for approximately $400.00. Ruts were left behind in the backyard from the food wagon they allow on the property, as well as the soda cans and paper wrappers. They did NOT clean out the house as promised. They left an entire corner in the basement full of things they said, "wouldn't sell". That is not what Robert said during his initial meeting. He promised everything would be emptied out. Renee put all of the food and cases of canned food items in her personal vehicle before they left for the day. She said her father taught her not to waste food. One of the buyers who came back the next day to take the items he purchased, told us that items should have been sold separately and that there were valuable items left behind that were overlooked. He said he felt like they didn't want to deal with it and just wanted to take their money and run. Robert was given a key to the house so that they could stage items and after the sale we realized the key hadn't been returned. When we called Robert, he said he had placed it back in the hiding spot. It was not there, leading us to believe that he just didn't want to bring it back. BEWARE of this company; Robert, Renee, and Renee's boyfriend Travis are con artists. read more

BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY. They hid the fact that there was a Lis Pendens on a property that they auctioned. That is against the law. I will be taking up the matter with the Board of Auctioneers. One of the defendants in the lawsuit called the auction company many days prior to the auction asking them not to sell it because he could be liable for fraud. They ignored him, and told me the day of the auction when I showed them the court papers, that they would call the Sheriff on me if I said anything at the auction. They claimed they had no idea- I cannot believe that a company that auctions property does not do their due diligence and check with the Register of Deeds or title company to see if a property legally can be sold. If they would have done this, they would have clearly discovered the Lis Pendens. I informed them way before the auction started and they still chose to not disclose, and when someone in the bidding audience asked about a law suit, they said there was none. read more

It's been over 4 years since we used these people to sell the contents of my mother's home in Three Lakes. I am still traumatized by the experience and it keeps me up at night. Renee was wonderful and very good at her job, but Robert stomped around with a chip on his shoulder and after a confrontation essentially sold everything for pennies on the potential dollar. Renee was in tears by the end of the day, begging him to "please stop this". We had a 1300 square foot house FULL of furniture, antiques and valuables, including jewelry, coins and guns, two 2-car garages FULL of tools and stored antiques, two sheds FULL of fishing equipment and outdoor items. We walked away with far less than $10,000 for everything. Robert is NOT a trustworthy person, and will take you for whatever he can get away with. Do not challenge or question him or he will purposely give your stuff away for next to nothing in revenge. Lesson learned? Yes. Will I ever forgive myself for selling my mother's estate through them? Not likely. I will never be able to think of my mom without seeing that disappointed look on her face when I told her what her life's work had added up to that day. It was truly a horrible experience. I'm not exaggerating. They have the corner on the market in northern Wisconsin but I highly recommend you find an alternative. I'm writing this, finally, after 4 years because I just need to come to terms with what happened and move on. Maybe this will help if I can think I saved someone else from the pain I went through. read more
