I had dimmerling do an estate auction at my deceased parents home. The day of the auction was horrible. Their opening bids were fair but after a few seconds of no response they would immediately drop the bid to next to nothing. They gave the buyers permission to come back and claim their purchases whenever the buyer felt like it. I still had strangers coming to my property two days after the auction to claim their stuff. They would still be coming had I not put a stop to it 48 + hours after the auction. These people didn't even bother to knock on my door and announce their presence. They just drove their vehicles through my lawn like they owned the place. Much damage to my lawn.They allowed the buyers to throw trash all over the property. One buyer came to claim his purchases two days after the auction. No one asked me if it was okay. I didn't know the man was coming. Building was locked. Dimmerling told the man to cut the lock. Can you say trespassing or even worse breaking and entering. Summit county sheriffs office responded. Police report available. The only reason dimmerling didn't leave in hand cuffs was because he didn't actually cut the lock himself. I allowed the buyer to leave without pressing charges. He made a stupid mistake but dimmerling was the true criminal. Items seemed to go missing days before the auction. When I inquired about them they would magically reappear the following day. You can draw your own conclusion. I had items clearly marked not to be sold. Dimmerling ignored this. Some things he threw out. Others I believe were sold. His buyers bought large quantities of items. They would them proceed to pick the best things from their purchase and just left the rest me me to deal with. The dump fee is going to cost me well over the few measly dollars I made. I feel I let the fox in the hen house. Was forced to watch the slaughter and then I got stuck cleaning up the mess. Terrible people. Horrible service. All for next to nothing. I now am forced to stay here and guard my property from trespassers and other criminal activity from dimmerling and his auction schills / groupies. I meant to say buyers. Careful what you wish for. You might just end up with a knife in your back. My advise would be to stay away from Dimmerling Auctioneers and Realty Company. read more
