Work History

Owner

  • Managed auction logistics, ensuring seamless operations and timely execution of events.
  • Cleaned out Estates for customers that needed to get property empty. This entailed showing up at customers location with my truck and trailer, loading all items from the estate that needed to be removed and taking them to my auction house.
  • Once at the auction house items were unloaded, categorized, pictured and were put on an online auction.
  • Pictures of the items were then downloaded with a detailed description and put on an online auction, the auction would normally run for a week and when it ended I would have the buyers come to the auction house to pickup there purchases. Then the proceeds from the auction would be paid to the consignors.
  • Oversaw financial transactions, maintaining accuracy in bidding records and payment processing.
