Pamela Down

I should probably start out by saying I was very resistant to any discussion about an auction when it came to selling my parents’ farm/land/property. My thoughts were more towards a private sale. When time and energy from our family ran out, it was pretty clear that an auction was what was needed to make the sale of the farm a reality. My brother had purchased his home through Smith & Co and he was extremely pleased. But again, I was just not convinced. However, as time went by it was very apparent that Smith & Co – headed by Ira Smith – absolutely knew what they needed to do to market then sell our property. We were very impressed with Ira’s expertise and reputation in the area. Buck Hutchens was an invaluable asset – ready to answer questions and help in any way he could. We were so happy with the outcome of the first auction, that we scheduled a second one to complete the liquidation of our parents’ farm. At the end of the day, we feel that Ira and his team have put forward every effort to make sure we had the best results from our two auctions. I would highly recommend Smith & Co to anyone that has property to sell.
