Over 40 years ago, Lonny and Annette Real Estate started Real Estate Auction Service conducting personal property and real estate auctions. By the mid-1980s, the founders had grown the auction firm to ten staff members, including auctioneer and now Chief Administrative Officer Rick Brock, selling personal property and real estate auctions on-site every week.
Today, Lonny and Annette are still actively involved in the company. Leadership has transitioned to third-generation auctioneers Braden Real Estate and Megan Real Estate Niedens, who have expanded the business's services to include six different divisions operating with over 30 employees.
