“ price exceeded our expectations…”

Prior to selling our home, Gary & I attended numerous Col. Rene’ Brass Auctions. We observed the ever increasing numbers of people who had sold their homes using the auction method. After 2 years of using conventional methods and getting little or no results, it was time to Col. Rene’ Brass auctions. Immediately we knew this was the right decision. In 2 weeks there were many interested parties at our open house. In 4 weeks there were a number of solid pre-approved bidders, who knew the house was to be auctioned on this day. How exciting!! With in 15 minutes, the bidding was done. We were asked if the price met our approval. (We could accept or refuse this offer) without hesitation, we accepted, due to the fact the price exceeded our expectations. A sizable down payment (nonrefundable) was made and a closing date was set. Within a matter of days, from the time Col. Rene’ Brass explained the process, we had our money and all commissions were paid by the buyer.

Sincerely,

ANOTHER HOME SELLS WELL AT AUCTION!

Life is short- If you need to move quickly, Col. Rene’ Brass Auction can make it happen for you! 

After personally attending numerous auctions  and watching the FAMILY from the Col. Rene’ Brass Auction company working, it was easy for my family to make a decision on how to liquidate our assets quickly! We found the entire experience to be beneficial for both the buyers and the sellers. The real down home concern for a positive outcome was felt from the beginning to the end. Trustworthiness was A+. Professionalism was always obvious and our total expectation was met!  Within a total of 3 weeks new doors were opened for us and the old ones were closed with the benefit of making some new friends!

ANOTHER HOUSE SOLD AT AUCTION!!!

We have been to numerous Col.Rene’ Brass Auctions, and witnesses first hand, a few Real Estate Properties being sold at auction.

So when we were faced with selling my mother’s home in Phillips, WI, we decided to give Rene’ a chance to sell it. After seeing how successful Rene’ was at selling other real estate, we weren’t at all apprehensive.-(many people thought we should be).

“Why would you even attempt to sell a house at auction?” “Isn’t that kind of risky?” These are the questions we kept hearing from our friends and neighbors, from the time it was announced until the day of the auction.

Well, the house sold in less than 30 minutes of auction time with no contingencies, and for a price that was exactly what we were hoping for. Closing was in 29 days, with no problems along the way. It was a cash sale, so closing only took about 10 minutes, in OUR home.

WOW! It doesn’t get any better than that.

Rene’ and Bob were very enthusiastic and efficient at handling the auctioning portion of the sale. Karla was equally efficient in handling the Offer to Purchase and all of the other follow-up paperwork. And Linda did a superb job with the Closing.

All said, the entire process was an enjoyable experience.

Dear Col. Brass,

You and your band of dedicated workers did an outstanding job with our auction. I’m sure no one could have worked harder to organize, advertise, set up, and execute a sale than you and Col. St. Louis did.

Under some really trying weather conditions ( some might call it a blizzard) you and the group performed with professional dedication to make the sale a success. Thanks a million, and if anyone is thinking about an auction, Brass and St. Louis are the auctioneers to get. I’ll put my money on them any day!

Sincerely,

Robert and Phyllis Pence

After having our property for sale with different realty companies, we went to several Col. Rene’ Brass auctions, and decided that that was the way to go!

Col. Rene’ and her crew were very professional in all aspects. Mary and I were very nervous, but by the end of the day we were ready to head to our new home in Florida.

We still love the Crandon area and will be back for some of the summer. Can’t take the cold weather is the reason we moved to Florida.

When my brothers, sister, and I decided to sell our parents’ homestead, we asked a childhood neighbor and friend who grew up to be one of the best auctioneers in northern Wisconsin to help us. From the very beginning of the process, Colonel Rene’ Brass and her partner, Colonel Robert St. Louis, gave us solid advice about how to prepare for the sale. Rene’ and her team put a lot of effort into their preparations for the auction, and the actual event went like clockwork. This team is efficient and professional, and we highly recommend their services.

Phelps home brings $211,750.00 in 
5 minutes

When faced with a loss of a family member, the last thing a family needs is more stress. When we decided that the best choice for us after our mom passed away, was to sell her property. We could have done it a few different ways, but knowing about Col. Rene’ and her staff including Bob St. Louis. We contacted her to inquire about a sale. We were 500 miles away and it was not the best weather conditions, Col. Rene’ and Bob St. Louis are professionals. She got right on details and kept us posted on all matters. The property sold and closed within 30 days. All the personal items were sold also. It was such a relief to deal with an honest and up-front person. It made a difficult time easier. Our only regret is that we couldn’t meet one of the hardest working ladies there is!!

With our regards, Bob Larson & Linda Sommers

VERY HAPPY AUCTION CUSTOMER

Dear Rene' & staff:
Today was my first auction and I was truly impressed with the professional, sincere and caring that was demonstrated by your entire staff. In spite of the snow showers and a loss of the Packers game, my sale went well beyond  expections and I would definitely recommend you to any and all that were considering your services.

We had a very intensive item list and things moved smoothly without glitches...without hitches.

Thanks again...Your auction was the one that made me a believer...I will be seeing you at future auctions...

Respectfully submitted...

Dear Col. Rene' Brass, Col. Bob St. Louis & staff:

Dear Col. Rene', Col. Bob & crew:

"Thank you" doesn't come close to the sentiment that our family feels toward all of you for the magnificent job you did conducting our recent auction. The energy and enthusiasm that each of you demonstrated resulted in a successful sale beyond our expectations. The pay-out at the end of a long day continues to WOW us! We can't think of a single thing that could be changed or improved upon.

So, while thank you only begins to convey our appreciation, know that we couldn't be more thrilled with your services and will do all we can to recommend you to one and all.

Sincerely,
Family of Barry Wykowski
(Pat & Bobbe)

Hi Rene',

Just a note to tell you how much I enjoyed seeing you guys again. The weather was pretty lousy, but it's amazing how you kept the crowd involved. I've been to lots of auctions in my travels around the country and have never seen any auctioneer do as great a job as you did. Your entire group appeared to be having fun also and the crowd appreciated that too. What a great show!
I have never seen anyone keep up that level of energy for an entire day. It made me tired watching you work.

I'm sure the sellers were extremely pleased with the results and would bet that you have great recommendations from all of your clients. The technology use was something I'd never seen used at an auction before either. That sure simplifies the accounting.

Even tho the moths didn't escape from my wallet this time, I'm sure if I'm in the area I'll drop in again.

Have a great summer,
Dave Blahnik

Dear Col. Rene’, Bob, & Karla,

Thank you for a job well done on the sale of my mother’s home in Rhinelander. This is the second time that our family has asked you to auction off property. The first time was in Argonne, Wi. when my husband’s parents passed away. My husband and his siblings decided to have their property sold by Col. Rene’ Brass Auctions. Due to the professional way in which you handled the sale, it was an easy decision to again ask for your services. In both cases, the properties required continued upkeep & expenses such as lawn mowing, snow removal, utilities, taxes, & insurance. It was very reassuring to know that when the date of the auction was set, an offer would be made with the closing to quickly follow instead of waiting for an interested buyer. 
On both properties, our families felt we received a fair market value. With the housing market like it is today, this was an accomplishment on your part! This was due to the amount of advertising you did, the open house showing, & professional way in which you conducted the auction. During all of this, you remained approachable & helpful.

Sincerely,
Nancy Fulk (the family of Lucille Norton)  1-28-10

Dear Rene’,

     I have been meaning to write this note to you for some time, but as usual I keep putting things off. So I finally decided to get to this.

      The only reason I write is to tell you how much I enjoy your auctions and the work you do putting them together. As you know, I have been coming to your auctions for nearly 30 years now. I’ve said many times that I would pay to get in if you didn’t let us in for nothing.

       What I particularly like about your auctions is that I know I am going to a real auction, not some garage sale where the owner has put hidden reserves on some items. I know that everybody really likes that about your auctions.

        You have a great reputation for honesty and integrity in how you handle the entire events, and you should be very proud of the reputation you have built up over the years for those traits.

         I am a big admirer and fan and wish you the very best for many years to come.

Sincerely yours,
 

Justice William A. Bablitch-retired
Wisconsin Supreme Court
