WHAT PAST CLIENTS SAY ABOUT THE WAY WE WORK!

I am completely happy that I chose ARA to sell my home and personal belongings. You put many years of experience into making this work for me and I am grateful.

Patsy, nobody could handle so many varied responsbilities and details as well as you. You are truly a miracle worker. Tireless, focused, persistent, respectful and completely professional -- that's you, Patsy. Thank you.

And Dorwin, it is obvious tha tyou know how to market and that you pull out all the stop for your clients. No one else could have created this much interest in a difficult economic climate. Your realistic attitude coupled with your positive outlook are a winning combination. Magic. Thank You.

You have my endorsement entirely!

You recently conducted an auction at my mother's home in Everton. This will be an attempt to tell you how grateful I am for all the hard work you did.

Both of you, and your team, did an excellant job. There were thirty years of accumulated "treasures" in mom's house. She had to leave her home on short notice and was unable to do anything to get ready for the auction. You ogranized, cleaned, sorted, discarded and did anything else that was necessary to get ready for the sale.

At the auction, everything was ready. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate, but that was certainly not your fault. You made the best of the situation. The "lots" were all organized, the house and sheds were spotless clean, and your people were prepared, efficient and friendly.

Thank you for everything.

"We would be remiss if we did not provide you with our feelings regarding your service having conducted two auctions for us, one an estate auction and one a moving auction, this year. Needless to say, both were emothional events in our lives. Your professionalism was first class. The genuine caring you exhibited made it much easier for us to get through both auctions. You took each item to be auctioned and acted if it was your personal item that was being auctioned. This personal attention to the organization leading up to the auctions was so helpful to us.

Without a doubt these were the most organized, flawless auctions ever attended by either of us. Many of our neighbors and friends commented on how well the auctions were run.

The bottom line is, that you both felt like family to us, and for that we are grateful. We would recommend, without reservation, your services to potential clients."

Sincerely,
Mike and Phyllis

"It is absolutely amazing how within a two week time frame, everything has been settled and sold!!! You people are amazing and Martha and I are so pleased with the way everything was handled and conducted in such a professional way!!

Thank you so much for being instant friends and taking the ball and running with it in order to get everything done! It was well worth it from our standpoint and we don't know how we would have gotten along had we not hired your company. It is truly a blessing!"

"I am so happy that I found you two to conduct my auction. First of all, you were so very professional and I found you both to be as concerned as I was with the quality of the auction and putting your best foot forward. Patsy, you worked tirelessly to provide me with the best service possible even under less than ideal conditions with my health. I have done over 500 estate sales and expected a lot and I actually got more. The service, the advertising, the Internet work were all top notch and worked together to provide the potential buyers the best service ever! Most of all, you made me feel a part of my auctions. It is not always easy to watch your lifetime collection go to a stranger, but you two made me feel so upbeat that I was excited by auction day!
 
 I would advise anyone with a large household or antiques and collectibles to win big with Shaddox and Advanced Auctions & Realty. You made me feel that my auction was unique and special. I am so glad to have met you both."

"I just want to say thank you all very much. In my lifetime I have attended a lot of auctions. Never have I seen a more organized, more detailed and well run auction. You did a superb job. I could not have found anyone that could have done a better job. Thank you is not ample to let you know how very much I appreciate all that you did."

Very sincerely,
H. McMindes

"David and I would like to put in writing our appreciation for your help in disposing of our household goods. You and your team made things so easy for us, and took care of everything in such a professional manner. We were very pleased with the the outcome of the auction, and are sure that we made much more than if we had gone to the work of trying to sell everything on our own. It was a pleasure to do business with you.

We haven't gotten too far down the road yet, but are having a good time. Thanks for helping make our adventure possible."

Sincerely,

"I thank you for your professionalism, dedication and most of all, your compassion. Your goal to provide me with the most personal and professional service has been met and exceeded. The documentation and attention to detail was outstanding, and I know that Advanced Auctions will be a big success under your management and quest for high quality..."

"I found Dorwin and Patsy Shaddox through a referral from a good friend (in Harrison)...she said they would be honest and take care of everything for us. And they did. My grandmother's house had been empty for about three years. She passed away in March...The Shaddoxes...cleared and sorted 95 years of stuff my grandmother had saved. They were very thoughtful...they did an unbelievable job and took a huge burden off our shoulder and minds. There aren't enough words to express our appreciation to them..."
