Why Bonnigson

Forty-nine years of saying it straight.

Dual-licensed

Ken Bonnigson is a Certified Auctioneer Institute (CAI) graduate and a licensed Ohio real estate broker. For real estate sellers, that means you get a clear-eyed read on whether auction will actually beat a traditional listing β€” not a sales pitch.

On-site mobile office

Fully computerized clerking and cashiering at every auction. Bidders are registered, cleared, and paid out efficiently. Consignors get accurate, itemized settlements β€” typically within a week of sale day.

Live + webcast hybrid

Most auctions run live on-site and online via webcast bidding. That means the local crowd shows up to drive prices, and out-of-state buyers can bid in real time. More bidders, more competition, better results.

Dad's retirement auction was the hardest day and the easiest day at the same time. Ken's crew handled everything β€” the catalog, the photos, the crowd, the cashiering. We walked off the farm with a clean check and our heads up.
Tom L. Β· Farm retirement auction, Seneca County
We had 120 acres of tillable and a barn full of equipment. Bonnigson sold both inside of 60 days. The land brought 14% over what the realtor had quoted, and the equipment cleared without a single no-sale.
