Results That Speak for Themselves

Dad's retirement auction was the hardest day and the easiest day at the same time. Ken's crew handled everything — the catalog, the photos, the crowd, the cashiering. We walked off the farm with a clean check and our heads up.

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.

My mother passed in February and we needed to clear the house by May. Ken's team came out, did everything, and the auction brought in more than we'd hoped. They were kind to us the whole way through.

I'd been told my dad's tractor collection was a fool's errand to sell at auction — too specific, too narrow a market. Bonnigson disagreed. They brought buyers from five states. Hammer total exceeded what private offers had been by a third.

Straight talkers. They told me my house wouldn't auction well — that a regular listing would do better. Most auctioneers wouldn't have said that. We listed, sold in three weeks, and I've recommended them to everyone since.

The Spring Consignment Sale brought 380 bidders out and ran from 9 AM to almost 6 PM. Ken kept it moving the whole day. My equipment cleared at numbers I didn't think were possible in this market.
