If you are planning a liquidation for yourself or representing an estate, we would like to speak with you.  Please contact us to discuss any auctions of real estate, farm machinery, antiques, firearms or personal property. 

Our recent auctions have continued to show the demand for all types of property being sold.  We are fortunate to have many excellent sales of machinery, guns, antiques, home furnishings, and estate sales scheduled and listed in our calendar.  If you are considering selling an entire collection, estate, or any types of real estate or personal property we would like to meet with you to discuss your upcoming sale without obligation. 

Our Company, over the near 70 years since our founding, has seen Stanton's selling over 9,000 auctions, giving us the experience needed for a successful auction.

Our recent sales have generated millions of dollars in sales for our clients. These auctions have found record sales in Real Estate, all types of antiques, antique and modern guns, coins and numismatic material, personal property and more.  The auctions (both Online and Live) have also utilized online and live platforms reaching buyers from around the country and world.  

Also note that as Licensed Real Estate Brokers we handle the sale of Real Property not only at auction, but through private sale.  Feel free to call us to discuss the best option for you.
