Free Consultations. We are happy to offer free consultations in either live in-person form, or virtually.
In Person Consultation: We come to you and examine your Real Estate, Household, or Farm contents and advise the costs on the spot. Consultations are completely free and without obligation!
Virtual Consultation: You send us a sufficient quantity of photos and we will be able to advise public auction costs based on those photos and description of the property. When showing us an entire estate or household you may simply photograph each room. It is not necessary to send photos of each item. Though we do ask for separate photos for items of notable value. You may either text photos to us (636-222-7000) or email them: contact@franklincountyauction.com
Live & Online Estate Auctions
Franklin County Estate Sales & Auction Service offers our clients several options to sell their belongings. The two most popular are Live On-location Auctions and Online Auctions.
Online Auctions
Franklin County Estate & Auction Service offers Online Auctions for those who may wish to liquidate their home or estate without having a live on location auction. While we are happy to conduct a live auction for you, some of our clients have opted for the online auction method when doing an estate, household or relocation sale. This method is often chosen by those who may not have ideal parking for a live auction or that may not wish to have a large gathering at their location. Online Auctions allow for the sale of the contents of your home, farm or estate, yet allow sellers to avoid property and privacy concerns associated with large gatherings.

ESTATES & HOUSEHOLDS
COMPLETE ESTATE LIQUIDATION
When a loved one passes, it is a difficult time. Often family members are faced with the reality of having to dispose of one or more generations worth of personal possessions. Garage sales can be difficult due to having to take the time to organize and price everything. Franklin County Estate & Auction Service personnel take many of these headaches away by organizing all items in a manner which will ensure sale for the highest price. We encourage those who have been charged with estate liquidation to contact us for a Free consultation to determine if your estate should be auctioned.
FARMS
FARM AUCTION SPECIALISTS
Farms and machinery sales are right up our alley. Auctions are by far the best means of liquidating the contents of a farm estate. There are often so many items that there are few other ways to effectively sell it all. We advertise in the places that buyers for farm implements, and machinery look. Farm auctions have always had a huge following here in Missouri. People attend these Missouri auctions for a variety of reasons. Machinery, guns, antiques, tools, etc. One thing is certain. Most everyone who bothers to go to a farm auction buys something. The more buyers, the more competition to bid. Please do not hesitate to contact us concerning your farm auction needs.
ANTIQUES
AUCTIONS ARE THE BEST WAY TO SELL ANTIQUES!
Here in Missouri, most farms, estates, or household sales have some kind of antiques. There are many antique collectors in Missouri. There are many people who love to decorate their homes with antiques. We are trained to recognize and appraise antiques within estates and farms and advertise those which have a broad appeal to collectors, so they bring the highest potential price at auction.
REAL ESTATE & BUSINESS
Auctions are effective ways to sell homes, property, and business!
If you have a home or business to sell, either with or without the estate contents, we can help! If you do not already have a price in mind, we will give an honest assessment of value and help you reach a price that you would sell your home for. When auctioning a home or property you set the minimum price that the property must bring in order to sell. Just as if you were listing with a standard real estate agent. What benefits do you get when doing house auctions over a standard sale? Our seller commissions are about half that of real estate agents, which puts more money in your pocket! Also, with a real estate sales auction, buyer's compete and bid against each other, which in turn can result in a higher selling price than what you had set! We also sell your home "As-Is" which means you will not have to offer a warranty on the home or be responsible for making improvements. It sells in the condition it is in and the sale is final. There are also no contingencies, which mean that those who bid must be prepared to place a nonrefundable cash deposit down payment the day they win the bid. This helps ensure that the Buyers who bid in a real estate auction have their money in place before they bid. This greatly increases the outcome that the sale will complete and close on time! The current real estate market is indeed a seller's market. The auction method of sale offers you the best opportunity to achieve the maximum sale price! Contact us if you are considering selling your home, farm or acreage. We also conduct real estate appraisals for those needing this service. Franklin County Estate & Auction can also conduct your business liquidation sale or auction!
Estate-House
Buyout Option
