“Our Beloit facility houses our stateline real estate offices as well as our auction gallery, where we conduct weekly Wednesday auctions of antiques, collectibles, household goods, tools, equipment, and other personal property. We’re open Monday through Saturday to accommodate our clients, with personal property auction previews on Tuesday and Wednesday each week,” Ranft says. “We hold frequent live online auctions, allowing bidders from around the world to find treasures from our sellers.”
An auxiliary auction house east of Beloit in Avalon, Wisconsin provides a great location for friendly, country style auction events.
