Company Information

Country Boys Auction & Realty

Country Boys Auction & Realty Co., Inc. has been servicing the needs of individuals, lending institutions, and the court systems for over 30 years. We have continually strived to provide the most complete liquidation services for all types of real estate; residential, recreational, commercial, or industrial property, as well as a vast array of personal property including vehicles, machinery, and equipment.

Our company sells both personal property and real estate in multiple venues, primarily by auction, but occasionally through retail sales, listings, private sale, and liquidation. We market our auctions and sales on a variety of platforms including newspaper advertising on local, regional, state, and national levels. In addition to newspaper advertising, we regularly utilize print advertising in trade magazines and specialty industry publications and websites. We also use a variety of signage including small “yard” signs, banners, and large rigid signage to promote sales. Our company uses electronic advertising such as direct email, websites, and other platforms to promote our auctions.

He has developed his skills from working side by side with his father, the founder of the company, his entire career as well as drawing from his direct involvement in the industry. Mike started participating in the family auction business as a child and has spent his entire life in the industry and is now leading Country Boys Auction & Realty Co., Inc. into a new generation of auction, liquidation, and evaluation for an even larger customer base.

In addition to Mike and Dewey, Country Boys Auction & Realty, Inc. has a large staff of trained professionals including additional auctioneers Douglas Pierce and Keith Gould, office personel Tammy Jones and Wanda Pierce, and an extensive staff of inventory and auction specialists to assist both our buying and selling customers with all their needs. Full time, day to day involvement in both the real estate and auction business, required and optional continuing and ongoing education, and company training help all of our employees provide the highest level of professionalism and representation in our industry. We have proudly presented an unblemished reputation for over 30 years as a company in both the real estate and auction industries. This accomplishment gives us the opportunity to provide service to a large number of large banking and trust companies, the United States Federal Court System, other government agencies, a large number of trustees and attorneys, and private parties as well.
