How it started......
Brandon, has been an auctioneer since 2002. He attended the Ohio Auction School. Where then he spent his time working under Dwain Peak, Auctioneer and Bill Creswell, Auctioneer. From Morrow County (Ohio), he mostly does Farm, Estate and Household Auctions. The annual Morrow County Farm Auctions are held the last Saturday in February and the First Saturday in August. Looking to auction or list a house, farm, rental or commercial property? We now can handle all your real estate transactions (Broker REALTOR - C21 Excellence Realty)
What got me started - I first attended auctions with my dad (Blair Strain) and grandfather (Doug Grimm) where my love of auctions grew. It was also helpful to have a great Uncle Harold Pfeifer who was a well known auctioneer in central Ohio in the business.
