Over the course of years, our experience has taught us successful auctions are not the result of good luck.
Every auction must be carefully thought out to make certain every facet of the event results in the production of the highest amount possible. We have staff members ready to assist with the auction process who also have many years of experience.
National Auction Company was established in 1989 and has conducted all types of auctions including real estate and personal property. The company was founded by George Richards who continues to serve as its President and Principal Auctioneer. For more than thirty years, the company was headquartered in Palm Beach County but relocated to Broward County in 2019.
