Alderfer Auction recently announced the addition of Hayley Schaffer as online on-site coordinator and Joanna Childs and Bonnie Childs as catalogers and logistics lead, respectively. When people think auction, they think product. This is partially correct. Auction is a service. One of Alderfer Auction’s services that has grown over the past two years, under the ownership of Sherry S. Russell, is online on-site auctions. Some people recall the days of an at-home tag sale or an on-location auctioneer with his/her soapbox podium. Now add a modern twist that reaches a local and worldwide audience. This is an online on-site auction. Items are sold in the house, inplace, and within a short time frame online. This is accomplished

in five easy steps, cataloging onsite, marketing, selling online, supervised pickup, and the consignor is paid in 21 business days. In other words, the entire contents of the property, from attic to basement, garage to outbuildings, are sold in-place without moving costs. Alderfer’s can also sell the real estate using the auction method, start to finish. Sold and settled in 60 days. In the first quarter of 2019, the online on-site team has listed over 6,000 lots and has taken over 45,000 photos. Customers have stated, “I have bid on other online auctions, but Alderfer Auction’s photography and descriptions are clearer, more comprehensive and accurate.
