A big thank you to everyone who attended our Open House last week!

Posted on November 14, 2018October 15, 2019 by Miedema Auctioneers

A big thank you to everyone who attended our Open House last week! Thank you for coming out, and we hope you enjoy our new facility! We are so excited to be able to expand into our new space. It’s been a long time coming and we are so happy to finally get to move in. This new space will allow us to serve you, our clients, to the best of abilities, bringing about more auctions and offering you more items!

We love what we do and are so excited to be able to do it in a better and larger capacity. Our new office space will be a great extension for us and the rest of our team and we can’t wait to fully take advantage of the space.

Repocast.com focused specifically on the sale of repossessions (primarily cars) but conducts many auctions every month that have nothing to do with repo cars. We host an auction every Thursday selling everything from autos, trucks, boat, trailers, semis, campers and motorcycles to jewelry and household goods! You never know what you might find in one of our auctions.

We work closely with individuals, businesses, financial institutions as well as local municipalities to liquidate assets that are no longer wanted or needed. Auctions are one of the best ways to get the full value of your items since bidders compete with each other, driving up the final bidding price. If you are interested in selling some of your personal or business assets, contact us here. We can’t wait to help you sell your items.

Thank you all again for attending our open house! Our community is very important to us and we are so glad that you all value us as well. We love being your West Michigan auction house! Thank you again!
