Before
We walk the property, tell you what will sell, sort and catalog the contents, photograph the lots, and advertise the sale to the buyers who actually want that category.

Who we are
The name on the sign is the person you deal with
John Carl Auction Company is a family-run auction house based at 8 W Elizabeth Street in Maytown, Pennsylvania. We hold Pennsylvania auctioneer license AY002149.
We run live and online sales, settle full estates, sell real estate at auction, handle complete business liquidations, and clear properties out afterward. Most of the work comes from referrals and repeat customers, which is the only kind of reputation that matters in this trade.
What that means practically: you get a straight answer about what your things are worth selling, including when the answer is that they are not. Nobody here benefits from talking you into a sale that will not bring anything.

The whole job, not part of it
Most of what makes an auction house useful happens before and after the sale itself.
Have something to sell, or a house to clear?
The walkthrough is free and there is no obligation afterward. Worst case, we tell you an auction is not the right move, which is worth knowing too.
