8 When Bruce Witt first heard United Country was adding an auction division he thought “this is stupid, why does United Country need a bunch of pots & pans salesmen?” As time went by, he heard how offices were utilizing auctions to sell land and thought maybe he’d “try one on for size someday”. Someday came when he received a call from a client wanting to sell their farm by auction. He couldn’t find an auctioneer nearby so he contacted the Home Office for assistance. With much guidance from the home office he had his first auction and sold the farm. Bruce followed his first auction by attending Texas Auction Academy and moved right into regularly selling properties by auction. He now believes United Country Auction Services is “the best thing to come down the pike since websites!”. Case Study

9  An outside auctioneer contacted United Country for assistance in selling a 100,000 square foot conference center on 1,750 acres in Southern Oklahoma.  Project scope was to market the property as a multi-parcel auction selling absolute to the highest bidder.  Marketing and promotion focused on the local and regional investor buyers as well as national rehab and treatment centers and oil and gas companies. We also engaged with Brian Bendele’s video production company to create a custom designed property showcase video driving additional buyer interest.  Over 26,000,000 market impressions and more than 3,800 unique visitors to the auction website from the marketing campaign.  Results: Property sold prior to auction for more than the seller expected
