About Us
History:
For over four decades, Col. Jack Bowman has been a choice auctioneer for selling property in the Shenandoah Valley. Jack was licensed in 1978 as an auctioneer. He and his wife, Sandy, started the business as a side business to Jack’s full-time job as a painter. Initially, they only held “on-site” auctions, traveling to the site of the sale. As the demand increased, they leased a building locally to hold auctions, then eventually settled in the present location.
The business has been built on a sound business model of integrity, fair and ethical values, and honesty, which Jack and Sandy have instilled in their five children. All five children are involved in some aspect of the business. The three sons obtained licensure from the Missouri Auction School.
The business has expanded over the years into a full-time enterprise, including real estate and personal property auctions, “on site” auctions and auctions at the auction house. Jack and Sandy live in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
