From satisfied clients

Dear Jon,

I cannot thank you enough for your time, effort, honesty, integrity, and professionalism when you and your workers conducted our auction on 5-21-08.

Everything went just exactly as planned!

I was pleased with our advertising, the number of people that attended, the great food wagon, your set up people, your tabulator, your clerks, your computer tabulation equipment, our payment check, and last but certainly not least, your energy, enthusiasm, and stamina before, after, and during the sale!

People that attended the auction have also commented that the auction went very well and they enjoyed the day!

It took me a long time to have an auction....however, this process went so well, I'd certainly do it again with Jon Carr Auctions.

Sincerely,

Hello Mr. Carr.
 
I am Mike Rolf from Cleveland Ohio and I was in attendance at the liquidation auction of the Colonel White School. I wanted to tell you that I have attended many industrial as well as school auctions all over the state of Ohio, and I have rarely seen any auction of that size and caliber handled as well and professional as that one. The auction crew that you have was the best I have ever seen. It was a very long day for everyone, but yet your firm maintained professionalism right to the end, as well as assisting in the grunt work of loading. I have never been to one of your auctions in the past, but thank you and your crew for a very delightful experience.

P. S.- Buy your staff members a big steak dinner.

Dear Jon,
Thank you for all you did for us before, during and after our brothers auction. We were truly out of our wits end as to where to go next. When our brother passed away, calling you in was the best decision that we could have made. You and your people took charge of everything from displaying all of the items to be sold, to cleaning up after auctions end.

Thanks again to you and your associates for a great, and well done 1st. class job.

I want to thank you and your crew for all of your help and advice in reducing my inventory of commercial landscaping equipment. Your professional skills and experience was quite evident while putting together a very good auction for me. Your style of auctioneering is very appealing to the crowd and made it fun to attend one of your auctions.

Again, Thank You for a job well done!!

Dear Jon,

A very big THANK YOU for all of your hard work prior to; during; and after the auction. I am very pleased with the outcome of my auction. Your knowledge and expertise greatly helped in my decisions in what to include in the auction. I now can concentrate on selling my home so I can move to smaller quarters.

Again thank you and your staff and if you should ever need a letter of recommendation for your abilities, please don't hesitate to call on me for one.

Dear Mr. Carr & auction team:
 
I want to THANK YOU for all that you did to auction off my "small" estate. I did accumulate quite a bit over 46 years, but you did manage to auction all the items for me. I was very happy with the money received from the sale of all the items.
 
Your contract was a simple one-page piece of paper, of which, all lines were explained to me in full. You fulfilled the contract and even exceeded my expectations. You treated me with respect and honor. You did everything I asked of you and more. I would recommend you to ALL in the Miami Valley. 
 
Many thanks again for all your work,
 
Regards,

To who ever reads this letter

My wife and I were very pleased with all the results of our recent auction. Our auction was in the hands of Col. Jon Carr and his hard working and courteous work crew. His helpers respected all of our property as well as any concerns that my wife and I had. They worked very hard to display all items for the auction. We truly believe that anyone thinking about having an auction, don't sign the dotted line until you talk to Col. Jon----He IS THE BEST.

Dear Jon Carr auctioneer,

Words could never express how pleased I was with the auction you did for me. I was really surprised. Your staff worked so hard to get all the things done, you just didn't leave it all up to someone else to do. Everywhere I go I tell everyone how satisfied I was with your services and I make sure that they can remember your name.  Thanks you again for everything and " thank God I called you to conduct my auction".

Just a note to let you know how much I really appreciated you expertise in getting and handling my recent auction. I realize it was a "short notice" event but on the same token I felt very satisfied with the outcome, best of all, there were no leftovers for me to dispose of.

Thank you, Jon, for handling my auction on August 9 of this year. 

You took time to inventory the major items to be sold and prepared an excellent advertising sheet with highlighted headings and several pictures which created an interest.  The web site had several hits.

You carefully explained the terms of the auction including commission, cost of labor and fees, rent of Port-A-John.  The two men who helped Tuesday and Wednesday did an excellent job getting everything ready; you had kept in touch with me and with them to make sure everything would go on time and it did.  After the auction, you provided a detailed listing showing receipts and costs incurred.

It was obvious you have a very loyal following.

I was able to downsize quickly so the reason for the auction was fulfilled.

Cordially,
Edie

Please post this to your testimonial page on your website. Anyone reading this - please do not hesitate to use Col. Carr for any auction needs you may have.

Thanks again,
Sincerely,

Jon,

My husband & I appreciate so much your counsel, experience, & professional expertise in conducting our auction.  We are quite pleased with the results.  An added plus was that you were so gracious that we feel as if we are one of your family.

Truly, Russel & Lois Duke

What a great time Saturday October 29 was, at the Brookville School auction. It was fun to talk to old friends and former classmates, walk the halls and write your name on a chalkboard one last time,and of course buy a piece or two of B.H.S. history. I even got to walk the halls with my father Russell Rhoades, who graduated 31 years before me and hear his many stories about the school. I would also like to commend Auctioneer Jon W. Carr and his courteous staff for the very thorough way the auction was handled. Items were laid out so they could be viewed easily, and the men who had taken down the many items could answer any and all questions concerning them. I think Jon Carr and staff deserve a huge pat on the back. Most auctions (this was my first school auction), usually has 2-3 auctioneers taking turns "crying the sale", but Jon did this all by himself. This sale lasted almost 11 hours, I was there from start to finish, and I wouldn't have missed a single minute of it. What a great "once in a lifetime opportunity!"

I just wanted to thank you guys for the wonderful job that you did on my mother's auction. Being out of town I could not handle a lot of the details and you handled all of them. I thought the auction was well attended and very organized. I especially liked the itemized list separated by lot numbers which kept it easy for me to organize. I would highly recommend your auction service to anyone looking. You delivered on what you promised.

Col. Jon Carr & Associates,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you "for a job well done"" on our recent auction. You and your staff did a fantastic job. Jon, you were always there to answer questions, bring supplies when needed and be there to help everything along. You calmed my anxiety about being ready for the big day. Just wanted you to know, you and your staff were appreciated and we would highly recommend you to anyone who is thinking about having a need for an auctioneer.

Dear Jon,

We just wanted to express our appreciation for the terrific job you have done in handling the Estate Auction of the personal property of our uncle's estate.

After meeting with you we felt confident that you would handle every detail, and you did.

At our first meeting we found that your contract was simple and to the point with no hidden fine-print, and that all the costs were addressed up front.

You keep in touch!!! I can't tell you how much that meant to us. After months of dealing with lawyers and other creditors, who would never call us back, YOU DID!

Our family was impressed by the advertisement fliers you made that included color photos of the antiques, and you did a really thorough job of listing the contents of the estate.

You interacted with the crowd in a very pleasing manner and quickly sold one table of items and then on to another!! At the end of the auction you even stayed to help the buyers load the bigger pieces of furniture on to their trucks.

Another especially nice thing my husband appreciated as executor of this estate was that you gave him a complete print-out of each item and sale price BEFORE we even went home. The print-out showed what fees were taken out and what the final total for the estate was left. That meant that we could immediately show the heirs of the estate what the totals were.

All the family members that attended the auction were highly complimentary about the way you conducted the auction. We would be pleased to highly recommend you anyone desiring a dedicated Auctioneer!!

In re: Jon Carr

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I’m writing in regards to Jon Carr, a realtor with your company. I thought you should know how much my husband and I appreciated all his hard work, dedication, and thoughtfulness in our dealings with him.

In our endeavor to purchase our first home, we encountered many obstacles. From spending exhausting hours examining listings to find us “the perfect home,” to dealing with an opposing realtor, who was difficult to say the least, Jon always maintained professionalism and sincerity, making our experience much less trying. He referred us to an excellent mortgage broker, was present at every inspection and appraisal, and fought for our rights as buyers. Jon always made us feel as though we were his only clients, although we knew we were not.

Purchasing a home is emotionally draining and Jon did his best to ensure our best interests were protected. He became more than a realtor, he became a friend. He is an excellent representation of what a realtor should be. He is most definitely an asset to your organization.

It is safe to say that my husband and I will never make another attempt at a real estate transaction without Jon Carr and The Realty Group. We promise to do our very best to advise everyone we know who may need assistance in the future what a pleasant experience we had with your company. Jon should, indeed, be recognized for his dedication.

Very Sincerely,

Stephanie Tracy
A very happy home-buyer
