You did an outstanding job in getting everything organized, sold, and picked up from our agency. It’s nice to have our evidence bay back (after over a year) and nice that the victim has at least partial restitution. Thanks for getting all this arranged and feel free to use me as a future recommendation.
Thank you for your assistance in the matter…..and thank you so much for helping us with the auction of Willie’s things. You made a difficult situation much easier. For that, we are grateful. We can’t believe you got the house and all of the contents sold within 30 days from our meeting you.
The Connell family would like to say a big Thank You for everyone that came to the auction. We had a big crowd! Family, friends, customers and some that just go to auctions. Plus an extra big Thank You to Auctioneer Michael Hoffman and his crew for doing the auction for us.
Myself, my law partner, and our probate paralegal have all had the opportunity during the last several years to engage the services of Mr. Michael Hoffman. He has provided prompt and valuable services in the areas of asset valuation and asset liquidation. Several of the engagements have involved unique items of tangible personal property, and Michael has been able to draw from numerous expert services to come up with valuations that have, in a 2016 case, even satisfied the Internal Revenue Service in an otherwise difficult federal estate tax audit.
Furthermore, in a recent probate case, Michael conducted an effective and fair real estate auction. Whether for real property or personal property, our firm will be seeking the services of Mr. Hoffman in all future cases, as we have for the last several years.
Thank you so much for doing such a great job with the selling of our auction merchandise. Everything was handled professionally from the first call. Prompt attention was given to our calls and e-mails and we were very pleased with the sale results. I look forward to working with you on our Spring auction!!!! Thanks so much
Michael,
I should have told you sooner but we so appreciate your help with this huge undertaking.
I know it was a lot of work for you. Thank you so much.
Our experience with Michael Hoffman and Hoffman Auctions was excellent. My Mother had to relocate suddenly and there wasn’t much time to go through all Mother’s things and pack them up or sell them. Michael was a lifesaver.
I live in Florida so Michael organized everything for the auction and handled the sale of the house for me.
I highly recommend Michael Hoffman and Hoffman Auctions.
“When we listed our house and set a date for the auction, we thought it would take 3 months. Michael sold our house in 9 days (at full price) and held the personal property auction 2 weeks later. We had everything done within 45 days! We can’t say enough good things about Michael and his staff.”
