Walnut Creek’s Unique Position In The Industry

Walnut Creek offers many unique benefits to you, the consumer, that others simply never thought of. Among the reasons to use Walnut Creek are:

The Industry’s Only Price Protection Program™

Every seller is offered the industry’s only Price Protection Program™ by Walnut Creek, assuring them of receiving the fair market price for their merchandise. Ask about it.

Licensed Employees

Our professionals, unlike most firms, have our REALTOR® license, broker’s license, appraisal license, auctioneer license and professional auction house license. You’ll find it difficult to discover that combination anywhere else…offering you the latest in legal and professional auction services.

Continuing Education

Every key employee is required to continue high-intensity education in order to stay abreast of trends,values, laws and responsibilities.

Contractual Agreements

All auctions are conducted under a written, detailed contractual agreement so every seller understands all terms and conditions prior to the sale.

Knowledge

Our staff has been through auctions of every type and we’re heavily involved in state auctioneer association management and governance. Our knowledge comes from experience, interaction with a large group of auctioneers, extensive research and continuing education. Teaching new auctioneers at our college forces us to be on the cutting edge of information pertinent to both buyer and seller.

Research

When we find a unique piece of glassware, an old piece of furniture or some oddity not commonly found, we don’t just toss it in the line-up and sell it. We sell it only after we have a full knowledge of its value. That’s a pretty uncommon approach in the auction world, but we’re committed to not selling an item we know nothing of.

Marketing

Obviously, the more buyers at an auction, the better. And knowing the right ones is what we know. We haveone of the highest percentages of buyers: attendees ratios in the industry with more than 90% of registered bidders actually purchasing at our sales. That’s the result of more than 30 years of extensive marketing experience at work. And we have a long list of attendees and what they buy that we contact whenever we have their favorite items.

Friendliness

Our staff is professional and friendly. There is no room fro arrogance or mistreatment of a client. You be the judge when you talk to us.

Global Reach

We broadcast many of our auction via simulcast live online auction capability. That brings hundreds of additional bidders to your merchandise.
