It is a privilege to speak on behalf of Kelly Strauss of Nicholls Auction Marketing Group. I became acquainted with Mr. Strauss through a business relationship involving the sale of assets held by Richard Woodie Tree Farms, of which I am a partner. After careful examination of national auction and marketing groups I chose Nicholls. I spoke with several representatives from other companies and none could match the introduction of Mr. Strauss, his professionalism was exemplary. I considered each company’s record while viewing testimonials as well as their client base. Mr. Strauss represents a company that is entrusted with the distribution of countless assets and the reputation of internationally recognized organizations. No other company could compare to the broad spectrum of services that Nicholls offers from a small parcel sale to the high profile clientele that is served by Mr. Strauss and the Nicholls company. It is apparent to me why the integrity, experience and professionalism delineates Nicholls and places them above the competition. They are prepared to handle the rigors that come with the marketing and auction of assets whether it is sentimental heirlooms or the downsizing of business property.

Time is of the essence when considering a campaign to the day of auction. Kelly Strauss is very thorough and timely. He is exactly the responsive and attentive person for the duty. Upon the signing of the contract, signage was immediately installed and an advertisement was placed on the internet that day. A quick response from potential bidders was the dividend paid from such a rapid action. I believe it was only due to the aggressive nature of Mr. Strauss to attack the bidding pool from the first moment, and he never relented until the gavel was struck. Every step was a carefully measured, culminating in a successful transaction.

On the day of my sale a prudent orchestration by Mr. Strauss and the Nicholls team exhibited their fine qualities as marketeers. My property was sold with a bidding audience from the four corners of the United States. Every resource was exhausted to achieve the highest possible price. The data base of fellow trades people had obviously been exploited by Mr. Strauss. The bidding pool was teaming with qualified bidders from my industry and also investors apprised of the potential. The necessary component to a successful auction had been delivered by Kelly Strauss and the highest possible price was attained.

I can summarize exuberantly the superlatives of Mr. Strauss as being timely, thorough and professional. I will return with future patronage and note the integrity that Kelly Strauss possesses. I will also freely promote the accolades of Kelly Strauss and recommend the services of Nicholls Auction Marketing Group.

Thank you,
