Best Livestock Auction House Ann Arbor Near Me

Jeffrey Donat: Amazing auction service. Fair, reliable and trustworthy.

Nate Van Eck: Braun and Helmer auctions are run very smoothly, professionally, and will leave you feeling comfortable with your decision to auction off your belongings at a fair price. You can tell that these guys are the real deal and have a true drive for excellence that is not easy to come by these days. They have exceeded my expectations.

Jim Butcko: Always a good time 95% of the time I've been pleased with my purchases but my bad buys were mostly my fault. Prices are always good to great for the buyers

Margie Bovee: Braun and Helmer auctioned the contents of our arts center in Saline, MI. David Helmer was the auctioneer. There are not enough words or stars to indicate how efficient, professional, kind, entertaining and knowledgable he is. Within three hours he auctioned everything in the center from kilns to vacuum cleaners. The crowd loved him and the staff loved him. His auctioning is fair and his careful attention to detail is awesome. He worked with us with any questions we might have right to the end. His advertising on the front end of the sale was perfect. People came from miles away! He sold EVERYTHING and EVERYONE was happy. I can't imagine an auction going any better than one conducted by David Helmer.

Peter Gehres: David and Brian are Christian men committed to treating their clients and customers fairly and with great service. I have personally been both a bidder/buyer and a seller with Braun & Helmer and would not hesitate to use them again.

Keywell Coins / Mafia Metals: I attend B&H Auctions often. Always a fun experience and I get the best deals. The guys are always fun to bid with.

Stephanie Renee: I will NEVER let these auctioneers do another auction for me. They sold all my antiques dirt cheap and jumped around from table to table only selling a box here or a box there letting people move boxes and take items out to put in other boxes so they were able to buy just one big box of everything they wanted, and ruined my auction they went into my garage and sold old vintage pictures that was NOT for sale they sold all my antique furniture for 10.00, and my table and chairs (marble worth 3,000) I got a whole 5.00 do not use these scammers. They sold boxes of stuff dirt cheap and they bought it and turned around and sold it from there shop for much more. They are liars and scammers and I would NEVER give them one star but had to give them one to post a review. If you want your stuff to sell at top prices NEVER use these auctioneers EVER!!I can gladly provide details of you ever need reassurance. Please please please do NOT use this company, and if you do please don't let them screw you over and take your things. Fire them if they start doing what I listed above. Our auction which had hundreds of boxes only took a whole two hours. Never again. If I could have I would have sued to get all my things back and make them pay for what they did.

Michele Harris: Braun, and in particular David Helmer, auctioned a deceased relatives items for us. They went the extra mile in everything they did. Professional, courteous, did what they said they would do when they said they would do it and far exceeded our expetations. We couldn't be more pleased with them and their company. I highly recommend them, you won't be disappointed.

Cyndi Perez: They just held an auction for us and the results far exceeded our expectations. They were great every step of the way and we are extremely pleased with the results and professionalism of their team!

Mary Johnston: The issue with this company is that they go in first and grab up what they want and tell the seller that they must hold it for them. This is cheating to say the least

Richelle Thomas: First cut grass hay fresh cut and dried went for 10 cents a bale . You know how disappointing that is ? We’re not bringing anymore for sale that was a kick in the stomach. That doesn’t even pay for the binder twine and the blood sweat and tears not to mention gas that was highway robbery. There should be a set amount no lower than a dollar on hay sale . NOT COOL!!!!

Linda O'Connell: Very friendly, always helpful.

Julie Glair: Organized set up, knowledgeable and helpful staff.

Orson Beeman: Always something good to buy

S S: AWESOME FOLKS! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Sy Caryl: Best place in the state to take lambs and sheep

Michael DePew: The main change for convenience and safety would be to have a full drive surround for the site.

Russ Hall: First time hay buyer. Very happy good price. Only 4stars because it was hot out side. 85* They should be a 5 star. Thanks every one. See you all next month God willing

Joyce Landis: WANT CURRENT MARKET PRICES.

Brost Farms: Good people to work with and top knock auction.

Elizabeth Vanblarcom: Disappointed it's a meat buyers only auction. Wanted just a couple of young sheep for our hobby farm. Anyone know of other auction that sell individual animals? Tried Napoleon but very few sheep or goats go through there the owner told us.

Colleen Sullivan: Ok place

Linda Dalton: Easy access good animal supplies friendly staff

Ed Two: This place is a rip off took a Jersey calf here and thay sold it for 15.bucks when we asked them about it he said yep I remember that because he was the one who bought it Ya a 300. Cow happen to go for 15. That's nothing after the fee in my opinion they stole i ll never come back to this place

Jason Herter: Always a good day with this crew.

Michaela Jundt: Braun and Helmer is great! The best service around, and the staff is very friendly and informative

Donna Kleckner: I spoke with Mathias at Braun & Helmer told him I was looking for a car in good condition and low miles. He called me back with information at the exact time he said he would.Although I wasn't able to get what I wanted; their over the phone service was exceptional.Mathias was courteous and very helpful and I would highly recommend Braun & Helmer Auction Service.

Scott Powers: Braun and Helmer auctions are by far the best auction service in the state. They go above and beyond to make sure the buyers and sellers are very well taken care of. I have been to many auctions across the state and Braun and Helmer are always well organized, friendly and just far better than all the rest!

Jebediah Houpt: Braun and Helmer is one of the best auction service in Michigan. They’re staff is professional, courteous, and thorough. David and Brian are extremely knowledgeable. They are well versed in many subject areas, whether it is collectible books to farm equipment, rare coins or sports memorabilia, they can do it all. Their support staff is very kind and professional as well, always willing to offer a helping hand to a client or buyer at the auction. They are easy to work with and down to earth. They do wonderful fundraising events as well and have helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for organizations that need an auctioneer for benefit auctions.As a customer at many of their auctions, I can tell you they are easy to work with, honest, humorous, and very good at their jobs. Rain or shine, David, Brian, and the crew will be there.Whether you are looking to go to an auction, or have an auction yourself, Braun and Helmer is the way to go.

Steve Mark: very bad service.

Jeff Gardner: Upon referral I called Schmidt's to get an estimate on the value on an antique table. The staff and Chuck the owner were extremely knowledgeable and courteous.

Rocco Siffredi: No way this clock ever worked. Maybe they have new management there but definitely NOT as represented by Shmidts. Oh yeah, 'clock may need adjustment after shipping.' I don't think so! My clock guy's talking about $400 in repairs to this lemon.Buyer beeware.

Jacob Fuller: Good stuff

Daryl Sparks: Schmidt's made me cry. My beloved went online to buy me a beautiful wall clock for our 41st Anniversary. We bid and won the clock I wanted and I was in heaven. We were happy to choose Schmidt's for this special anniversary gift. My husand received a winning notification and an invoice from Schmidt's. Then, the next day, we received an email asking us to 'release' the clock because there was a 'clerking error.' When my hubbie phoned Schmidt's, the owner laughed in my husband's face and said, 'I wouldn't want to be in your shoes to explain to your wife that the clock is gone.' Chuck Schmidt had given our clock to someone else and had the nerve to invoice us for it!!!! I feel this was dishonest and the way that Mr. Schmidt laughed at my husband - I heard the whole phone call - that was really AWFUL!!!!

Russel P: A disreputable SHAM of an auction house. I had won a clock by on-line auction, received a notification that I had won the clock and then an invoice for the amount I had bid. The next day, I received a surprise email request from Schmidt's that I 'release' the item because there was a 'clerking error' during the auction. I sent the owner, Chuck Schmidt, an email DECLINING to release the item because the clock was an anniversary gift for my spouse. However, Schmidt's had already handed over my won clock to another party and the clock was gone. What was the point to asking my PERMISSION to release the clock if it was already given to another party? Something really stinks about this operation and the way clocks are handed off DESPITE the results of the auction. I spoke with Chuck Schmidt personally and he laughed in my face, stating that 'the Auctioneer is always right.' He also laughed saying that he wouldn't want to be in my shoes to explain how I lost the anniversary gift to my sweetheart. When I bid for the clock, I had to electronically sign a form that I promised to pay the bid amount plus Schmidt's buyer's premium of 25% if I was successful in winning the clock. I won the clock but then Schmidt's reneged on selling the clock to me. Schmidt's has ZERO reputation and clearly does NOT stand by the results of its own auction rules.

ibrahim salem: great auction , service is fantastic !highly recommended !

Cedric L: I have a great experience with this auction house. I bid through liveauctioneer, from bidding approval to shipping were all very smooth and timely. The staff are super responsive to questions. When there is an issue with the items after the purchase, they are extremely responsive in resolving the issue. This is one of the best auction house in the country that I have dealt with. I would highly recommend this auction house.

Thomas F: I remember my Father taking my to auctions at Schmidt's 40 years ago and and I still enjoy getting out there. Nice family business and an asset to this area.

Peggy Pozzuto: High end antique shop. The facility is quite large and has a art museum on the property. Both were interesting to see. The items were expensive and although not for me, were quite beautiful.
