To Whom It May Concern

Today we realized a dream that we have had for more than a year.  We attended the closing for the sale of our home.  The solution to selling ended up being so easy and so fast that we can’t believe we didn’t try it earlier.  We spent over a year trying to sell our home through the traditional route of using a realtor and then as a “for sale by owner”.  Robert Mayo did what no one else could do for us in approximately one month.  

We became frustrated with the traditional approach to selling as we spent countless hours making the house look perfect for “no show” appointments or for lookers who weren’t serious about finding a home.  It’s no easy task to clean up a 3200 square foot home with 15 minutes warning when you have two small children at home.  

We interviewed several auction companies and then chose Mayo Auction & Realty based on Robert Mayo’s targeted approach to marketing our property.  We felt that the other companies used the same marketing approach for every property.  Robert really put great thought into how to best communicate with potential buyers and how to find those buyers.  The results came through on auction day when we received a non-contingent sales contract (another benefit of using the auction approach). 

Robert Mayo and his staff are sincere about wanting to help people.  They helped us realize our dream through their targeted marketing plan, their hard work, and their sincere and honest approach in dealing with us and all potential buyers of our property.  We would highly recommend Mayo Auction & Realty for those considering selling a home and/or personal property.

To Whom It May Concern:

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dave Kingore and I am the former General Manager of Play Central Station in Overland Park, Kansas. This letter is in reference to our experiences with Robert Mayo, the Auctioneer that handled our Liquidation Auction.

To give you some background, Play Central Station went out of business and we needed to liquidate the assets of the business. I obtained a quote from a company to buyout the entire inventory, which came in at $36,000. After further review, we felt our equipment should take more than that. We decided to pursue having an auction, as we felt we should be able to get between $75,000 and $100,000 for our equipment.

I interviewed approximately 6 auctioneers, and after reviewing their proposals selected Robert Mayo and his company. We felt that the marketing they were prepared to do would make the difference in getting the qualified buyers we needed to get a better price. We were pleasantly surprised.

When it was all said and done, the total gross for our auction came in at $152,000, well above our best hopes! Needless to say, we were thrilled with the results.

I simply cannot express how happy we were with the entire process. Robert Mayo and his staff showed themselves to be professional, reliable and courteous throughout the process. Robert was always just a phone call away whenever I needed to ask a question, and always showed he and his staff where ready to go the extra mile to make our event a success. Again, I cannot recommend them highly enough.

We feel like we solidified a relationship and didn’t just have an auction.

Thank you again for making a difference.

Dear Mr. Mayo:

I am writing to comment on the exceptional range of services that you have provided our non-profit organization.  For the past two years, our group has valued your input from pre-function consultation to the wrap up advice that goes a long way toward improving the next year’s event.  Most importantly, our results from the auction process itself have certainly proven to us that this is an investment worth making.

The recommendations that you offered before the event resulted in additional ways to raise money during the gala and brought in an additional $3500.  The Champagne Sparkle and the Heads or Tails game also made the evening more fun for our guests.  Our live auction items were placed in your recommended order and subsequently maintained a momentum that, again, resulted in more dollars for the organization.  I had several guests comment that your team was very personable during the live auction.  I heard from guests that a personal thank you was extended by your ring men after the final sale of each auction item.  Finally, the troubleshooting and ideas that you shared the week after the event will change, and improve, the way we go about certain activities for next year’s fundraiser.

Thank you for the time, attention, and service that you have provided.  Hearing positive comments, no complaints, from our guests makes us feel that you and your team function as an extension of our group.  We feel it is very important for donors to receive a personal thank you and handshake.  With your team working the live auction, they did.  We look forward to working with you again in 2007.

Sincerely,

Kristy Lowe, PT
