Help with creating an event that has several auction components is a specialty of BTAUSA. Spending time to understand the goals and objectives of an auction and helping clients to enhance their ability to grow attendance, attract qualified buyers and deliver events that make people want to attend regularly is the key to our client’s success.
​
Our vision is to help sellers and buyers find success in a fun way, where everyone feels the emotions of being at a great event and going home with auction purchases that are meaningful to those people and their families.
​
We are entrusted with making sure our sellers are getting top value for their items. Making sure the process is efficient at a reasonable cost is important as we assist sellers to find the right buyers and get the money for those sales quickly if not, the day of the auction.
