February 2010:
I would like to thank you for the wonderful job you and your company handled the auction of my father's estate. I was overwhelmed going into such a task and after our first meeting I knew I could trust you to handle the huge job that was ahead. I never doubted my decision to hire you.
Your integrity and respect for the situation was outstanding. The work ethics of all involved amazed me and the fabulous results were just icing on the cake. I had a check for the personal property within an hour of the end of the auction! Your systems are impressive and I felt that everything was handled with very efficiently and accurately.
In this day and age when I get so frustrated with people that do not do their job, I can honestly say that you were always one step ahead of me whenever I wanted something done it was usually already taken care of. It took away the stress of the situation.
You can use me as a reference at anytime because it would be a small pay back for all you did.
Best Regards,
Ellen Sundstrom

Our family would like to thank you for helping to make the sale of our Father's household goods, beloved garden tractors and tools, mechanical tools and woodworking tools at auction a success, all of which were an accumulation of a lifetime of memories.
You were always available to answer any questions and eased our concerns that an auction was the right choice to make for our family. Our family wanted to be involved in the organization and setup of the items for auction and you gave us wonderful support and direction. All matters were handled with consideration, professionalism, efficiency and fun. Our thank you also extends to your whole staff and to Larry for his expert auctioneering. Best Regards

To Whom it May Concern:
When my wife and I decided it was time to part with some of our
collections, we considered several options. Thankfully, we settled on Hamele Auctions because of a past affiliation with their family. They turned out to be the kind of people you like to do business with. They are experienced, very professional, and use modern technology to reach out with advertising. Larry is a sharp auctioneer, intense, and moves the auction right along. Travis is an excellent business manager, as well as gifted in setting up the auction site. They have connections so they have access to a good building for and indoor auction. I have had two other auctions since I retired, but this went better than those because of management. Financially, I came out far better than I expected. Bidding was good, and Travis had a check in the mail to me two days after the auction. If I ever want to finish off some other collections, I will call Hamele Auctions with no reservations. They may not wear white hats, but they are the good guys. C.

Before 2007 is just a memory for all of us, I wanted to again say "Thank You" for the great job you did on my mom's auction (Grace Douma). We contacted you on rather short notice and you were right there to meet with our family to get the ball rolling. You patiently answered all our questions, calmed our fears, and helped us with the very difficult process of dividing up a lifetime of memories. The advertising was handled professionally, with a great turn out the day of the auction. You spent many hours with the set up and made sure everything was presented in the best possible condition. The auction was definitely a success with better than expected results which we attribute to your professional experience (and great personalities!). You guys were great to work with on all fronts. Speaking for my brother, sister, and myself, we left the homestead that day knowing that we had all done our best - with the help of Hamele Auction Service. We will definitely recommend you to anyone looking for an auctioneer. Ruth Lindert
Words cannot express how grateful we are for your professional service. The knowledge and skill you have in the auction business shows in the crowds you attract come auction day. You took a stressful time and made it your personal goal to make things run smooth. What an awesome way to sell a house and contents.

No matter how experienced a client may be with the auction process, you HAVE to use the Hamele Auction Service. When I was required to handle my late parents’ (Robert & Rose Murphey) 2007 estate and auction, I had no idea where to start. Without Larry, Travis, & Bob Hamele and their entire auction service staff to answer my multitude of questions, offer the guidance I needed, and take charge of the entire estate sale, I would have been lost. The Hamele Auction Service handled the entire situation and me, for that matter, with sensitivity, good humor that I desperately needed, and professionalism. I always appreciated Travis’ calming personality as he told me more than once, “Calm down, Paul, it will work out just fine!” He was right on all accounts. You must consider the one-stop shopping of services offered by Hamele Auction Service; you will not be disappointed. Thank you, Hamele Auction Service, for helping me cope and survive what could have been an even more difficult situation.
