The Company

Return To Home               View Recent Auctions  

Our company was established in 1969 on the basis that there was a need for an auction company that utilized only top professionals in whatever situation we were involved with and to give 100% effort to our client. Chuck Layne has adhered to this basic principle and has established a company that renders total commitment. 

               We are proud of the growth we have had over the past 30 years. This growth came about because of hard work and the trust our customers have placed in us. 

               Since day one, our philosophy has been that “You are no better than your last sale.” This philosophy has kept us working just as hard today as we did in 1969. 

               Whether you’re in construction, agri-business, a real estate investor, or any other type of business, you must have the knowledge, the foresight, and the courage to change with the times. Change is the leader in your industry. That is why Layne Auction is recognized as the leader, the innovator, and the fastest growing auction firm in the area. 

               Layne Auction, Inc. and certain personnel are members of the

§        Certified Auctioneers Institute

§        National Auctioneers Association

Auction Services

As in any business, the auction business has its share of dinosaurs, companies that are still using methods that worked 10 or 20 years ago. But just like the American automobile companies, or the steelmakers, or your own business, you can’t make poor quality products, or sell overpriced goods, or bid jobs with outdated material prices. There’s always someone with new ideas, an ability to change and grow with the times. That’s Layne Auction. 

If you’re talking about an auction, talk to us about full-color brochures, a professional photographer, a current computerized mailing list, a knowledgeable, honest appraisal,
and a fast, computerized, settlement after the auction. 

               Ask us why we use as many as 5 auctioneers and 10 ringmen during some auctions. Why we have a staff of over 35 full and part-time professionals that can handle every detail of an auction from beginning to end. 

               Most people in our industry marvel at our phenomenal growth over the last ten years, especially since most auction companies have leveled off in recent years. Layne Auction continues to grow. 

               When you’re through asking all these questions, ask yourself just one more . . .

How can Layne Auction grow so fast in the middle of all the established, old, respected auction companies in the nation? The answer is simple . . . we perform! We utilize only the most modern and forward approaches to the auction method.
