More than 50 years have gone by since
the Hodgins family conducted their first
auction. Since then, (6000 auctions
later) we have learned a lot about
marketing agricultural assets, and we've
assembled a great team of people to do
it. When you have agricultural assets to
sell count on our experience and
teamwork for superior results.
For each auction a team of marketing specialists designs a
powerful marketing campaign to make certain the largest
number of potential buyers are drawn to your auction.
- Full detail internet listing
- High impact direct mail brochures
- Attractive display and classified ads in an array of
newspapers

No one sets up an auction better than Hodgins.

Our auctioneers and
ring persons are
world class! True
experts at coaxing
the last bid from
buyers, you can be

left on the table!

Most sellers engage us on a commission basis, that is a
fixed percentage of total gross auction sales. Other options
available include a financial guarantee where you receive a
guaranteed minimum amount with participation in the
proceeds over the guaranteed amount, or on outright
purchase for cash.
You can be certain that whichever option you choose the
agreement will be straight forward, clear and businesslike.
No fine print clauses, no surprises. It is our promise to you.
Hodgins has positioned themselves to be a leader in the
online auction of agricultural assets. Your items can be
presented in an E-Bay type auction, with a custom
designed advertising program to ensure maximum bidder
participation. An added feature to our technology is the
soft closing which extends bidding for additional time if
bids are placed in the last 30 seconds.
And we have some of the best event planners in the
business. Strict attention to detail leaves nothing forgotten.
- Customer services facilities - i.e lunch, washrooms
- Parking areas with signage, banners, attendants

Our streamlined computerized auction system provides
highly efficient buyer registration and billing procedures.
For our sellers this means accurate and timely auction
reporting. Within 30 minutes following the auction, full
reports are ready for your review and following the auction,
most seller payout's are processed within ten banking days.
