WE GET THE JOB DONE!
Owned and operated by Mark and Linda Hamel, HEARTLAND PARTNERS REALTY & AUCTIONEERS is a Real Estate and Auction company selling Real Estate and conducting auctions of property primarily in Nebraska and Kansas. Specializing in marketing agricultural, recreational, residential and commercial properties, HEARTLAND PARTNERS REALTY & AUCTIONEERS continually strives to maintain the reputation they have earned as one of the most progressive and credible Real Estate and Auction firms in the area. This reputation for "getting the job done" combined with honesty, integrity and good public opinion form the foundation on which HEARTLAND PARTNERS REALTY & AUCTIONEERS is built. These credentials and this image combined with an aggressive, proven marketing plan as well as knowledge of the area, the buyers and the market can result in the maximum price attainable for your property. The Real Estate market is a constantly moving target and comprehensive marketing and cutting-edge technological capabilities combined with top-notch personnel make the evolving challenges manageable.
Personal Property Auctions have many moving parts and require extra people to efficiently conduct the Auction. The two primary team members that are relied on for these Auctions are Lana Demuth and John Howsden. Lana assists Linda with the buyer registration and clerking duties. John is a field rep, ringman and auctioneer as well as an expert on machinery and equipment. Both are seasoned auction veterans. Mark is also an area Rep with the Nebraska Rod & Custom Association. He is certified with the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles for the inspection of vehicles ranging from the 1920’s to 1980’s through the NRCA. HEARTLAND PARTNERS has conducted online auctions for the liquidation of numerous collector vehicles for estates and individuals.
Literally growing up in the business has resulted in valuable relationships that have formed over time. The HEARTLAND PARTNERS team has counseled and consulted individuals, partnerships, businesses, corporations, financial institutions and government municipalities regarding the liquidation of valuable assets. Depending on the client's individual circumstances as well as the time frame in which the process needs to be completed, the Firm and Time Defined Sale of Assets via the Auction Method is often the way to achieve the desired results in a specified period of time. The competitive bidding process created by the Auction produces the maximum amount the market will pay for the Assets offered. A comprehensive advertising campaign is formulated and implemented to market the client's assets. The Auction is conducted, the buyer identified, the contract is completed and Closing is scheduled for 15 to 20 days following the Auction. Both buyer and seller appreciate the efficiency and transparency of the Auction process. It's what we do and it works.
This commitment to excellence through continuing education, progressive marketing strategies and expert personnel has made HEARTLAND PARTNERS REALTY & AUCTIONEERS one of the longest-running auction companies in the central United States today. This is how “We Get the Job Done!”
