Neurosurgeon, Commander, Lawyer, Engineer

We handle the liquidation of over 100 estates a year here in the Denver and Colorado Front Range Area. Most of the items from these estates end up being sold at Public Auction, either onsite or at our Eaton Auction Center in Downtown Eaton, Colorado. Some of the estates we handle are more memorable than others. We have recently been hired to liquidate an estate I am sure we will all remember for some time.


Long time Denver resident Dr. Lawrence M. Robertson passed away unexpectedly recently. The Personal Representative of his estate hired us to liquidate all his personal property on VERY SHORT NOTICE! Dr. Robertson was well known in Denver, Colorado and the surrounding states. Not only was he a Neurosurgeon but he was also a US Navy Commander, Electrical Engineer and Law School Graduate. In his spare time he loved building model aircraft and adding to his huge model railroading collection. I never was fortunate enough to meet Dr. Robertson but I am sure he was a very interesting man. We learn about people as we sort through their personal belongings in preparation for an estate sale or auction.


Dr. Robertson’s Estate includes some wonderful merchandise. There are some great old family antiques including an original Maria pot, Kachina dolls, a rare 1860 US Calvary Civil War sword with the original belt & brass eagle belt buckle, antique furniture, artwork, new and like new tools, antique medical instruments, over 100 model airplanes, over 1000 scale model train items, medical, law and other books, laboratory items and tons more. Visit www.whitleyauction.com to see the complete details and all the items in this auction. Check out some of these items in the slide show below.



Dr. Robertson’s office was located at 1635 Gilpin in the Capital Hill area of Denver. Due to an extreme lack of parking, we will be selling all of his possessions at an internet only auction. This is just like a live auction except there is no auctioneer and all the bidding takes place over the internet. The auction items will all be posted online so anyone can view the items and place his or her best bids. At 1:10 PM on Saturday, September 27, 2008 the auction will start to close with lot number one. Each successive item will close every thirty seconds until all the items are sold.


If you have bid on eBay before then you will have no problem bidding here. We even make it easier to make sure you win. There is an auto-extend feature that extends the closing time on any item that receives a bid in the last five minutes of the bidding. This feature keeps extending the item’s ending time until no more bids are received. This helps to prevent last second sniping. Many times more than 50% of the bids come in during this extended bidding time. Of course, you can always just leave your best bid beforehand and not watch the closing. Learn about this auction at our auction website, www.whitleyauction.com.


Make sure and check out all of Dr. Robertson’s items. It is interesting what you can learn about a person from the possessions they had. If you are handling an estate or downsizing, feel free to contact us for free advice. Most people only handle one estate in their life. We have handled thousands and can surely help you with what seems to be an overwhelming task.

Happy Auctioning!

David

DAVID P. WHITLEY JOINS COLLEAGUES IN WASHINGTON DC FOR AUCTION ACTION ON CAPITOL HILL DAY

Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers Inc. Auctioneer David P. Whitley CAI CES recently joined fellow members of the National Auctioneers Association (NAA) in Washington, DC for the association’s annual Auction Action on Capitol Hill Day. This annual event brings industry leaders from across the nation to meet with members of Congress to educate them about the quarter-trillion dollar live-auction industry and discuss issues of concern to professional auctioneers.

Participants this year educated members of Congress about the current foreclosure crisis and the current system for disposing of foreclosed home. Contrary to popular belief, professional auctioneers do not manage the sales of foreclosed home at public auction and the reality is that the majority of foreclosure auctions fail, costing distressed homeowners their homes and equity, as well as costing the American taxpayer billions of dollars.

Whitley is a member of the National Auctioneers Association and the Colorado Auctioneers Association. He is the President and CEO of Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers Inc. and has been an active member in the auction industry for 23 years.

“I was honored to join my fellow auctioneers in Washington DC to discuss with members of Congress the foreclosure crisis impacting our country and educate them about the current system which is flawed, “ said Whitley. “ There is a better solution available for homeowners and America’s taxpayers when selling federally insured homes at foreclosure auctions and I am excited to be part of the discussion and potential solution.”

Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers Inc. and its sister company Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers Realty LLC provide quality auction and auctioneering services to the Rocky Mountain Region. Through its staff, they service Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska clients that desire professional auction services and sales for real estate and personal property. RMEB conducts many auctions at its 20,000 square foot Eaton Auction Center centrally located in downtown Eaton, Colorado.

Whitley, Catherine "Casey" L Giddings and Robert L. "Bob" Johnson are all graduates of the Certified Auctioneers Institute and maintain the prestigious CAI designation.

RMEB Auctioneers and staff attend National Auctioneers Association Conference and Show in Nashville Tennessee.

Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers Inc. Auctioneers and staff recently attended the National Auctioneers Association Conference and Show in Nashville Tennessee. While there, they attended educational offerings on live online auctions, promoting and marketing real estate auctions, ring man skills, employing innovative marketing techniques and more. Auction industry leaders taught these classes. RMEB Auctioneer Casey Giddings CAI, from Fort Collins, Colorado stated, “This is the one place professional auctioneers can come to not only learn about new auction techniques but to share what works for us as well”.

David P. Whitley CAI CES, RMEB’s lead Auctioneer, was one of five auctioneers chosen to sit on a panel discussing ways to start and build a successful auction business. He said, “Our auction company has been attending state and national auction association events for years. We have learned from some of the best in the business. When we have the opportunity to share what works for us with newer members of this profession we consider it an honor and a privilege.” Over 1400 NAA members and their families attended the convention.

Both Giddings and Whitley competed in the International Auctioneer Contest. Contest chairman Paul Behr CAI stated, “This group of contestants makes up some of the best auctioneers in the world”. While neither came home with the Champion’s trophy, both did very well in the competition. Giddings said, “Auctioneering in this contest is a very good way for me to continually work on being a better auctioneer. It would be nice to win but it is nicer to know I am always becoming better at what I do.”

RMEB CEO David Whitley attends NAA long range planning meeting in Spokane, WA.

Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers Inc. lead auctioneer and CEO David P. Whitley CAI CES recently attended a special long range planning meeting for the National Auctioneers Association held in Spokane, Washington June 3-5, 2008. Incoming NAA president Randy Wells chose twenty auctioneers from across the United States to work with him to develop a long-term plan for the continued success of the NAA. He employed a professional facilitator to help the group arrive at twenty long-term goals the association should strive to attain in the coming years.

Whitley said, “I was honored to be asked to be a member of this group. The auction business has been affected by many changes the last few years.” The twenty members of the group represented some of the world’s largest, most successful auction companies. “I may have been the member from the smallest auction company. I was pretty impressed to be sitting in a room with a vice-president from Ritchie Brothers. Even though there were many powerful auctioneers there, I really felt like my opinion mattered,” Whitley added. He stated, “We spent three long days talking about ways the NAA can better serve its members. I believe that any organization that serves its members well will increase its membership in the long run.”

Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers Inc. and its auctioneers are members of the National Auctioneers Association, The Colorado Auctioneers Association and the Wyoming Auctioneers Association. Three of RMEB’s auctioneers hold the prestigious Certified Auctioneers Institute CAI designation. Whitley said, “Successful auction are our business. We know that our membership in professional organizations keeps us on the leading edge of the auction profession. We are always looking for better ways to serve the needs of our auction clients.” He added, “Things like this long range planning meeting are an invaluable networking tool for us. Meeting these other auctioneers and becoming their friends gives RMEB a nation-wide network of expertise to draw from.”

Whitley and Johnson attend Accredited Auctioneer of Real Estate in our nation’s capitol.

David P. Whitley CAI CES Auctioneer and CEO of Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers Inc. and Bob Johnson CAI broker for Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers Realty LLC recently attended the National Auctioneers Association’s six-day Accredited Auctioneer of Real Estate course held in Gaithersburg, Maryland. “AARE was an intense six days of learning and sharing,” Whitley said after returning to Colorado. “Class lectures were a small part of this designation program. We spent a lot of time working on group projects and discussing how different auction companies do things. AARE brings together auctioneers who are serious about selling real estate at auction. Bob and I learned several things we will put to work for our clients immediately,” he added.

The National Auctioneers Association states, an auctioneer with the AARE designation has gone the 'extra mile' to ensure they offer the highest level of professionalism and the most up-to-date information when it comes to selling properties. Whether selling residential, agricultural, commercial or industrial properties, AARE auctioneers have enhanced knowledge in all pertinent areas, such as:

  • Marketing techniques
  • Financial/investment calculations
  • Evaluating cash flow
  • Holding-period analysis
  • Tax consequences of buying and selling properties
  • Multi-parcel real estate auctions

RMEB staff attends 2008 Colorado Auctioneer's Association Convention.

Three members of the Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers Inc. team recently attended the Colorado Auctioneers Association annual convention held in Denver, Colorado January 4-6 2008. David P. Whitley CAI CES, Casey Giddings CAI and Jaime Foote all enjoyed the education and camaraderie at the 50th anniversary meeting. They attend classes on bid calling, auction technology, marketing and more.

Casey Giddings competed in the 2008 CAA bid calling championship. She did an excellent job and everyone at RMEB was very proud of her. After the contest Giddings stated, "A contest like this is very intimidating for any auctioneer. Most people are nervous getting up in front of a small group of people to speak. Auctioneers do that every day. We learn to deal with our nerves a bit. Getting up in front of a room full of auctioneers adds an entirely new dimension to that nervousness. Even though I did not win the contest this year, I will be back. This makes me a better auctioneer."
