Michael has provided prompt and valuable services in asset valuation and liquidation. His valuations even satisfied the Internal Revenue Service in an otherwise difficult federal estate tax audit. Our firm will be seeking his services in all future cases.

Tom Baxter, Esq.
Attorney, Baxter & Borowicz

You did an outstanding job getting everything organized, sold, and picked up from our agency. It’s nice to have our evidence bay back after over a year, and the victim has at least partial restitution.

Mark Chaney
Police Chief, Retired, New Albany Police Department

The Connell family would like to say a big Thank You for everyone that came to the auction. We had a big crowd! Family, friends, customers and some that just go to auctions. Plus an extra big Thank You to Auctioneer Michael Hoffman and his crew for doing the auction for us.

The Connell Hardware Family

Michael sold our house in 9 days at full price and held the personal property auction 2 weeks later. We had everything done within 45 days!

Bob & Ruth Huddle

My Mother had to relocate suddenly and there wasn’t much time to go through her things. I live in Florida, so Michael organized everything for the auction and handled the sale of the house for me. Michael was a lifesaver.

Carol Williams

In three out of five real estate auctions, Michael sold properties for bids higher than the mortgage companies in court-ordered sales. Michael Hoffman is the only appraiser and auctioneer I work with.
