How To Consign

How to Consign Property With Brad Olson Auctions

Consigning does not begin with paperwork or a perfect inventory. It begins with a direct conversation about what you have, where it is located, who has authority to sell it and when you hope to make a decision.

The First Step

You do not need to prepare the auction before you call us.

A few representative photographs and basic information are usually enough to decide whether an auction deserves a closer look.

We Review the Fit
