Country Boys Auction & Realty, Inc
Since our very first auction in 1975, Country Boys Auction & Realty, Inc. (CBA) has been servicing the needs of our customers for nearly 50 years. We have continually strived to provide the most complete liquidation and valuation services for all types of real estate and personal property. As our world and industry has evolved, CBA has proudly been at the forefront of change to ensure the best services for our customers, both buyers and sellers.
CBA sells personal property and real estate primarily through the live auction process. We also utilize online auctions platforms, private sales, liquidation sales, and “for sale” listings to maximize asset potential. While many of our auctions are held at remote locations, our main facility in Washington, NC consists of a 30,000 square foot warehouse, auction, and office building with a large outdoor sale yard. We also maintain a secondary sale yard facility a few miles away with several acres of additional auction and storage space.
In addition to sales, CBA provides an extensive amount of confidential asset evaluations and valuations for individuals, companies, courts systems, and others. We also provide these services for lenders for pre-loan, refinancing, and asset liquidation purposes as well as for attorneys and Trustees in all types of legal matters.
