Chase and his team were awesome! They turned a potentially painful process into a pleasant one! Target Auction is a top-notch company, and they definitely go the extra mile for their customers.

Seller, Kiki Capps

Ono Island Homesites

Thank you, Target Auction Company, for successfully selling my homesites on Ono Island. The traditional method was not working, and I wanted a different approach. Your advertising strategy was well-prepared and immediately focused buyers on my property. You guys know how to reach buyers as evident by seeing the volume of interest from many states. Your communication and attention to detail were also refreshing and rare these days. I'm glad that I chose to call you and explore this option. I would happily recommend you to others.

Seller, Vanessa Smith

Waterfront Home

Engaging in detailed discussions with the Target team solidified our decision to entrust them with selling our home - a choice we're immensely pleased with. Their team exceeded their promises and their commitment to transparent communication was exemplary…an aspect sorely lacking in our previous experiences with realtors. Based on our gratifying experience, I wholeheartedly endorse Target Auction. Their professionalism, communication, and ability to deliver results make them a standout choice in the realm of property sales.

Seller, Dale Brehm

Luxury Home & Acreage

I was cared for from beginning to end with a successful sale and incredible communication. I was never in the dark about anything or left wondering "what if". I knew the best decisions were made because we made them together. Their professionalism is top-notch! I highly recommend Dewey Jacobs and his team at Target Auction.

Seller, Holly Langster

Lakefront Home

First, I would like to say how appreciative we were with the level of service received from your entire organization. From start to finish, all commitments you made were fulfilled. Second, we had never listed our home before, and after witnessing firsthand an auction you conducted, we knew this was the route we wanted to take. Your method of selling, with a definite date, no contingencies, and a 30-day close, allowed us to make plans and close this chapter of our lives.

You got us an outstanding price! Sheila and I could not be more pleased and would highly recommend your services. Thanks, and we wish you the very best.

Residential Home

Target Auction Company was our first choice when we decided it was time to sell and it proved to be the right decision. We realized 95% of a current appraisal and closed in 2 weeks! Our goal was to be proactive with the selling process and Target fulfilled that goal by reaching qualified buyers and having them compete for ownership. I was equally impressed by their entire team's attention to detail and professionalism. I would not hesitate to work with them again and recommend them to anyone looking to sell their real estate.

Seller, Sharon Wilson

Gulf Coast Home

I had the great pleasure of working with Jeff Hathorn at Target Auction Company for a Mississippi Gulf Coast property. He and his team were very professional and diligent with their process. I would absolutely recommend them and look forward to working with them again!

Closing Agent, Delta Goss

Luxury Estate

We absolutely made the right choice to use Target Auction as opposed to other sales methods. They managed every detail with competence and integrity. In every way, they exceeded our expectations. Their effective marketing resulted in nationwide bidders and most important, we received a stellar price!

Seller, Johnny Musso

Coastal Home

I had the pleasure of working with Jeff Hathorn on the purchase of my beautiful waterfront home. Despite several setbacks, all on my end, Jeff and his team worked tirelessly between myself and the sellers to make everything work. What could have definitely been a nightmare turned into a dream come true thanks to Jeff and Target Auction. Highly recommend! 

Buyer, Jo'El Welch

We would like to express our sincere appreciation for selling our custom golf course home in New Mexico. We highly recommend Target’s services to anyone who wants a date certain to sell their house.

Seller, Michael Henderson

583 Acres of Recreational/Development Land

I just wanted to say thank your team for a successful auction! You provided a unique and efficient way to sell my property, especially when traditional listings did not yield my desired result. The competitive and time-sensitive nature of auctions created a sense of urgency among potential buyers which led to a positive transaction. Having numerous registered bidders from different states is a clear indication that your marketing efforts attracted a diverse and competitive pool of prospective buyers. It shows the effectiveness of an auction in reaching a broad audience and generating interest beyond local boundaries. The auction was well-received and brought in many bidders creating a dynamic and engaging selling environment. Such a competitive bidding scenario produced a most favorable outcome for me as the increased competition drove up the final price.

Seller, Jeffrey Martin

Wedding and Event Venue

Turning a dream into reality! I had the opportunity to work with Chase Harris at Target Auction when my client purchased a wonderful wedding venue, Annabella at Cedar Glen. Chase is an expert in all phases of the process, and his communication was excellent every step of the way. His industry knowledge coupled with his positive disposition gave us great confidence as my client made this life-changing purchase. Sincere thanks to Chase and the Target team!

Buyer Agent, Lisa Zibas

Equestrian Property

The Target Auction model is a proven strategy that brought me the best outcome possible. The transparency and collaboration across the board made it the best experience I could have ever expected. I would recommend the Target Team without reservation to anyone.

Seller, Kate Redmon

Real Estate Portfolio

I recently had the opportunity to work with Target Auction & Land Co. on a multi-million-dollar real estate portfolio sale and couldn't have been more impressed. Jeff and his staff were organized, thorough and efficient. They made it a point to get out in front of potential problems and solved them without them becoming issues. As a real estate attorney, who has closed thousands of deals, I was truly impressed by the level of service they provided.

Rick and I would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for your efforts in selling our family farm. This was a very emotional decision for us as “Glendale Farms” has been in our family for decades, and we appreciate you making the process simple and easy. Your hard work generated an acceptable pre-auction offer which surpassed our reserve and expectations. We wish you well and continued success with future auctions and we would be happy to be a reference.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the work you put in. I just cannot explain how Chase went above and beyond for us even working after hours to get our wedding venue sold so we can retire! From the moment of our first meeting with Jeff and Chase who are both so easy to work with and extremely professional to the day of closing, they were always accessible whenever I had any questions. 

Seller, Annabella at Cedar Glen

Kent Rock Manor - Venue/ Luxury Estate

I would like to thank Target Auction Company for the sale of my luxury property, Kent Rock Manor. We had an extreme amount of interest from around the country including professional athletes and celebrities. Your tenacity and hard work paid off as you were able to secure an affluent buyer from the Midwest.  With this being such a unique property, it took the right buyer and I'm grateful that Target Auction was able to produce that buyer for me.

We wish you well and continued success in future auctions and would be happy to be a reference.

Seller, Joe Crump

Historic Bed & Breakfast

We want to take this opportunity to thank you for your assistance in selling our property Abingdon Manor, Inn & Restaurant. Your patience and persistence in dealing with our buyer made it possible for the transaction to move forward to successful completion. We were impressed with the comprehensive and thorough marketing plan you and your staff developed to advertise the sale of the property and it certainly generated a great deal of interest in the Inn. Communication with the entire team was never an issue. Your assistance has allowed us to realize our retirement dream, and we thank you for that.

Seller, Micheal Griffey

Waterfront Home & Lots

The Target team more than exceeded our expectations! My mother's waterfront home had been listed off and on for 20 years through traditional methods with little or no activity or potential buyers. Dewey and his colleagues put together a laser-focused plan, targeting buyers in multiple states from coast-to-coast, and even more buyers regionally. We were amazed at how much interest they generated in such a short time. In only 90 days, we went from signing an agreement with Target to selling this unique property for MORE than the original asking price WELL ABOVE market value! We could not be more impressed with the process, communication, follow-up, and professionalism.

Seller, Julia Malone

Seller, Beverley Connell

When looking for a great team to auction your property, Target Auction gets the job done! Jeff and his team explained the process from start to finish and communicated with us along the way, so we knew what to expect while selling 2 seperate properties. We closed in less than 90 days (from engaging Target) and recieved a great price on both. I highly recommend Target Auction to anyone looking for a quick sale at a market price.

1031 Exchange

We are a 1031 Exchange Intermediary and our client decided to sell their portfolio via Target Auction. We had the pleasure of working with Jeff Hathorn. At all times, he was proactive, professional, and consultative. This was critical since this was a 1031 exchange. His and his teams' efforts lead to a seamless and smooth closing and a happy client. Thank you!

1031 Exchange Intermediary - Drew Monaghan

Residential Homes

Target Auction performed just like they said they would. We worked together on a project to auction several of my client’s properties. My client was not a distressed seller, he simply wanted to sell a volume at one time and use the proceeds to do a 1031 Exchange. Everything sold and closed as scheduled! Target Auction is extremely professional and easy to work with. It was a win - win for everyone, and I highly recommend their services. I’ll be recommending them to more of my clients in the future!
