About Us
History
Baer Auctioneers was founded in 1947 by Emmet Baer who graduated the same year from Reppert’s School of Auctioneering in Decatur Indiana. Jim Baer joined his father with the business after graduating from Reppert’s in 1961. Brothers Ken, Bill and Wade Baer, all graduating from Repperts in 1983, 1989 and 2002 respectively are the third generation taking the business into the future.
Baer Auctioneers has conducted several thousand auctions over the years including but not limited to: Real Estate, Farm & Heavy Machinery, Antiques, Firearms, Estates and Business Liquidations. They are active members of their community often volunteering their time to different organizations in need of an auctioneer for fund raising. They look forward to supporting the Junior Fair in Columbiana and Mahoning Counties by selling the livestock at the county fairs on a yearly basis.
The Baer’s are owner/managers of the Rogers Community Auction, Inc. and are members of the Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia Auctioneer Associations as well as the National Auctioneers Association and Local, State and National Association of Realtors.
