About
RSO Auction and Estate Liquidation began in 2017. We are a family run, faith-based business striving to serve our clients and our community. My late husband, Robert, and I began an estate liquidation business in 2012 because we saw a need. After holding a living estate sale for my mother when she lost her home due to health issues, I realized how difficult that process was. I experienced her stress with what she needed to do with a lifetime of furniture, collectibles, and memories. We decided that we wanted to help people going through similar situations ease their stress and anxiety in this process. We found that auctions generally garnered more money than traditional estate sales so we took peoples' estates to several local auctions to sell their estates. We served many clients for five years before deciding to become auctioneers ourselves. Owning an auction house allowed us to auction our clients' estates at our own company, therefore eliminating fees paid to other auction houses.
Sadly, in January 2019, Robert had a massive heart attack and I had to continue the business on my own. With help from friends, I was able to keep the auction running. After more than two years, I met a wonderful man, Fred Gaunce, who had also lost his spouse to a debilitating eight year illness. We found that we both had a heart for antiques and helping others so we have joined forces to continue the dream of this auction house together.
