Company Information

JP Auction Service is the fulfillment of a childhood dream for John Petroelje. An agricultural up-bringing provided the basis for John's strong work ethic but it also exposed him to the country auction as a boy. For him an auction was a special time with his dad, maybe a snack from the food table, and a chance to listen to the auctioneer's fascinating chant. These special times ignited a desire in him to be an auctioneer.
Positive fuel was added to that flame of desire when he attended Reppert School of Auctioneering in December of 1982, to learn the business side of the auction industry. He needed little schooling in developing his chant for he had spent many hours "selling" hay bales as they came out of the baler, while helping his dad bale hay.

John booked his first auction the spring of 1983 and since then the company has grown from a part time hobby into a full time occupation. Over the years the company has expanded their expertise to include the sale of real estate and appraisal work. The growth of the company is due to the integrity, honesty and hard work of all involved along with the many satisfied clients that have promoted JP Auction Service over the years.
