Auction, Appraisal and Retailing Course


Thank you for showing an interest in joining/upgrading yourself in this exciting profession. This unique course has been designed to give an in depth, hands on study of the Auction, Appraisal and Retail Business.

Whether you are just beginning or have years of experience, this course is for YOU. As you complete the course you will acquire the knowledge it has taken the presenters over forty years to learn. The course is offered in convenient home study units that allow you to progress at your own rate with no time constraints.

Your income in this profession, (unlike many others), will be directly proportional to the time and effort you are willing to put forth.

Ongoing education, flexibility and a constant striving for knowledge go hand in with you developing your successful business. For success your business must change with the market but more importantly, you must always be aware of your CLIENTS needs, wants and concerns. Remember "Service is your only Business". The money will look after itself!

We are looking forward to this opportunity to introduce you to the wonderful world of auctioneering, appraising and retailing. I truly believe the auction method of marketing is the best way to achieve the highest possible prices in the shortest time possible. As you may be aware "The Auction Method" is used to sell the World's most expensive items.

Once candidates have shown successful completion of the course they will receive their C.C.A.A. (Certified Canadian Auctioneer and Appraiser) designation. This course is open to working auctioneers and candidates with a minimum Grade 12 Diploma.

Refresher and advanced courses will be offered to graduates on an annual basis.

About Niagara Auctions


In 1967 Doug Embleton Auctions Inc. began in Ridgeway Ontario, under the registered name of D&L Antiques. By 1991 the business had developed from a small retail outlet on River Rd. in Niagara Falls to a multi-faceted service related antique, appraisal and auction business incorporated under "Doug Embleton Auctions Inc.".

The company is family owned and operated. Each sale is treated as though it was their own. The majority of the staff has been employed since the businesses inception and has been trained in all aspects of the business.

Services

Doug Embleton Auctions Inc. offers clients full estate service. We confer with our clients explaining the several options to disperse or sell their goods.

A/ Tag Sale: The goods are tagged and offered for sale. As the sale progresses the prices are systematically lowered until everything is sold.

B/ Auction Sale: All items are sorted and sold by public auction either on site or at an auction hall. On site sales generally net more money than sales in halls.

C/ Retail: Specific, important, items may be sold through our retail outlet if the client wishes. Our store is located at 69 main st. Lions Head On N0H 1W0.

D/ Real Estate: We have been Niagara's leading Real Estate Auctioneer since "1970". We charge the vendor 0% commission on real estate sales.

E/ Appraisals: A complete chattel and real estate service is available.

F/ Internet: Live Internet coverage is now available for appropriate auctions.
