Counts Realty & Auction Group employs a complete support staff of auctioneers, realtors, field representatives, administrative personnel, auction sales force, auction ground men, clerks, appraisers, and cashiers. All staff positions are cross-trained so that the absence of any individual will not affect the success of a sale. 100% of the team’s effort is geared towards the complete success of each auction. Ted F. Counts founded the Counts Auction Company in 1963 as a general auctioneering firm that operated as a sister company to Counts Realty for eight years. Recognizing the growth potential and success of moving both real estate and personal property via the auction method, Ted combined these firms to create the Ted Counts Realty & Auction Co., Inc. In 1998, Bill Bryant took over the day-to-day operation of the growing company. As president, he has garnered several key new members to the sales and support team, multiplying the group’s capabilities and sales volume.
