Easy fast and friendly service. Results were better than expected. Whether it’s an estate or moving or just turning stuff you don’t use anymore into money we highly recommend Chris and his crew

I just wanted to give a quick shout-out to Chris Workman at Workman’s Auction. I had a house load of stuff I needed to get rid of because we moved into a smaller place. I was going to have a yard sale but it was getting to be a bit overwhelming (ok, a lot overwhelming) and I was stressing out over the whole thing. Plus, I’ve never had very good luck with yard sales, especially with our house being so far out of town. I asked for recommendations for an auctioneer to handle everything and got Chris’s name. He came out, said he could help us and boy did he! After we got everything out of the house we wanted to keep, her and his team came and organized, took pictures and got everything posted online in a weekend. Y’all, we had hundreds of items! The auction ran for two weeks and we ended up getting more than triple what I thought we would! He hauled away what didn’t sell and my house is empty now! He talked me through a couple breakdowns (it’s hard seeing stuff you love but can’t keep only go for pennies on the dollar) and was very nice and respectful through it all. Y’all - check him out if you have a ton of stuff to sell!!

We did not know anything about auction and Chris and his crew made it so easy. It was a great experience and I recommend Workmans Auction. They were great!

We didn’t know anything about auctions but our mom specified she wanted us to contact Workmans Auctions for her estate sale. We contacted Chris and he put everything into motion. He and his team came in and organized everything. He kept up informed through the whole process and even set aside things he thought we needed to go through. They handled the sale and cleaned everything up when finished. He and his team did a wonderful job for us during a very difficult and overwhelming time. Our family highly recommends Workmans Auctions

Great experience with Workmans Auction! Chris, Jayme and his crew were kind, compassionate and extremely professional. He took what could have been a very stressful situation and made it fun and easy for my family. I highly recommend Workmans Auction and will definitely use their service again.

I am posting this review on behalf of my mom who does not have Facebook and my family. I am forever grateful to Chris for taking such good care of my mom during her darkest hours. Not just her, but all of us. In March2022, my husband, Bob, experienced a serious health issue and was hospitalized on and off for several weeks and never able to return to work. He began dialysis and I left my place of employment to care for him. We decided we should sell our large home where we had lived for almost 30 years and raised our family and move to a much smaller home near our children. We listed our house for sale and purchased a small home and between dialysis trips I was trying to obtain utilities at our new location, and attempting to begin the process of going through our home and figuring out what we would be able to keep and what we would not. Sadly, Bob passed away and everything was put on hold. After the funeral, it hit all of us that there were still a million things to be done and one of those things would be to get everything out of the house. Both of our sons had major surgery the week Bob passed away and would be physically unable to assist in any type of physical activity for several weeks. We were all overwhelmed and living in a fog. The never ending paperwork was taking a toll and I was mentally, physically, and emotionally near the brink of my endurance. That’s when I heard about estate sales and I found Chris Workman. He has been my knight in shining armor. Once I spoke with him over the phone and he explained the process to me I felt a huge burden lifted off my shoulders. He explained that the ONLY thing I needed to do would be to take care of myself- to move what I wanted and to leave the rest right where it was –that he would take care of everything! AND HE DID EXACTLY THAT! Once the sale commenced, he would provide occasional updates throughout the process, such as, there were people from Florida, California, and Utah bidding and that the online auction had over 77k views! The evening the sale was complete Chris called and told me the amount of the sale and I was flabbergasted! I never imagined that we would receive such an impressive amount or that he and his lovely wife would hand deliver the money to me. I now feel as if they are part of our family. Chris was compassionate, kind, and professional from beginning to end and I would recommend his services to anyone!

Chris went above and beyond to not only get the most he could for my daddy’s things but he also was very compassionate to the emotional side of things for me. He made several trips and insured me that everything would be taken care of and when I arrived everything in the house had sold he is amazing don’t question anything just hire him!!

Chris Workman is just that a hard working man. He is always professional and helpful. I didn't give him much time but he did an awesome job. I had to move and sell most everything. His team is very helpful in preparation for the sale. We you need an Auctioneer CHRIS Workman is the guy to call! Thank you for job well done.



Comments From Megan Casillas - May 7th, 2022

I met Chris after being recommended him by a few friends. I was needing to have some type of Estate Sale/Auction to empty the contents of my father in law's home in Jonesboro. After speaking to a few different people, it was clear that Chris was the person for the job. He explained to us how his process worked, and was in the home working (mind you, 2 1/2 hours away from our homes) in less than 5 days. Maybe a day or two later, the auction was live. Chris works fast and efficiently!! We were SO happy with the results, it was right on target with what we anticipated. Had we used anyone else, we would have been eaten alive on commission. Some people we spoke with before finding him wanted 50% commission on top of wanting to do a "half price" sale on day 3 of an estate sale. This was definitely the way to go. On top of all of that, when people came to get their items at the home, since it is so far away, he volunteered to bring back some items that my mother had won in the auction to save her the trip from Jonesboro. It was totally kind, and he did not have to do that. This was a long auction, three weeks to be exact. During this time, Chris stayed in constant communication with my husband and I. "Oh crap! I forgot to tell you DO NOT sell this" stuff like that...and was eager to help and quick to respond. I like that a lot in people that I do business with, and it is a dying breed to have someone meet and exceed my expectations. He did. I am so thankful we found him, and I'd gladly do business with him again and again. Thank you, Chris!

Chris helped our family during a very difficult time. After our father’s death he came to his home and reassured us that he would take care of us. We needed money to take care of funeral expenses and other bills that our family had unexpectedly been left with. Chris did everything. He sorted, cleaned, and organized the entire house. He assured us that he would take care of everything and he did just that! He communicated with our family daily about expectations and progress during our auction. He put our minds to rest so we could mourn our fathers death. I highly recommend Workmans Auction for your needs. He is very professional! He will take care of your family and will make sure all your needs are met. Thank you Chris!!!



Comments From Karen Stratton - September 15th, 2020

Karen Stratton
We had a very good day and a very good auction. Everything in the house sold, everything in the pole barn, shed, workshop. Thanks to Chris Workman and his team from Workman's Auctions, without a doubt best auctioneer in Arkansas! When Chris said he'd sell it all, leaving me with less than 2 % to dispose of, he meant it and kept to his word. Chris made it effortless; he was so well organized. The day went off without a hitch. Chris auctioned for 5 1/2 hours straight, no break. No way could I have done this alone and not even with the help of all of my cousins pitching in. This is the only way to go when you have to do an estate sale. We were totally hands off. Chris and his team did it all --- advertising, organizing, setting up, selling, a complete accounting for what was sold --- and at the most reasonable fee you'll find. I could not have been any more pleased. Forever grateful for your hard work and professionalism.

Sincerely,
Karen Stratton, Daughter/Executrix -- Stratton Estate Auction

Chris was the most supportive and honest person and businessman I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He told me what to expect and everything happened as planned. He conducted the auction most professionally and he honored my family in the process. A great company and person indeed!!



Comments From The Magnolia Consignment Auction - May 14, 2016

Stephen Harrington
A huge thank you to Chris Workman and the workmansauction.com team for their great organization and assistance. We were invited to supplement a relatives auction in Magnolia on May 14. Chris came to our home and quickly assessed what would sell well. He and his crew loaded those items and stored them in his warehouse in Magnolia, AR. Within 2 days, pictures were posted and the auction was listed. Every question was answered promptly and explained thoroughly. The auction was professional and moved very quickly. By 8pm, a text arrived with the amount of the sale and informing us a check would be forwarded 2 days later. A very pleasant experience. Well done, Chris!

My special thanks to Chris Workman and his excellent team for the wonderful job they did on the Madge Gray Estate auction. When I started out, I had a vague notion of what I needed. I was stressed and overwhelmed but Chris went far and beyond what I expected. Chris took care of everything and you will not find a better person to handle your auctions. The entire Workman Auction Group are friendly and honest and I would recommend them to everyone. Oh, by the way, the bbq furnished by Vince Road Hog Scherrey was excellent!

Comments From The M & M Stop N Shop Auction February 7, 2015

Just wanted to thank you for the very successful auction you held for me on February 7, 2015 for the M & M Stop N Shop fixtures, equipment, and remaining inventory at El Paso. The results well surpassed our expectations. Great crowd, great enthusiasm and effort on your part, and great preparation and effort prior to the auction by you obviously contributed to the success. Working with you during the process was very easy; and your expertise, knowledge, and professionalism was greatly appreciated. You obviously have a good client base and you can generate interest and attendance for an auction. I would not hesitate to use again if I am ever in need of another auction. Hope to see you at some of your future auctions (when I get my busy season over with). Feel free to have someone call me if they want to talk in person or have some specific questions about my experience with you.

Thanks a lot,

Donald Baltz, Receiver for the Settlement of M & M Stop N Shop Business



Comments From The Conners Estate Auction- November 22nd, 2014

Words can't express how awesome the experience I had with Workman's auction group was. I had no idea how to go about doing an estate auction. I met with Chris Workman and was very impressed with his knowledge, caring an reviews. I did not have a place to have the auction and Chris worked with me and rented a building for my sale.

Chris and his group treated my family and I with respect, professionalism and dignity. Chris went above and beyond to provide me with not only a great sale but with excellent results through extensive use of advertisement , social media and his professional contacts.

I don't think I could ever thank him enough for all he has done for my family and me. Chris's mother, Betty McLeod, also worked so hard for me she is amazing. I would highly recommend Workman's auction group to anyone who needs or wants to have an auction.
Sincerely,

Candy Conners



Comments From The Phillips Estate Auction- September 27th, 2014

As a novice to the estate auction experience, I was unsure of the process and how the organizing and execution of the sale would be handled. Chris Workman and the team at Workman's Auction were true professionals.

The entire contents of a 2100 square foot home and a detached 24X32 workshop were meticulously catalogued and readied for sale. Weeks prior to the auction, Chris called & texted, keeping me informed on the progress. Moreover, five weeks before the actual auction date, pictures of the sale items were displayed on his website, encouraging buyers to attend.

The day of the sale was a testament to this planning. A consummate professional, Chris and his colleagues were on site two hours before the auction opened to the general public, making sure precisely at 10 am, the sale would begin. Five hours later, the sale was over. Two hours after the sale, Chris called to report a preliminary total. Needless to say, our auction was a success.

This success isn't accidental. Chris Workman's planning and execution are exemplary. He demonstrates professionalism with his clients, and yet, the entire process was like working with an old friend. In my opinion, there isn't anything better.

I recommend Chris and his team without reservation. If you looking for a hard-working, kind, diligent professional to handle your estate sale, you have found it at Workman's Auctions.
