Our Clients Love Working With Us

At H.K. Keller, our happy customers say it best. Click here to see more reviews and  testimonials.

H.K. Keller handled the sale of our home and auctioned the contents. The project went very smoothly. Very professionally. We had already moved out of state, and everything was handled electronically. We received a very comprehensive list of every item that was auctioned along with the price. I cannot say enough about the job that Tim Keller and his team did for us. I highly recommend them.

Fritz Stoner

Mike and his team at H.K. Keller did an amazing job handling my grandfather’s real estate and personal auctions. I am so grateful for the guidance, advice, organization, and diligence to have a very smooth and successful process. I could not have been more impressed with the outcome. They were very caring and respectful of all items and went above and beyond to take care of everything along the way. I highly recommend them, and look forward to using them again in the future.

Christine Mark

Tim was very professional, knowledgeable, amicable, and always available for even the most inane questions and to calm down an anxious seller. Due to his efforts, we received numerous offers before finally accepting one. I would utilize his services again in a heartbeat and have recommended him to several friends and relatives. His “auction” team did a great job separating and cataloging all the items we left behind. This removed a great deal of stress I didn’t need at my age.
