Our Vision & Values If you compare the quality of our services and staff with ANY other company, no one comes close. Integrity first!
Our vision and values is what makes Whiteford Asset Management & Auction Services so unique. Our vision is to serve people with integrity, providing them with the absolute best and highest quality of service by using the best and latest technology. This is why we have been able to serve businesses and people locally, nationally and even internationally.
Our company is unique and so is our goal. Our goal is to sell to tell. Our company was started to sell peoples' assets in order to tell more people and reach more people with the GOOD NEWS!!! There's plenty of bad news just about everywhere. So just what is the GOOD NEWS? Well Jeff, Becky and their management team have one focus and one goal. Their goal is to give the best possible service in order to share with everyone they come in contact with about the area that has impacted them the most, their personal relationship with God. The GOOD NEWS is not about religion, but, rather, a relationship with God's son, Jesus. We have found if we keep our focus vertical (on God) and serve people that all of our needs are met and our schedules are full. Been doing it this way for 30 years and we have found.....it WORKS! We are also unique in that we do little to no advertising, however we get new business all the time and almost 100% referral. We look forward to helping your company or family sell their assets.
