How long has Bob Lasswell been an auctioneer? Bob Lasswell has been in the auction business since 1977, nearly 50 years. Today he is the auctioneer for Venture Group Auction in Neosho, Missouri. That experience is the backbone of every Venture Group Auction sale across Southwest Missouri and the four-state area. What does nearly 50 years of auctioneering look like? It looks like barns, pastures, shops, front yards, and community halls. It looks like farm sales where the whole neighborhood shows up, estate sales where families say goodbye to a homeplace, and benefit auctions where a crowd digs deep for a good cause. In that time, a lot has changed. Advertising has moved online, and buyers now find sales on their phones. What hasn't changed is what makes a good auction work: a well-planned sale, a crowd of serious buyers, and an auctioneer who knows how to read the room. That's what Bob Lasswell brings to every Venture Group Auction. Why does auctioneer experience matter to sellers? Experience shows up in the final numbers. An experienced auctioneer knows how to: • Set the order of the sale so buyers stay through the big items • Read the crowd and know when to push and when to let bidding settle • Keep the pace right so the sale moves without rushing buyers • Spot and handle problems before they slow the sale down • Earn buyers' trust, which keeps them coming back to future sales When you're selling a farm, an estate, or land in Newton County, those skills matter. Bob Lasswell has spent nearly five decades sharpening them. Why Bob Lasswell works with Venture Group Auction Today, Bob Lasswell calls auctions with Venture Group Auction.

Who handles farm auctions in Southwest Missouri? Venture Group Auction handles farm auctions across Southwest Missouri and the four-state area, with auctioneer Bob Lasswell on the block. Bob has been calling auctions since 1977. Farm sales are one of the most common auctions he calls, from a few pieces of equipment to a complete farm dispersal with land. What can you sell at a farm auction? A farm auction can include nearly everything a working farm or homestead has built up over the years: • Tractors, hay equipment, and implements • Livestock equipment: panels, gates, feeders, trailers, and chutes • Shop tools, welders, and hand tools • Trucks, ATVs, and utility vehicles • Hay, fencing supplies, and building materials • Farmland, pasture, acreage, and the farmhouse itself Selling it all at one well-advertised sale brings buyers from across Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. Competitive bidding lets the market set a fair price. Why sell a farm at auction instead of piece by piece? Selling piece by piece can drag on for months, with buyers calling at all hours and haggling over every item. A farm auction puts everything on one date. Serious buyers show up ready to bid, and the sale is done in a day. For many farm families, especially when retiring or settling an estate, that clear finish line is worth a lot. Bob Lasswell and the Venture Group Auction team handle the organizing, cataloging, advertising, and sale day so the family doesn't carry it alone. Can Venture Group Auction sell my farmland too? Yes. Venture Group Auction works alongside Venture Group Real Estate, so we can help you sell farmland, pasture, or acreage either at auction or with a traditional listing. If you're wondering what your farm or land is worth in Newton County, McDonald County, Jasper County, or anywhere in Southwest Missouri, we'll help you look at both options. Some farms sell best with the land and equipment together at one auction. Others do better with the equipment at auction and the land listed on the market. We'll give you an honest recommendation. What should I do before a farm auction? 1. Call early. Good farm sales are planned weeks or months ahead, especially in spring and fall. 2. Make a rough list of equipment, vehicles, and major items. 3. Gather paperwork: titles, serial numbers, and maintenance records help buyers bid with confidence. 4. Decide about the land before you set a date. 5. Leave the rest to us. Bob Lasswell and the Venture Group Auction team handle setup, advertising, and sale day.
