Can I sell land at auction in Newton County? Yes. Venture Group Auction sells land and acreage at auction across Newton County and Southwest Missouri, with Bob Lasswell as auctioneer. Pasture, hayfields, timber, hunting ground, and buildable acreage can all sell well at auction, especially when there is steady buyer demand and the seller wants a firm sale date. What kinds of land sell well at auction? • Pasture and hay ground with fencing, water, or road frontage • Hunting and recreational land with timber, creeks, or ponds • Small acreage tracts for buyers looking to build in the country • Farms where the land and equipment sell on the same day • Inherited land where heirs want a fair, public process Should land be sold as one piece or in tracts? Sometimes a property brings more when it's divided into smaller tracts, because more buyers can afford to bid. Other times, the whole property brings the most as one piece. Some land auctions offer both, letting bidders bid on individual tracts or the whole property. Bob Lasswell and the Venture Group team will talk through what fits your land. What do land buyers want to know? The more information buyers have, the more confidently they bid. Before a land auction, it helps to gather: • Acreage and a survey, if one exists • Road access and frontage • Water sources: ponds, creeks, wells, or rural water • Fencing and outbuildings • Utilities available nearby • Any easements or restrictions Auction or listing for my land? Venture Group Auction works alongside Venture Group Real Estate, so you can compare both. If you're asking "what is my land worth in Newton County?" we'll look at recent land sales and talk honestly about whether an auction with Bob or a traditional listing will serve you best.

How do I get the best price for farm equipment at auction? Clean it up, make sure it runs, gather the paperwork, and give buyers time to see it before sale day. Those four steps make the biggest difference. Bob Lasswell, auctioneer for Venture Group Auction, has been calling farm auctions across Southwest Missouri since 1977, and well-prepared equipment brings stronger bids nearly every time. 1. Clean it up A quick wash goes a long way. Buyers judge equipment by how it looks, and a clean tractor tells them it was cared for. Pressure-wash the mud and grease, sweep out cabs, and clear brush and debris from around stored implements. 2. Make sure it runs If a tractor, truck, or mower runs, make sure it starts on sale day. Charge the batteries, check the fluids, and add fuel. Buyers bid more confidently when they can hear an engine run and watch the hydraulics work. 3. Gather the paperwork Paperwork answers buyers' questions before they ask: • Titles for trucks, trailers, and titled vehicles • Serial numbers and model years • Hour meter readings • Maintenance and repair records • Manuals, if you still have them 4. Be honest about condition If something leaks, needs work, or doesn't run, say so. Honest descriptions build trust, and trust keeps buyers bidding. Buyers who feel surprised on sale day tend to hold back. 5. Group the small stuff Tools, parts, and small items sell better when they're organized into sensible lots. The Venture Group Auction team helps sort and lot items so the sale runs smoothly and buyers can find what they came for. 6. Leave the advertising to us Good equipment needs to reach the right buyers. Venture Group Auction advertises sales to buyers across Southwest Missouri, Northwest Arkansas, Northeast Oklahoma, and Southeast Kansas, so your equipment is seen by farmers, contractors, and collectors who are ready to bid.

What sells best at an estate auction? Tools, farm and shop equipment, vehicles, quality furniture, antiques, and collectibles usually draw the most bidding at estate auctions in Southwest Missouri. But nearly everything sells to someone. Bob Lasswell, auctioneer for Venture Group Auction, has called estate sales since 1977, and he's seen buyers line up for things families almost threw away. Items that draw a crowd • Tools and shop equipment: welders, compressors, power tools, hand tools, and tool boxes • Vehicles and trailers: trucks, cars, ATVs, mowers, and utility trailers • Farm items: small equipment, gates, panels, and fencing supplies • Western and cowboy items: saddles, tack, spurs, and western decor • Antiques: solid wood furniture, crocks, cast iron, and primitives • Collectibles: coins, signs, toys, glassware, and advertising pieces • Sporting goods and outdoor gear: fishing, camping, and hunting gear Don't throw it away before you call One of the biggest mistakes families make is cleaning out too much before calling an auctioneer. Old tools in the barn, boxes in the attic, and "junk" in the shed can bring real money at auction. Before you haul anything to the dump, let the Venture Group Auction team take a look. What should the family keep? Before the sale, family members should set aside keepsakes, photos, and important papers. Look through drawers, books, and pockets for documents, cash, or jewelry. Once the family has what it wants, we organize the rest for sale. How we help items bring their best • Organizing and lotting items so buyers can find what they want • Highlighting the best pieces in our advertising • Reaching buyers across the four-state area, including collectors and dealers • Experienced sale-day calling from Bob Lasswell What about the house? If the estate includes a home or land, Venture Group Auction works alongside Venture Group Real Estate. We can help you find out what the home is worth in Neosho or Newton County and whether to sell it at auction or list it. Looking for treasures?
