On April 18, Miedema Auctioneering successfully conducted the real estate auction for the estate of Gerald and Donna Kehoe in Ada, Michigan. This desirable rural property featured a well-maintained ranch-style home with a two-stall garage, an outbuilding, a scenic pond, and approximately 35 acres of land. Its combination of residential comfort, functional acreage, and prime location generated strong interest from buyers throughout the region.
The property was offered in four individual parcels, as well as a single combined tract, allowing bidders flexibility based on their goals and budgets. Through a strategic marketing campaign and the expertise of Miedema Auctioneering’s professional auctioneers, competitive bidding was encouraged across all options. As a result, the property was sold to three different high bidders for a total of $500,000, demonstrating the effectiveness of the auction method in maximizing value for estate properties.
One week before the real estate auction, Miedema Auctioneering also managed the personal property auction for the Kehoe Estate. This auction featured a wide and diverse selection of assets, including a loader backhoe, tractors, farm implements, tools, a riding lawn mower, and various pieces of shop equipment. In addition, household items such as furniture, dishes, antiques, bedroom sets, and other personal effects were offered. The breadth and quality of the items attracted a strong pool of bidders and resulted in an efficient and successful sale.
The Kehoe family expressed their satisfaction with the outcomes of both auctions, appreciating the smooth process and strong results achieved. Miedema Auctioneering was honored to assist the family during this transition and is grateful for the opportunity to serve them. Successfully managing both the real estate and personal property auctions allowed for a comprehensive solution that met the family’s needs while delivering excellent results.
