Change in Marketing Brings Name Change to Schrader/Westchester.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Westchester's auction partner, Schrader, will now be marketed separately from Westchester Group, Inc. To reflect this change, Schrader/Westchester will now be known as Westchester Auctions, and Schrader will remain the main auction-day partner. The seamless transition to the new name will allow potential buyers and sellers to receive the same high level of service they have come to expect from Schrader/Westchester.

Schrader/Westchester, as a team, pioneered the multi-parcel auction process since adopted by most of today's auction companies. Those taking advantage of Westchester Auctions' expertise include farmers and ranchers, timber, coal and recreational land sellers and purchasers, and others.

Westchester Auctions, the Land Marketing Authority, along with Schrader Auctions, has long been known for using its innovative land marketing and auctioning techniques to bring the highest return to large land sellers. To date they have registered $1.1 billion in land sales nationwide.

Keeping with tradition, Westchester Auctions will continue to bring more qualified buyers to large land auctions. But more than just sell, Westchester Auctions partners with and executes marketing tactics for their customers. They assess the land and the market, keeping in mind the customer's desire to sell immediately, sell for the highest price or sell to one buyer to keep the parcel intact. Armed with this information Westchester Auctions then recommends the best marketing approach, based on the customer's objectives, to give the highest return.

Working with Westchester Auctions gives customers the peace of mind that comes from knowing they have partnered with the best land marketer to maximize the sale value of their land.

Westchester Auctions, LLC, and Schrader Auctions, two leading real estate and auction marketing firms, have created the largest real estate auction partnership in the United States. Utilizing their marketing expertise and multi-parcel auction system, Westchester Auctions allows bidders to compete continuously throughout an auction, helping institutional, corporate and individual landowners achieve the highest price possible for their real estate.
