My parents were Antique dealers in Atlanta for over 40 years. When they sadly passed away my wife and I were left to find the right team to help deal with their estate containing thousands of fines antiques. We were referred to Robert and his team from many in the local Antique community.
One unique aspect of Robert and Christy’s business model is the different methods to sell to maximize prices. The Ahler’s team spent weeks organizing and cataloging items to determine the best method of selling. In the end there were about 1000 lots to be sold at auction and the remaining to be sold in a huge 5 day estate sale at my parents home along with remaining items to be sold through their own Gallery sale. We were left with a clean house ready to be put on the market.
The experts on Ahler’s team are beyond amazing! Not only is the core team such a great group with hundreds of years of experience between them, they called in all the nessecary experts to evaluate more unique items like American Indian, Eskimo and other pieces that were somewhat niche domains.
The whole experience - top to bottom - has left us with the Ahlers team as an extension of our family, we care about them and it’s obvious they care about us. I feel good knowing I put the estate that my parents were so proud of in the right hands.
My wife and I can both whole heartedly recommend, without reservation, the Ahlers team to handle any sized estate. The process, people and results you just won’t find anywhere else. We are very thankful for all of their hard work...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of attending an auction at Ahlers & Ogletree, and I am absolutely impressed with both the professionalism and warmth displayed throughout the entire process. From the moment I walked in, it was clear that this is a well-established, reputable auction house, and the experience exceeded all expectations.
One standout was Joanna, who truly made the event memorable. Her expertise and attentiveness were evident from the start. She took the time to explain the bidding process in detail, which made me feel comfortable and confident as a first-time bidder. Joanna's knowledge of the items up for auction was exceptional—her insightful descriptions helped me understand the history and value of each piece, enhancing my appreciation of the auction and my decisions.
What impressed me most was her ability to make everyone feel welcome and valued. It was clear that Joanna cares deeply about providing a personalized experience for each bidder, and her friendly, approachable demeanor added a personal touch that made the entire event enjoyable. She went above and beyond to ensure that all my questions were answered, and I left the auction feeling not only satisfied with my purchases but also eager to return in the future.
If you're ever in the market for unique collectibles, fine art, or other high-end items, I highly recommend Ahlers & Ogletree—and if you’re lucky enough to interact with Joanna, you’re in...
Read moreNot professional. You send in an online query for appraisal to see if an item would good for their auction and if it's not the person that emails you asking for photos is impossible to reach. I have been trying for almost 20 days to find out if my photos were sufficient and the lady would not return my call, answer my call or email me anything back. I finally was told today by someone else that they didn't think it would be a good fit for their auction after being referred to them by another auction house who valued the item at $1000+ but we're unable to add it to their catalogue at the time in question. If you are selling just one item or are just curious about what you are selling I suggest going somewhere else. The customer service here is sub-par. I didn't include the ladies name but I will not reach out with other high end items that I come across. If you have a good experience with them, I'm glad for you I'm just speaking on...
