Company Information

 

The bang of the gavel and the cry of “sold!” are centuries old, but the auction method of marketing has entered a new millennium where technology enables us to sell items as quickly as a mouse click or the auctioneer’s tongue. Grubstake Auction Company, located in Anchorage, Alaska is a full-service auction marketing and liquidation company. Since 1986, we have sold everything from airplanes to zippers, with special emphasis on vehicles, heavy equipment, construction materials and government surplus. From on-site estate sales to real estate marketing, if we haven’t sold it, it doesn’t exist!

Through hard work and dedication, our company has grown from its beginning in a small log cabin in Anchorage to encompass several industrial sites and warehouses. From our very first boy scout charity cake auction to sales of multi-million dollar homes and oil-field surplus, we have grown from a family business to an association of professionals with expertise in all aspects of the auction method of marketing. Family involvement remains an integral part of our business, where the children of Ron and Annette Alleva, our founders, who attended their first auctions in backpacks on their parents’ shoulders, now manage aspects of a thriving and successful business

As a new generation takes the reins, a new method of on-line marketing enables us to reach buyers all around the world, while still maintaining the excitement and entertainment of a live auction. Our expertise has earned us the respect and trust of financial institutions, businesses and government agencies. Executors, trustees, lawyers and individuals from commercial and real estate marketing fields have returned to Grubstake again and again, knowing that our effective marketing strategies create the best return in the shortest amount of time.

“Cash in a day, the auction way” is not just a motto, but is the most effective way to maximize return on investments, and to capitalize on unneeded assets.

The rapid-fire chant of the auctioneer, though a familiar sound throughout the land, remains a mystery to many. In simplest terms, the chant is merely a series of numbers connected by “filler” words to give the buyer time to think between bids. Rhythm is as important as speed in developing an effective chant, but nothing is more vital than clarity.
