About Us

Nick Arrington is a lifelong resident of the DC metro area. A 1976 graduate of Madison College and later The Mendenhall School of Auctioneering.

In the ’70’s Nick managed or owned several Equipment dealerships including 2 John Deere CP Dealerships where his duties included organizing and participating in auctions which included trade-in, off-lease and repossessed equipment through various Auctioneers.

In the 80’s he concentrated his efforts on the commercial recovery and repossession of business assets of every type imaginable on behalf of regional lenders – typically involving “no-pay / slow-pay” leasing and financing situations. Unhappy with the results of contracted auctioneers, he attended The Mendenhall School Of Auctioneering in the ’80’s. Here he was one of only a handful of students in the history of the school to score a perfect score of 100 on the final exam. Shortly thereafter he obtained his Auctioneer’s licenses.

For almost 30 years he has served the general public, estates, legal and banking communities resolving a myriad of problems related to thousands of asset recovery situations.

Not all auctioneers are cut from the same cloth. Don’t take chances with an outfit has suddenly added the title “Auctioneer” on their business card — who couldn’t tell you the difference between a jack hammer and a jack-in-the-box — or a part time salesperson who conducts one sale a month on the side.

Testimonials

We can’t thank you enough for your services in liquidating the antique cars in the Sperryville, Va. Estate. The entire process from pickup to arranging delivery to the new owners was seamless. Your pre auction estimates met or exceeded the values on each vehicle. We never imagined the cars would end up in so many different states and outside of the United States. Thanks again.

A. HenryExecutor Rappahannock Co. Virginia

When someone has the responsibility for turning property of any sort into as much cash as the market will bear, it’s pure folly not to engage the services of an experienced liquidator like Nick Arrington. Always the professional, he had a knack for making people enjoy dealing with him, was always prepared, and made me look good. I can’t thank him enough.

Bob TylerChapter 7 Trustee

Tasked with settling my brother's estate, I needed someone who could handle an online auction as well as someone who had the expertise to handle a large collection of antique cars and car parts accumulated over 50 years. Arrington Auctions fit the bill perfectly. His auction strategy and targeted marketing was spot on, resulting in over 64,000 online catalog views and over13,500 bids between the two auctions. Arrington Auctions handled everything associated with the auction from developing the inventory, marketing, executing the auction, to handling delivery of the items to highest bidders, including shipping cars across the US and even overseas. The auction results far exceeded my expectations. Even the estate lawyer congratulated me on such a successful auction and asked for the name of the auction company to refer to future clients. Mr. Arrington's professionalism, integrity and results makes it easy for me to refer Arrington Auctions to anyone in need of a top tier auction company.
