Farmland, ranches and timberland sold at auction with the multi-tract method Schrader pioneered, and farm equipment and machinery sold at auctions live on site and online.

Our company began with Denzil Schrader as an auctioneer in Columbia City, Indiana in 1944. Rex, then RD, and now Luke have each taken on leadership roles, growing the sale barn and farm sales into an auction and land brokerage company that sells from coast to coast. Over the years, business partners Lavern Schrader, Gene Klingaman, and Roger Diehm, in addition to the wonderful Schrader agents and staff, have played critical roles in the company's growth.
$618,028,139 sold and 167,763 acres across the country, and every one of them with its results published. The map adds a sale the day its bids are entered.
The National Auctioneers Association's marketing competition, presented with USA Today, has named a Schrader sale Auction of the Year five times. The same processes, the same team, are behind every property we sell.

Our multi-tract method lets buyers bid on a single tract, any group of tracts, or the whole farm, all in the same auction. Competition between neighbors, investors and operators sets the price, and our Graphical Bidding Viewer shows every bidder exactly where they stand.

Schrader Real Estate and Auction Company has sold farmland, ranches, timberland and farm equipment since 1944, from a home base in Columbia City, Indiana and regional offices from Colorado to Ohio. We aim to be the nation's most respected auction marketing company by generating maximum value for our clients in a timely, professional manner, combining new and old school approaches into a plan tailored to each client's goals.
We make a lot of friends in this business, coordinating some of the biggest events of our clients' lives. We get to know each seller as an individual, understand their goals for the auction and for their life after it, and design the marketing campaign to suit the people and the project.
No other land auction firm publishes its results the way we do. Every completed Schrader auction shows the total sold and the per-tract prices, so you can see what land like yours actually brought.
"Your team worked diligently behind the scenes. With all of the elaborate preparations, the auction came together in a smooth, professional spectacle with big-screen pictures of the property, bidding displays and white boards to clarify the bidding combinations. This raised prices beyond our expectations."
