About

Steve Coil is a Real Estate Broker and Auction Manager with Schrader Real Estate and Auction Company, specializing in land transactions and farm equipment auctions across Indiana.

Background

Steve's three decades in commercial banking give him an in-depth understanding of financing, valuation, and the business decisions behind a real estate sale. That experience allows him to help sellers and buyers understand the financial side of a transaction and navigate it with confidence.

"Treat others as you want to be treated," Steve says. "That's how I approached banking for more than thirty years, and it's how I approach every client I work with today."

Steve's notable sales include an 85 +/- acre auction in Allen County, IN for $1,492,000, as well as a 91 +/- acre sale in Noble County for $1,220,000.
