Jeff Martin Auctioneers has announced the integration of Martin & Martin Auctioneers of Pelzer, S.C. into its ongoing operations.

This expansion will enable Jeff Martin Auctioneers to strengthen its presence in the southeastern United States. It has been a goal of Owner and President, Jeff Martin, to become one of the top auction companies in the nation by 2018, according to Martin. The addition of the Pelzer operation contributes to this vision, he added.

“I am pleased to announce Jeff Martin Auctioneers' newest chapter — expanding into the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions,” Martin said. “We are excited to build on the legacy my family has worked so hard over the years to achieve. Operating in South Carolina feels like coming back home.”

The Pelzer location will remain a fully staffed permanent operation under the direction of Jennifer Martin Upton. Martin & Martin Auctioneers has been in the auction business since 1973 and is a leader in the construction equipment and real estate auction industry. Through multiple auctions onsite and online each year, thousands of customers have grown to appreciate the level of personalized service provided by the staff at Martin & Martin Auctioneers, according to the company. The company plans to carry on this tradition as Jeff Martin Auctioneers expands into this region.

The company said it is excited to carry on the tradition of excellence set by Debbie Martin, president of Martin & Martin, who has devoted many years of service to the auction profession and looks forward to the continued success and opportunities in the coming years, doing business with southern hospitality, the Jeff Martin Auctioneers way.
