Eastern Shore Auctions can trace its roots back to O.J. Brittingham, a full service auctioneer who served the Eastern Shore for over forty years. OJ conducted all types of auctions including farm auctions, real estate and personal property auctions. Ron Brittingham, one of O.J.’s sons, began auctioneering with his father at a young age and continued to auctioneer for over forty years providing full service auction services in Maryland, Virginia and Delaware. Through Ron’s experience and tutelage, Willie gained auction experience and began his auction career.

Willie began his auction career in 1988. Willie learned the auction business from the ground level by working in the pit and helping organize items for sale. After several years, Willie became the clerk and later learned to auctioneer. As the business grew, so did Willie’s experience. Willie auctioneered for Ron Brittingham Auctioneers for 14 years.

In 2007, Willie and Susan opened Eastern Shore Auctions, Inc.. People of the Eastern Shore wanted an honest auctioneer who they knew they could trust. Willie brings his 27 years’ experience as a Maryland State Trooper to his auction business. He brings integrity, honesty, and professionalism to the auction industry.
