Voorheis Auction and Realty

Brent Voorheis grew up in the auction business. His father, R. E., started auctioneering in 1959 and completed his earthly journey in 2017. He is now sitting at the right hand of God. R. E. gave Brent an excellent start in the basics of an auction. Brent began working with the advance preparation and display of an auction. Later he graduated to cashiering, clerking, catching bids. He attended Missouri Auction School in 1972.

Brent is a member of the Missouri Professional Auctioneers Association. He served as President in 1982 and was inducted into the MPAA Hall of Fame in 1986. He also won the Missouri State Fair Auctioneers Championship in 1985. While being a champion bid caller, Brent understands that there is more to a successful auction than the auctioneer's chant.

Brent earned the Certified Auctioneer Institute designation (CAI) in 1982 and maintains that designation with continuing education. Brent also has earned the CES designation representing a Certified Estate Specialist. Brent's additional auction education includes Accredited Auctioneer of Real Estate classes and Benefit Auctioneer Specialist classes. Through the National Association of Realtors, Brent earned the Graduate of the Realtors Institute (GRI) designation.

Brent regularly offers his auction services to numerous community organizations, such as Pascale's Pals, Friends of NRA, Big Brothers Big Sisters Countdown to Kickoff, local churches, several local schools and others.
