“We truly are a family business. It’s
amazing to be able to work with your
children and grandchildren while
watching them grow in the business
and take an interest in it.”

“A lot of times as auctioneers, we
are dealing with someone’s lifetime
accumulations,” adds Danny. “They
trust in us to treat them fairly and
honestly.”
Altogether, Ford Brothers have
around 80 personnel working at
their various locations. Naturally,
Devin and Matt remain busy en-
suring the family business will be
around for decades to come.
“I guess everybody wants to keep
a family business going from what
was started,” Matt says. “Devin and
I have worked hard at keeping it
going.”
