Real Estate Auction Sales

We offer Real Estate auctions as a stand alone product or in conjunction with personal property if there is an Estate situation or downsizing involved.

The Meares Auction Group, in conjunction with Meares Land and Auction Company, sells Real Estate - both residential and commercial, at auction. The company began selling Real Estate in upstate South Carolina in 1978 and continues to sell using the auction method of marketing today!
