Company History:

Asset Recovery Auctions & Appraisals, Inc. was started eighteen years ago by President & Owner, Mr. Ken Roebuck, and has been operating successfully ever since. ARA began as the FF&E, (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) Liquidating arm of John Roebuck & Associates, another successful Memphis auction firm. Asset Recovery worked alongside Roebuck & Associates under one umbrella until 2000, when Asset Recovery split from Roebuck & Associates, so that we might continue to flourish & expand on our own. The results have been fantastic. Asset Recovery continues to enhance our services and expand with respect to our areas of expertise. Today, we offer a wide variety of auction services tailored to fit the needs of all our clients. In addition to auction services, we provide a wide range of appraisal services for our clients.

Ken Roebuck attended the Missouri Auction School, and completed their program in 1985. The Missouri Auction School is widely recognized as the number one auction education institution in North America. Today, Ken is a member of CAI, the Certified Auctioneers Institute. Not simply a group of licensed auctioneers, membership in CAI is the most prestigious designation awarded in the auction industry. Ken is also a member of NAA, the National Auctioneers Association. He also is a member, and Past President of TAA, the Tennessee Auctioneers Association. Furthermore, he holds his CAPP License, (Certified Appraiser of Personal Property). You can feel comfortable, also, knowing that ARA is fully bonded.
