MARSHALL AUCTIONEERS AND APPRAISERS - Key Persons
Dave Allen established Allen & Marshall Auctioneers and Appraisers, LLC. after many years of working with his mentor, Doug Marshall, and was instrumental in helping to create Marshall Auctions. After more than a decade of Marshall Auctions growing to be the largest auction company on the Delmarva Peninsula Dave and Doug decided the only way to effectively manage the company's growth was to split the business into two divisions (one for Real Estate and the other for Personal Property). Hence, Allen and Marshall Auctioneers and Appraisers, LLC was born. In 2005, Dave attended the prestigious Mendenhall School of Auctioneering where he earned the years "best all around" and "most likely to succeed" awards. He has certainly proved worthy of these rewards, selling millions of dollars of personal property and developing intense product knowledge and a distinctive client service. Now the leading personal property auction company on the shore, Allen and Marshall Auctioneers looks forward to continued growth.
