A product of a first generation American family Al Inglima's ideas and principals, along with an emphasis in a strong work ethic, were encouraged by his family.  His parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles were each successfully involved in various self-employed endeavors.  There were butchers, bakers, contractors, fashion designers, pattern makers, dry cleaners, grocers, jewelers, carpenters and even a candlestick maker.

Recognizing the concept of seeing a need and fulfilling it  Al's entire career, both as an independent businessman and in Corporate America, was based on this concept.  That concept and his unyielding dedication to integrity and customer service provided Al a successful career in a Fortune 100 company.  As the Director of Marketing Al was personally responsible for sales of about 3/4 of a BILLION DOLLARS ($750,000,000.00), in approximately an 8½ year period.

With the ability to depart from corporate  life, Al began to prepare for this new career as an auctioneer.  Evenings, weekends and vacation time were utilized to attend Auction school, become certified as a Personal Property Appraiser and to complete the educational requirements necessary for an Oklahoma Real Estate Brokers License.  Using his business, sales and marketing experience, coupled with his training as an Auctioneer and Appraiser, Al has fully prepared himself to serve your needs with a commitment and professionalism that few others can match.

"I have always been attracted to the auction business, having attended my first auction with my grandparents in 1947 or 1948.  My Mothers parents lived in the city, but had several farms in the country and as children my brother and I spent a portion of each summer on the farms.  It was a great way to grow up and it was always so much fun to go to the various markets when my grandfather would take livestock to sell at auction.  We might spend the entire day at the auction and be sound asleep when returning home late at night.  One of my personal treasures of that time is a sales bill advertising the auction of the personal property at one of my grandparent’s farms".

The “Auction Method of Marketing”, has always provided one of the most direct ways to achieve a complete and effective disposition of real estate and personal property in short order, for cash, while obtaining the fair market value for the seller.

When you begin the process of selecting an auction company, please remember that bid calling represents a small portion of what to look for in a professional auction marketing company.  You will be hiring someone that you trust to be responsible for merchandising your possessions.  That person and or company will be a reflection upon you to the community.  Most people have spent years accumulating their assets and reputation.  Making the effort to seek out a competent and qualified auction firm is in your best interest.  Remember, at Inglima's our goal is to bring you the most in service, value and dollars.
