Years of experience in the auction business and an established presence in various networks are very beneficial. In addition, most credible auction companies are members of the National Auctioneers Association and their state auctioneer associations.

    Haynes is a past-president of the National Auctioneers Association and a member of the National Auctioneer’s Hall of Fame. He has taught numerous auction and real estate seminars at the national level and for various auction schools. Eddie is also a member of the Texas and Oklahoma Auctioneer Associations. In addition, Eddie holds the designation of CAI, the most revered professional designation an Auctioneer can acquire. Auctioneers that have earned this designation are part of an elite network of professionals who are committed to continuing education, professionalism and excellence in the auction business.

   Buford has a history of making big things happen; from the organization and sale of a 30-property six-county real estate sale for the United States Federal Court in Dallas, Texas, to building a banking franchise, to rebuilding a state association of 100 community banks, to developing hundreds of top quality replacements females, to managing large stocker and seed stock cattle operations. Craig is also an active member of the National Auctioneers Association, the Texas and Oklahoma Auctioneer Associations and sits on various banking related boards throughout Texas, Oklahoma, and the nation. 

   Credibility must be earned and Eddie Haynes, Inc. has done just that, as expressed so well by a recent client:

“Our sale was very complex, as we sold like-new heavy construction equipment, tools, horses, tack, furniture, electronics and three different types of real estate zoned 4 different ways. Your skill and planning made the difference as even in a depressed economy we had gains in value. I would be honored to provide a reference for any future customer who has questions about your ability to deliver what you promise.”
