Robert Alexander

Robert Alexander became a real estate agent in 1977 and graduated from auction school in 1983. Shortly after, RARE Auction Group came to life. Conducting thousands of successful auctions, RARE Auction Group has evolved into a family operation. Robert’s daughters, Ashley & Staci, grew up in the business, graduated from Murray State University, and are both licensed professional auctioneers. Since 2008 they have operated the Online Auction and Marketing Department, including live simulcast Real Estate Auctions. With their extensive national research and marketing, they have opened our auctions up to the world, drawing high end buyers as far away as Seattle, Washington. They have a “born into it” love for auctions.

We recommend buying and selling at auction without reservation. We buy and sell real estate through auction almost exclusively. Robert purchased the first five of his & Jeanne’s personal homes at auction, as well as countless investment properties. The same goes for selling. Robert has sold all of his homes by auction industry contacts or on the auction block exclusively. Ashley and Staci also bought their first homes at auction. We believe in what we do, we practice what we preach- we invest in real estate and buy and sell at auction. Simply sell better.

What our clients say

February 26, 2019 Dear Robert, Jeanne, Staci and Ashley, My husband, Buel, joins me in congratulating you on 35 years of amazing business success. There is no doubt that you have the premier auction/realty company in a very wide region of the U.S. Your cutting edge marketing, your honesty, and your personal attention to customers is exceptional. Faith and family are your guides in business and in life. You have true class. You are unpretentious. You are not boastful or arrogant. You treat everyone with respect and friendship. Your Christian family values are evident. My family and I feel fortunate to know you and to have experienced the fun and excitement of your live auctions and your great on-line auctions (kudos to Staci and Ashley!). We also appreciate the work you have done to support the St. Mary School System. Our daughter, Laura, is a St. Mary graduate and our granddaughter, Elizabeth, is a 5th grader there. The Robert Alexander family is truly a great asset to our community and beyond. May God continue to bless you and all your endeavors. Sincerely, Nancy Alexander
