About this listen
In this episode, host Tim Peters sits down with Chris Rasmus, the second-generation auctioneer behind Rasmus Auctions. Chris shares his journey from joining the family business in 1983 to becoming a leader in auction innovation. They discuss the importance of working on your business instead of in it, how to diversify asset classes, and Chris’s groundbreaking move into online-only auctions in 2000. Chris also dives into how his company manages customer care for over 1,200 auctions a year and the success they've found in the retail returns market.
