Our Story
Our Story
Hammond Auction Company was built on a simple idea: treat every client like family and every auction like it's your own. Based in Salem, Illinois, we've grown from a local operation into one of the most trusted full-service auction companies in the state — all while keeping the personal touch that sets us apart.
We've auctioned everything from family farms and commercial real estate to antique collections, livestock, firearms, business liquidations, and everything in between. No two auctions are the same, and we approach each one with the same care, preparation, and professionalism.
When you work with Hammond, you're not just hiring an auctioneer — you're partnering with a team that genuinely cares about getting you the best result possible.

Community
We're proud supporters of 4-H, charity events, and community organizations across southern Illinois.
Personal Service
