West of Batavia on Wortendyke Road, Bontrager Auction Group runs a real estate and personal property auction business that serves Genesee County and the surrounding Western New York towns of Kent, Dale, Alexander, and Albion. Rather than operating a single storefront of fixed inventory, the company builds each sale around a specific event: an estate that needs to be settled, a household downsizing, a farm or moving sale, or a parcel of land or a home going to auction. Buyers can participate either by bidding online through the company’s own platform or by attending in person, a hybrid format that lets the business draw bidders from well beyond driving distance of Batavia while still hosting traditional on-site auction days for local collectors and dealers.
The company’s work splits between two related lines of business. On the personal property side, Bontrager handles estate liquidations, collectibles, antiques, tools, and general household goods, cataloging each lot so remote bidders can evaluate condition and value before placing a bid. On the real estate side, the firm conducts property auctions as a licensed brokerage, giving sellers an alternative to a traditional listing when a faster, transparent sale process is the priority. The business also operates a self storage facility, rounding out a set of services aimed at people managing a life transition, whether that means clearing out a family home, relocating, or simply needing extra space during a move.
Professional credentials back up the operation: Bontrager holds memberships in the Buffalo Niagara Association of Realtors, the National Association of Realtors, the New York State Association of Realtors, and the New York State Auctioneers Association, placing the business under the same licensing and ethical standards that govern traditional real estate brokerages as well as the auction industry’s own professional body. That dual affiliation is somewhat unusual for a regional auction house, since many personal property auctioneers stick strictly to collectibles and estate sales without also handling licensed real estate transactions, and it means sellers can potentially use one company to liquidate both the contents of a home and the property itself.
Auction schedules are posted regularly on the company’s website and social channels, with recent sales spanning Batavia and the small Genesee County hamlets nearby, and interested bidders can register for email updates to be notified as new estate, moving, and real estate auctions are added to the calendar. Sellers considering an estate sale, a farm dispersal, or a straightforward property sale can reach the company directly by phone to discuss which auction format fits their situation. Bontrager Auction Group is a Batavia, New York based auction and real estate brokerage that conducts both online and in-person estate, collectibles, and property auctions throughout the Western New York region.
