Housby Reviews

Units that were sold through the auction consistently were 10-30% below the low appraised value. Plus you have to take another 10% for the service. Their excuse was pieces were not the bred and butter pieces and that was total BS, trucks and trailers that IS the bread an butter of the whole industry. So is dirt moving equipment. With Every large deal I landed there were 3 people trying to get into my deal and all the accomplished was completely messing it up. I brought in prime rib eye steak time after time and they either didn't lift a finger, couldn't get close to the appraised value, or did something to anger the client and blame it on me, and act like I couldn't close it down. Do not work for them they will promise that you will make 150k, promise that the sales are sooo easy, promise that they have all these clients out there that are not being worked, promise that they get the best value for units, promise that all you have to do is go get contracts signed and they will do the rest. The reality is that none of that is true in any way shape or form. To do the math to make 150k you would have to sell 6,700,000 in units with the average unit selling at about 15k you would have to sell 446 units, trucks, trailers, pieces of heavy equipment yea right!. Any time I alluded to the fact that I was doing someone else's job they would flip out. Here is what you really have to do. Make sales to companies that had already been burned by them, inspect the units, promote the units, handle the logistics of the units, pray to God that a decent value came out of the auction, and convince your client to take a bad dollar amount compared to market value and auction competitors. Any client worth anything is already a house account and your left with the scraps out in the open market. Also the recruiter they hired totally lied about their turn over rate to me (as did Housbys). I asked what the turnover rate was for them and they said 0. In my time I personally saw 12 guys get hired and fired.
