Thornhill handled the sale of our parents entire household, cars, RVs, golf carts – basically their life’s possessions absent personal mementos. This was due to my father’s passing and my mom having Alzheimers. A most difficult and emotional time in our lives. Thornhill was just wonderful to us and our needs and beyond the professionalism, they were understanding of what we needed and how we were feeling. They were a God send to us. Will always be grateful to them.

I appreciate the work your company did in the recent sell of my property.  It’s a pleasure doing business with a professional company.

The passing of my father was directly followed by moving my mother to assisted living, a truly difficult time in our lives.  Making a decision as to how to dispose of my parents 60 years of possessions was extremely emotional and worrisome.  Thornhill provided us a full service, fauly priced, worry free and trusting auction experience.  They are a family business and treated us like family.  We highly recommend them to anyone and will be forever thankful for their help.

David, Brenda & Dusty,

We can’t thank you enough for all your help with the recent sale of my late father’s gold and silver coin collection.  To have a true professional’s knowledge, experience and marketing ability working for us was priceless.  Everything was professionally handled from start to finish.  We were informed about the process and what to expect and your company exceeded our expectations.  Your ability to get the right potential buyers to the sale was priceless and helped us get the highest price possible.  My mother will be able to stay in her own home on the family farm for months ahead as a result of your hard work and dedication.  Anyone needing help with the sale of an estate, real estate or personal items would be extremely well served by calling Thornhill Real Estate & Auction Co.

Sincerely,
Diane Westbrook

David & his group took a different situation and worked diligently with the owner to get the property to auction.  His counsel and advice prior to the sale was invaluable and produced a fair return for the seller and a fair price for the buyer. Well Done!

The sale exceeded all of our expectations.  Also, all of your personnel (guys and gals) were most impressive with their appearance, friendliness and attitudes.  Their professionalism was well received by all buyers and was greatly appreciated by Judy and me. Thanks again to you and your staff.

After deciding to relocate to Troy we knew we would get the results we needed with Thornhill Auction & Real Estate. We had a sale of our home & acreage and then built a beautiful new home. Thornhills were with us every step of the way. They were very organized and professional and yet it felt like they were family. Thanks so much to David, Brenda and their great, hard working staff and especially to Dusty.

Dear Friends,

First, I want to tell you what an incredible experience our Auction on Oct. 8 for the Eschenbrenner estate was. I replay it over and over in my head. It was so amazing.

It was a bitter-sweet day seeing all the old things go to new owners and family members. So I thank you for helping us. From the day we met Dave we knew we had the right people for our auction. It was an amazing process you perform from inventory to the last item is sold. You were right Dave, everything sells!

Again, thank you for all your hard work and making our auction a great one.

Sincerely, Bev Tulper

Many thanks to Dusty Thornhill of Thornhill Real Estate. He was helpful and always either had the information we needed or got the information we needed very quickly. We sold our home in Troy, MO while living in another state! Dusty helped with so many details, problems solved. He was an outstanding real estate professional.

I so appreciated all that Dusty did to help me in the sale of my home. I was apprehensive about putting my home on the market with the economy being the way it is. Dusty sat down and talked to me about the pros and cons. He was straight forward with me during the entire process. When I sold my home, Dusty handled everything so that all I had to do was show up to sign the paperwork. He kept in contact with me at all times. I would highly recommend Thornhill Real Estate for the sale of your home!!

Dear David,

The three-day Layer estate auction in April, shortly after Mick’s death, was emotionally difficult for us. We all appreciated the kindness and respect you showed us during that week of preparation and the auction that followed.

This was the most organized and professionally conducted sale we have ever attended. We were especially impressed with your advertising, the way your competent staff performed their duties, and of course, the outstanding job of the auctioneers. Everything you promised to do was done in a timely manner, and you communicated with us as planned. We were very pleased with the settlement of the auction, as well as the sale of our real estate.

During the auction, after bidding on an item, we heard an elderly gentleman say, “I’m so glad I came. This is more fun than a circus.” Your sense of humor added warmth to the bitterly cold days we experienced!

You did a fantastic job for us, David. Thanks again to all of you.

Sincerely,

Bob and Betty Layer

When I initially started looking for hunting property, I saw a listing in the Lincoln County Journal by a real estate company in Troy. I stopped in their office and talked with the broker and inquired about the listing and also told him what I was looking for. He told me that he had two agents that specialized in this type of property and he would have one of them contact me. I never heard from his agents.

I decided to drive up north and stopped in real estate offices in Bowling Green, Hannibal and Kirksville. At each stop I spoke with an agent and told them what type of property I was looking for. In each case, I was told they would get back with me with listings to consider. Again, I never heard back from any of them.

However, when I contacted Thornhills, within a few days Dusty Thornhill started emailing me copies of listings for potential hunting properties. Many of them were either more acreage than what I wanted to buy or were not the type of property I was looking for, so I would email back saying they wasn’t what I was looking for. Usually within a week or so Dusty would email me another batch of listings. I’m not sure how many listings he sent that I told him I wasn’t interested in, but, I know it was quite a few. While I’m sure he may have found this discouraging, he didn’t quit sending me listings to consider. After six weeks or so, Dusty sent me a listing for 91 acres up in Chariton County. I drove up, looked at the property and decided that it was exactly what I was looking for. Dusty wrote a contract, scheduled the closing around our schedule and we bought the property. While we may not be in the market for more property at this time, we will contact Thornhill Real Estate and Dusty in particular when we are. If you are in the market for property, call Dusty!

I am so very pleased to have worked with Thornhill Real Estate & Auction Co. in the sale of my home. David & Dusty were so wonderful in all aspects of the sale. Prior to the sale, I had them auction many of my deceased husband’s tools and hobby items. They packed up all the items, documented them and combined them with another auction. I was so pleased with the outcome of the auction.

After listing my home with them, it sold in a matter of a few weeks. They kept me totally informed of all the activity on the home while it was listed. Their advertising brochures and web site proved to be invaluable in allowing perspective buyers to have a virtual tour of the property. The sale and closing went without a hitch, thanks to their professionalism.

The most important part of my working with the Thornhills was their integrity, honesty, and compassion. Throughout both the auction and sale of my residence, I always knew they were truly representing me, the seller. They were always in “my corner.” They were honest in their appraisals, not trying to inflate the actual value of my home. It was a pleasure and an honor to have known and worked with this wonderful family. I would recommend this company to anyone wishing to auction or sell anything. They are totally awesome. Please feel free to use me as a reference anytime.

We were very impressed with the way Thornhill Auction Company was able to put together our auction so quickly and efficiently. Their advertising is so effective and widespread that we were able to draw a large crowd with just a few weeks notice. Although we had a small auction we were treated with the same courtesy and professionalism as clients with much more to offer. Their entire staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and we highly recommend them to anyone and everyone.
