About Us
MIEDEMA COMPANIES
Our Beginning:
Our start in the auction marketing and appraisal business began in 1984 when our first auction was held. In 1987, Miedema Auctioneering Inc was incorporated by founders Sid Miedema Sr, Sid Miedema Jr, and Scott Miedema.
Since then, we have worked diligently to develop a reputation for honesty, integrity, and for conducting highly successful auction sales and accurate appraisals. Our team incorporates the latest technological advances into our service to insure that our service to our clients is on the “cutting edge” so that we can provide our clients with the best results possible.
Over the years, as our clients’ needs began changing, we developed specialized companies to help meet these needs. Today we have 5 companies each specializing in a segment of the auction marketing or appraisal industry.
