The auction house's experienced staff and specialists have a reputation for treating sellers' belongings with the same care that they would give to their own property, working hard to get top dollar for each item.

As a family business, Berner's Auction Gallery has two auctioneers from the Berner family itself. Auctioneer Jacob Berner is a third generation auctioneer following in the footsteps of his father, James Berner, who has more than 40 years of auctioneering experience. Jacob Berner got his feet wet in the auction business early, getting involved at the tender age of 12 when he began serving as his father's apprentice. After high school, Jacob Berner immediately attended auctioneering school to learn the trade inside and out. Both share an enthusiasm for auctions and the unique and rare items that pass through each one.
