Dempsey Auction Co. was founded by Sproull Dempsey and Ray Dempsey in 1965. We are a third generation auction company based in Rome, GA. In the 1940's, Sproull Dempsey had to sell the family dairy farm. He didn't like how the bidding was going at the auction, so he got in the crowd and started working. The auctioneer offered him a job after the sale and the Dempsey's have been auctioneers ever since. In 1965, Sproull Dempsey, Sr, Sproull (Bo) Dempsey, Jr. and Ray Dempsey formed Dempsey Auction Co. In the 70's Lynn Dempsey came on board followed by their sister Becky (Dempsey) Woodard. We've been through ups and downs in the markets and have sold everything from a tractor to a 14 story building in Atlanta. We are licensed in GA, TN, AL, NC & SC. We have posted our sales results for the past 10 years under the results tab above. If you have questions about any of our past sales, give us a call and ask for Mr. Dempsey (you'll get one of us).
