We are a full service auction company that operates on core values of respect, honesty, hard work, and of course, fun! HOW WE CAME ABOUT
Hubert Tillmon, owner of Tillmon Auction Service, has been a licensed and bonded professional Auctioneer for over 26 years. Upon retiring from the military in 1989 after 20 years of service, he opened Tillmon & Daughter Antiques in Tacoma, WA, which he operated
for 11 years. Shortly after opening his antique shop, Tillmon obtained his Auctioneer license and began selling his restored and refinished antique furniture at public auction. About the same time, he began his secondary business of assisting storage facilities with their delinquent and abandoned storage units by selling them at open public auction. His method was new, and came at a time when many facilities were selling units by means of the silent auction process or by selling them to a private buyer. Tillmon’s knowledge of furniture and collectibles enabled him to recognize value in storage units that were being sold for far less than they were worth by means of the silent auction process. By comparison, his business model has proven to be the most efficient and consistent way to recover the maximum amount of money per unit over all other means of selling. When Tillmon began selling delinquent storage units for Urban Self Storage, Inc., over 25 years ago, they had just one facility to their name. has grown into a leading management company in the NW with over 60 facilities totaling almost 33,000 units and counting. Tillmon Auction Service has grown right alongside of them including, adding Tillmon’s daughter, Cycely Pearl, as a contracted Auctioneer. We have since added to our clientele with Extra Space Storage as well as several other privately owned and managed storage facilities. Over the years, Tillmon Auction Service has grown to acquire a consistent and loyal following of buyers that attend our storage auctions rain or shine. The volume of buyers that attend our storage auctions ensures that competitive bidding and fair prices are obtained for each unit sold. As always, we keep the auction process honest, fast, and fun! To our customers we say thank you for your support rain or shine, day or night. And yes, thank you for laughing at our corny jokes!
