Reppert School of Auctioneering

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Reppert School of Auctioneering is the world's leading auctioneer education provider, since 1921. It is located on the grounds of Kruse International in Auburn, Indiana.

The Repperts School of Auctioneering was founded in 1921 by Col. Fred Reppert of Decatur, Indiana. Fred Reppert started in the auction business as a young boy and quickly rose to the top of his profession, selling auctions in every state of America, every province of Canada and Mexico. He was widely recognized as the greatest auctioneer in the world, setting several world records in the sale of livestock, real estate and personal property. The school’s tradition as the premier institution for auction education was carried on by Fred Reppert’s daughter Eleanor and later by his son Rolland Reppert, M.D., who both owned and operated the school. Phil Neuenschwander then operated the school before it was purchased by the Kruse family of Auburn, Indiana.

The Kruse family now has one of the largest auction companies in the world, Kruse International. Repperts is now located at the Kruse Auction Park in Auburn, Indiana, the home of Kruse International, the world’s first and largest collector car auction company. Dennis Kruse, a 1964 graduate of Repperts, now serves as president of the auction school.
