Sayre & Jones Auctioneers is a full-service auction company specializing in fundraising/charity events. We are a progressive and innovative company, educated on the newest techniques but rooted in tradition. With a history of professionalism and respect, we dedicate ourselves to each and every event we are involved with—maintaining the excitement and drive, matched only by the committed organizations we serve.
Keith Jones, President and Head Auctioneer of Sayre & Jones Auctioneers, has over 25 years of experience. A Champion Auctioneer, Keith is past president of the Indiana Auctioneers Association, the largest state association for auctioneers in the country. There he served a total of 16 years on the board.
Keith was introduced to the wonderful world of auctioneering through his father, Fred Sayre, an accomplished auctioneer and general manager of the largest auto auction in the Midwest, Greater Chicago Auto Auction. Along with Keith's mother, Lorraine, Fred built Fred Sayre Auction Co., a successful business in northwest Indiana, specializing in real estate, business liquidations and personal property. Through the years, Fred's accomplishments continued to amaze his son. He was President of the Indiana Auctioneers Association, Commissioner for the state of Indiana and was elected into the Auctioneers Hall of Fame.
Keith Jones learned from his father the correct way to run a company, starting at the bottom and working up. He learned integrity, dedication to each and every client and the importance of honesty. Those values are still what drive Sayre & Jones Auctioneers today. When Fred Sayre retired, Keith turned his focus toward fundraising/charity auctions, and has been specializing in the field ever since. It’s the satisfaction achieved through teamwork—Keith dedicating himself to the client's goals and reaching those goals. Helping his clients toward a successful event is what continues to fuel his passion.
Keith has been fortunate to have been elected President of the Indiana Auctioneers Association and to serve on that board for 16 years. He is also a Champion Auctioneer contest winner and continues to be very involved with the continuing education of all auctioneers.
Over the years, Sayre & Jones Auctioneers has become a highly respected and sought after, fundraising/charity auction company. Based in the Chicagoland area, with capabilities to travel nationwide, we have had the opportunity to serve all types of organizations, regardless of size or dollar amount. It is a history of dedication, professionalism and humanity that remains the essence of our company today.
