Keith A. Jones

Keith caught the auctioneering bug at an early age. For years, Keith watched his stepfather conduct auctions with passion and excellence. It didn’t take young Keith long to commit to following in Fred’s formidable footsteps. He joined Fred Sayre Auction Co. doing “Whatever he told me,” knowing it was an education of a lifetime. Keith earned a certification in auctioneering at the Missouri Auction School in 1984, in 1985, he earned an associate’s in management and marketing from Kansas Newman College, and in 1986, he founded Sayre & Jones. The new company’s mission: earning top dollar for charities through specialized auctioneering expertise.Keith has led Sayre & Jones to raise more than $300 million for clients nationwide. The results and glowing reviews he and his team have earned speak to his skills as a fundraising auctioneer and leader. He is proud to be a Champion Auctioneer, honored to be past President of the Indiana Auctioneers Assc. and humbled to have been enshrined in the Indiana Auctioneers Hall of Fame. Keith gets the most joy not just from raising top dollar but from seeing the chairs and committee members, who he has worked with for months, realizing all their hard work paid off.
