Site development by The Allegan Group









Started in 1969, TerAvest (or Ter Avest) Auction Inc. located in Allegan, Michigan has served the West Michigan and surrounding areas as professional personal property and real estate auctioneers. As members of the National Auctioneers Association, the Michigan State Auctioneers Association, and the Certified Appraisal Guild of America, Teravest Auctions has handled numerous estate sales, commercial auctions, residential auctions, appraisals, real estate auctions and on-site inspections. If you have never been to a TerAvest (or sometimes mistaken for Travis) auction, then you have missed out on various collectibles or collection pieces, antiques and antique furniture, farm equipment, forage equipment, livestock, sporting goods, shop tools, and various other real estate and personal property items.

Ter Avest Auctions, Inc. has found its niche in farm and farming equipment such as gates, head chutes, saddles, machinery, tractors, combines, no-till, and hay equipment, auctioning off name brand forage equipment such as John Deere, Ford, Case International, New Holland and Brillion. As a specialized auction service, we have also sent livestock such as dairy and beef cattle (Holstein, Angus, Maine-Anjou, Shorthorn), and sheep to auction.

We now also work hand-in-hand with Maurer Real Estate of Allegan, Michigan. This brings a licensed realtor into the equation with experience and expertise to handle any real estate auction. This relationship allows TerAvest Auctions a broader range of auction services, as well as offering home sellers another option.
