About Tharp Auction Service

Tharp Auction Service began with a young boy’s fascination for the auction world. Growing up in Roseville, Thad spent Saturday mornings attending local auctions, riding on the auctioneer’s cart and listening to him sell nearly all day. While he didn’t know it at the time, these moments sparked a lifelong passion for the auction industry. The lessons learned from those early experiences—most importantly, that people come first, not dollars—continue to shape the way Tharp Auction Service operates today.

With extensive experience in real estate, livestock, and machinery, Tharp Auction Service is equipped to handle a wide range of asset transfers. Whether you’re managing the sale of a family farm, equipment, or property, Tharp Auction Service is proud to help you through the process with professionalism and care.
