Nashville Auction School was founded in 1964 by Buford Evans, with the goals of providing quality auction education, raising the standards of the auction profession, and gaining recognition for our graduates. In 1999, Wendell Hanson purchased Nashville Auction School from Buford Evans with the commitment to continue Buford Evan's vision and mission.

      With our commitment to quality, we have also made a commitment to stay abreast of the ongoing changes in the auction industry. Over the past decade, these changes have affected most all areas of auctioneering. Technology is playing an ever increasing role in how auctions are conducted and has served to open a worldwide marketplace for the progressive auctioneer. Trends toward better and more professional services and a qualified and trained auction staff have resulted in the development of specialized educational programs to assist the professional auctioneer with the tools necessary to stay competitive in the marketplace. Nashville Auction School has established itself as a national leader in addressing these changes in our programs and curriculum, and in 2008, we are taking the lead once again by expanding our basic educational programs to incorporate more current and innovative methods of auctioneering practices and by expanding our online continuing education programs for auctioneers.

      Nashville Auction School is located in Tullahoma, Tennessee: a small city with the quaint charm, friendly environment, and safety of a small southern town, but with the amenities of larger municipalities, all centrally located in picturesque Middle Tennessee.

      Nashville Auction School was born out of love for the auction profession. Our staff and instructors bring a wealth of knowledge, skill, and integrity to our programs. Our graduates leave with the necessary skills, insight, and knowledge to serve the public with integrity both in the auction industry and in their day to day lives. We offer small classes, individualized attention, highly trained and professional instructors, and a caring staff.

      Our commitment to excellence in auction education is stronger than ever.

       We have designed this web site to provide you with the information necessary to be the best in the auction industry.

Nashville Auction School is approved by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission.
