To better serve her senior transition clients, Amy Wright of reSettled Life in Union wanted to offer auctions as one of her services.

To do so required her to be an apprentice auctioneer for one year, work 10 auctions, complete 80 hours of training, and pass the principal auctioneer’s examination. Having completed all four, she earned her principal auctioneer license from the Kentucky Board of Auctioneers on November 10.
She now joins the 182 other women who make up a very small percentage of the 2000 auctioneers currently licensed in Kentucky.
Wright is proud to be a part of this elite group of women, but that is not what drove her to get her license.
“My being a licensed principal auctioneer allows reSettled Life to provide a complete service to our clients,” said Wright. “Not only can we organize, pack, and unpack the belongings the senior wants to keep, we can also provide some additional income by auctioning many unwanted belongings rather than donating or discarding them.”
reSettled Life is a senior transition and auction company serving Northern Kentucky, Cincinnati and Southeast Indiana. They help families move loved ones from their homes into smaller homes, senior-friendly communities, or nursing facilities.
For the past year, Wright has been holding client auctions as an apprentice under a licensed auctioneer, but is happy to be able to do it on her own now. The majority of reSettled Life’s auctions are held online, although Wright is licensed to hold live auctions as well.
Once the auction is complete, the company handles payment collection and distribution of sold items, giving clients more time to be with their families.
