Company History

In August of 2000, Brandon Harker and Curt Davis founded Auction Flex® in Ocala, Florida. Brandon's programming background, passion for providing intuitive software, and zeal for auctions provided the direction for the new company. Acting as a silent partner, Curt's keen business sense and previous entrepreneurial endeavors provided a solid foundation. From the beginning, the company had one long term goal: to provide the auction industry's best auction management software and, furthermore, to provide an unequalled level of customer service. Auction Flex® auction software is the fruit of that labor and though our testimonials page provides ample evidence that we've come a long way since 2000, we recognize that there is always room for improvement. We pledge to our customers to keep Auction Flex on a path of continuous improvement and to never leave them behind the times with antiquated technology.
