About us
An established South African auction house
Phil Minnaar Auctioneers has been part of the South African auction landscape since 1954. What began as a family auctioneering business has grown into a firm trusted by banks, attorneys, executors, liquidators, farmers, municipalities and private clients.
We conduct auctions of both movable and immovable assets: property, agricultural equipment, livestock handling infrastructure, vehicles, trucks, plant, machinery, office and industrial equipment. Each mandate begins with an honest assessment and a clear recommendation on how best to realise value.
Our approach has not changed in seventy years — proper preparation, thorough marketing, an experienced auctioneer on the rostrum, and transparent administration afterwards. What has changed is how our catalogues reach buyers: lots are published online with photographs, descriptions and viewing details well ahead of every sale.
