About Our Staff
Michael B. Harper: Owner/Auctioneer/Broker-in-Charge
Mike Harper has 35 years of experience in the real estate and auction world,
having sold property as an IRS Property Appraisal & Liquidation Specialist
throughout the eastern U.S. as well as Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands
before founding Harper Auction & Realty in 2006. Mike holds a BA in History and
Social Sciences from UNC-Greensboro. Born and raised in Clemmons NC, Mike
has lived in Mt. Pleasant SC since 1993, and is a licensed Real Estate Broker and
licensed Auctioneer in both his home state of North Carolina, and his adopted
home state of South Carolina. He is also a Certified Real Estate Instructor. In
addition to being a Real Estate Specialist, Mike also has vast experience in
Business Liquidations, Heavy Equipment Sales and Classic/Collectible
Automobiles.
Mike was honored in 2005 as the National IRS Collection Specialist of the Year
Beverly P. Harper: Owner/eBay Specialist/Real Estate Agent
Beverly is the other half of Harper Auction and Realty. Beverly has supported Mike
in his love of the Auction Business, and encouraged him in establishing his own
Auction and Realty Company. Beverly holds a BA in Clothing & Textiles from UNC-
Greensboro, and holds a SC Real Estate License. Beverly is the office
Administrator who "makes the trains run on time" at HA&R. Beverly is our Vice
President of “NO”, meaning she has veto authority over wild ideas and over-
exuberance until she is convinced of the feasibility of the idea or the project. This
is a much-needed function in any successful business venture!.
Moon, the Auction Dog / Dog (1993 - 2009) RIP
Moon, the Auction Dog will be with us in spirit at all future Auctions..
Our Mission / Vision:
We exist to assist sellers in realizing the maximum sales price, at a date certain, at
a reasonable cost. As an Auctioneer/Broker, I am a seller's agent. Our passion is
showing how the Auction Method of selling is superior in every way to traditional
Real Estate Brokerage. My favorite saying is "A traditional Real Estate Broker sets
a price and comes down, while an Auctioneer sets a price and goes up."
We also occasionally will lend our vast experience in the auction world to those
investors interested in purchasing at auction, by representing them as a buyer's
agent. (Not at our own auctions, however.) We NEVER practice dual agency.
We are small, and for a good reason: We like it that way! We are not interested in
dominating the world Real Estate or Auction market. We simply do our little piece
of it ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!
