Our Legacy: A 3rd-Generation Family Tradition

While Big Valley Auction Co. was officially established under its current banner in 2025, our roots in the industry run three generations deep. Our story began with Frank Brandow, an avid antique and clock collector who operated his own antique business.

Working side by side with his family, Frank fostered a passion for understanding the true history and value of every item. Inspired by this heritage, Tim Kacerek grew up immersed in the family trade, developing a lifelong commitment to helping individuals and business owners turn personal property and equipment into liquid value.
