June 17, 2014 (KANSAS CITY, Mo.) – Cary Aasness, president and chief executive officer, his wife Anita and the Team of United Country – Aasness Auctioneers Auctions and Real Estate, announced today that they will hold a grand opening at the company’s state-of-the-art auction facility.

Weinzetl, who is also an auctioneer, has accepted the position of chief managing officer and broker in the company’s real estate division at Aasness Auctions and Real Estate.

“We’re excited about this addition to our talented team now being able to offer both traditional listings, as well as our mainstay real estate auctions, and servicing all areas of Minnesota, North Dakota and beyond,” said Aasness. “We are thrilled to invite the public to our indoor/outdoor auctions at the equipment consignment facility. Since joining United Country a year ago, our business has accelerated in many ways in the direction of our focus: real estate and real estate auctions. Using the United Country marketing and technology tools allows us to exceed our goals in providing outstanding service and results.”

Kicking off at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 28, the grand opening will begin with meet-and-greet and then the team will fire up the ‘Big Boys Toys” auction, which will feature numerous classic/sports cars and trucks, motorhomes/travel trailers, classic and compact tractors, motorcycles/ATV’s, boats, pontoons, trailers, lawnmowers and more.
