Meet Martin
Martin W. Jurisch
Martin Jurisch, with the firm of Martin Jurisch & Associates Auctioneers/Realtors, has been engaged in the auction, real estate brokerage, and personal property appraisal business on a full-time basis for 50 years. His appraisal expertise spans residential contents, antiques, livestock, farm machinery, heavy equipment, vehicles, firearms, precious coins, and related collectibles.
Over the past decade, Martin has consistently sold an average of $2 million or more annually in personal property, and was a multi-million dollar producer in real estate — surpassing $100 million in real estate sales between 2006 and 2010. He and his firm operate as independent appraisers and auctioneers, and do not buy or sell personal property for their own gain.
Martin currently sells real estate in conjunction with Williams & Williams World Wide Real Estate, covering bank foreclosures across South Dakota, Nebraska, and Montana. He and his wife, Pat, own and operate a working cattle ranch in Meade County, SD.
