Motleys Industrial

About us

In 1967, Dick and Pokey Motley began Motley’s Auctions in a Chester, Virginia dairy barn. They continued operations over the years at several locations, including the renowned U.S. Route 1 “Wigwam” in Glen Allen, Virginia, just north of Richmond. The Wigwam auctions continue to be remembered for both the unique items sold and the entertainment value the auctions provided. Motleys now employs over 60 full & part time professionals, dedicated to the auction and appraisal industry, and offers a full array of asset sales, valuations, and management services. With specialized divisions including Real Estate, Industrial, Appraisals, Business & Estate Liquidations and its sister company, Motleys Richmond Auto Auction we are a company that can provide you with solutions for all of your buying or selling needs.
