About Us-Meet the Family

Our thirty-acre state-of-the-art facility might be new to Larchwood, Iowa, but our roots here are not. Born and raised in Northwest Iowa, Auctioneer Craig Olson has over 25 years of experience all over the US as well as internationally. We are believers in the small midwestern community from where we are from, and to where we have returned.

We are a family owned and operated business with a strong sense of community, values steeped in honesty and integrity and our good ol' midwestern work ethic. Craig works alongside his wife and high school sweetheart, Susan, most commonly known as "Perzi," who has clerked and overseen auction offices since the late 1980's. With a background in advertising and design, she is also MAC's public relations director.

Curt Olson is Craig's eldest son and is also an auctioneer working mostly in Arizona, California and Iowa. He is currently the break auctioneer and account executive assisting sellers and provides pre and post-sale support.

We're not exactly sure George Dieters, MAC's Area Manager, is actually related to the Olson clan...but he's family just the same. George is the resident go-to guy and is also from the area.

Aric Olson is the baby of the family, but already a ten-year veteran ring man. At just sixteen years old, Aric looks forward to spending next summer in Mason City, Iowa where he will attend The World Wide College of Auctioneering and will join the auctioneer ranks alongside his brother and father.

Becky Heggen is MAC's office manager and the other resident go-to-gal. She's usually the first friendly voice on the other end of the phone when you call the office, or the first one you see when you swing in to say hi.

Oriana (Olson) Groppetti has taken the reins as the advertising and media coordinator. Located in Visalia, California with her husband and two daughters, Oriana is the eldest of Craig and Pezi's three children. With a little of her father's business sense and her mother's creative talents, she has formed a graphic design company, Market with a G which has taken responsibility for all of MAC's web, print and media design and placement.

Larry Risseeuw recently joined the MAC Family as full time outside salesmen. Hey, it beats making license plates!

We aim to be the midwest's premiere full-service auction company specializing in agricultural and construction equipment and real estate sales, and we know we are not the only choice you have. We know all that differentiates us from the competition is our service. That's why we operate with the mind set, "If you have the time to do it a second time, you have the time to do it right the first time." We stand behind our work, and aim to give you second-to-none service.
