ABOUT US
Bringing Buyers and Sellers Together Since 1922
A Family Business, Serving Your Family
The White family has been in the business of bringing buyers and sellers together since 1922 with a business spanning five generations. We are a full service realty, auction, and flea market company that also offers storage solutions, appraisal services and event hosting.
Russell White originally started the auction business in 1922, specializing in agricultural tools and agricultural real estate. In 1927, he began the weekly livestock auction in Brookville.
His son, Stanley White, joined him in 1937, expanding the business to selling residential real estate and personal property estates. They also expanded with two additional livestock auctions in Walton, Kentucky and Rushville, Indiana. After his death in 1959, the company sold the Kentucky and Rushville livestock auctions, continued with the Wednesday livestock auction in Brookville, and concentrated on real estate, antique, and personal property auctions.
In 1968, Dave White (the third generation) entered the business, and after graduating from the University of Kentucky married Franklin County native Paula Applegate. They continued the Wednesday livestock sale, added a miscellaneous auction, and began what has turned into a huge flea market on Wednesday morning. In 1986, they relocated to a 260 acre farm 3 miles south of Brookville on Holland Road, just off of US 52.
Our flea market is every Wednesday from daylight ’til noon (400+ vendors and 6000-8000 customers). The miscellaneous auction is from 11 am- 1 pm, and the livestock auction begins at 1 pm. In addition, we also have a spring and fall consignment farm machinery auction. Our specialty is real estate auctions. We also conduct antique and personal property auctions for individuals and estates.
Jonathan White (Dave and Paula’s son), also a University of Kentucky graduate, joined the company in 2002. He is now working in the family business, as well as George’s Family Pharmacy, after completing his Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) and Masters in Business Administration degrees at the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy.
Andi White (Jonathan’s Wife) joined the company as a Realtor® in 2017. Andi is White Realty’s first certified residential appraiser and first female Realtor®. Andi earned a degree in landscape architecture at UK in 2005, learning skills vital in her endeavors as a Realtor®. She has a keen eye for envisioning changes that other brokers cannot. Andi is a board member of The Franklin County Chamber of Commerce and a former board member of the Franklin County Community Foundation.
