ABOUT

According to all of Jack’s family, friends, and teachers, he has had the voice of an auctioneer ever since he was a young boy. Jack grew up on a farm going to cattle and farm auctions all his life and always liked being the center of attention. During his time at The Ohio State University, Jack was a Disc Jockey for several weddings, parties, and an occasional local radio station. After college, he decided to go to auction school at the American School of Auctioneering to be a cattle auctioneer in his hometown of London, Ohio. His first day of auction school he laid eyes on Michelle at which some say was love at first sight. When asked to introduce himself to the class he stood up said “My Name is Jack Amlin, I am young, single, wealthy and have a great sense of humor.” Failing to check his bank accounts ahead of time, Michelle was hooked. After graduating Auction school in 1992, he left his small-town life to move to the big city of Toledo with Michelle and her son Greg, to sell real estate at Auction. In his first couple years in the business, he had worked his way to the top of his real estate company in sales primarily in real estate auctions and was fitting in as if he were a Glass City Native. In 1995, Jack along with his future wife Michelle, founded Amlin Auction at Cavalear Realty. He has become the go to guy amongst realtors in Northwest Ohio due to his honest and his challenging work ethics. In May of 1997, Jack married Michelle gaining his new stepson Greg. They have another son, Nick, who is also working in the auction business. In 2001, after Cavalear closed its doors, Jack took over the auction department at The Danberry Co. Heading off in separate direction than his wife Michelle, people began to question his relationship status but together Jack and Michelle took over the two largest real estate companies in Northwest Ohio making it the smartest business move they have ever made. Jack has been a phenomenally successful Realtor/Auctioneer earning several designations and awards. He is earned his CAI (Certified Auctioneer’s Institute) the professional designation awarded to practicing auctioneers who meet the experiential, educational and ethical standards set by the NAA and its Education Institute. He also has earned his AARE – Accredited Auctioneer in Real Estate. Jack was awarded the 2012 Toledo Board of Realtors Citizen of the Year Award. Jack is also the 2016 President of The Toledo Regional Association of Realtors. In addition to conducting more than two hundred real estate auctions a year, he does several charity auctions because he feels extraordinarily strong about giving back to the community.
