In Loving Memory of Michelle Amlin
Michelle first found interest in the auction business when she bought her first house at a real estate auction and thought it would be a fun business to work in. She got her Real Estate license in 1985 and worked for a local auction company for a few years as a Realtor before deciding to go to auction school in 1992. Michelle packed her bags to head to the American School of Auctioneering in Willard Ohio not yet knowing that she would meet her future husband at auction school! Graduating auction school with an auction license and future husband, they set out to take over the market of real estate auctions. Jack and Michelle founded Amlin Auction in 1995 under the most premier real estate company in Northwest Ohio at the time, Cavalear Realty. Michelle married Jack in May of 1997 and welcomed their son Nick to the auction family in March of 1998. For ten years she revolutionized the auction industry (primarily male dominated) by making a name for female auctioneers and auctioning off hundreds of homes in the area. When Cavalear closed its doors in 2001, Michelle moved to a start-up franchise Re/Max Preferred owned by John Mangas and Kathy Kuyoth. Together with some of Toledo’s best real estate agents they worked their way to the number one real estate company in Northwest Ohio, Top 10 Brokerages Nationwide, and highest productivity per agent in Ohio. Michelle was loved by all and will truly be missed.
