Sekura Auctions has a long and rich history. Patriarch Wendell Sekura held his first auction in Brooks, Alberta, in 1958. In 1965, Wendell and Helen Sekura moved the family to Drayton Valley, and construction began shortly afterwards on a new auction facility. The first auction was held soon after construction was completed.
In the family tradition, Wendell and Helen’s son, Corey, attended the Western Canada School of Auctioneering in 1984 and graduated youngest in his class at only 15 years of age. In 2003 Corey (CEO & President) and his wife, Lorena, took over the family business. In 2009, Sekura Auctions added a second mart – Triple J Auction in Westlock and 2011, a third mart – Rimbey Livestock Auction Mart.
Over time, livestock auctions ceased to be held in Drayton Valley. Instead, DV became the head office for all Sekura Holdings, Real Estate, and Equipment Auctions. In 2016, Sekura Auctions acquired Team Auctioneers of La Crete and Countryside Auctions of Hines Creek. The company was rebranded as Team Auctions and currently boasts four consignment yard locations – Drayton Valley, Fairview, Taber, and Kamloops.
In 2022, Team Auctions acquired Precision Real Estate Auction and Lambert Premier Auction – helping to grow their presence in the BC market. Team Auctions now hosts a variety of auction types, including Real Estate, Equipment, Retirement, Estate, Relocation, Debt Reduction, Matrimonial, Corporate Restructuring, Partnership Dissolution, Business, Livestock, and Farm Dispersals. In addition, Team Auctions has become a leader in unreserved online timed real estate and equipment auctions in Western Canada.
Team Auction’s success is owed mainly to ongoing community involvement and support. As the driving force behind this successful family-based business, Corey Sekura has built a solid and respected reputation in the community. He is always looking for ways to support local groups and community organizations.
