About Us

“Experience Matters, Let Us Prove It…”

From humble beginnings in 1988, Gatlin Auction has met and embraced the ever changing trends of the auction industry for nearly 40 years!  While establishing and growing the business in Southwest Kansas and Southeastern Colorado, founders Mike and Becky Gatlin, worked hand-in-hand to create a high threshold of customer service, tradition, and integrity in the marketplace.  With Mike’s passing and Becky’s retirement in 2025, their son Lance and his wife Kelly have vowed to keep the legacy of Gatlin Auction alive with the same fundamental values!  

The company’s main office is in Pueblo West, Colorado, giving it a hub to actively meet clients’ needs in a multi-state region.  We strive to meet the expectations of clients and the demanding changes of today’s marketplace.  Gatlin Auction offers not only live auction events, but also internet only auctions and even simultaneous webcasted/live auctions to maximize results for our customers.  From the initial pre-auction contact to the final settlement, Gatlin Auction is a full service auction company offering its professional services in all arenas of the auction industry.  We take pride in helping meet your needs!

Meet Our Team

Lance began in the auction industry the very same day his father did in 1988.  He started out at a young age running sheets when clerking was still done by hand, graduated to a ring-man to catch bids and quickly became a backup auctioneer at the age of 12.  He has been calling bids ever since and is a professional of the trade.  Lance comes with a wealth of knowledge pertaining to the identification and value of merchandise, how to market your assets and maximizing the return of your property to meet your goals.
