or Marla Oglesby, being a “Woman to Watch” means she now has a platform to educate the public about the auction industry. Atterberry Auction & Realty Co., can be of help to anyone faced with relocating, downsizing, settling estates for their family, and so on. “My goal or passion with my career is to help others,” she says. Oglesby says many people have misconceptions about her company. “This business isn’t about standing in the yard for a live auction or selling a home that’s in foreclosure or has major issues. It’s not just about selling grandma and grandpa’s old collection of antiques. We can sell pretty much anything in any price range. We can sell real estate and personal belongings online and reach potential buyers worldwide — in return gaining more return for our sellers.” She says her proudest moment was obtaining her Missouri real estate broker license. It was something she never dreamed would be a career for her. “It was a huge challenge for me but I’m thankful I pushed through and didn’t give up,” she says. She counts her husband Nathan and two children, Kenlee and Jacob, as blessings who are always there to support and encourage her in her career. Post-pandemic, she’s very thankful for technology, saying, “it allowed us to continue business pretty much as normal with the ability to continue working, even if it was from home and being able to still hold online auctions for our clients.” She’d like readers to know about a new service they’re offering, Senior Transition. Senior Transition was developed for elderly homeowners to make a smoother move as they age. These services can include downsizing or making the move to an age-in-place community. If you or someone you know would like to learn more about this service, please reach out to Marla for more information.
