Our Team

Tony Tony Elfelt
Tony was one of the first auctioneers in the State of Minnesota to be licensed by the National Auctioneers Association as a Benefit Auctioneer Specialist. As such, Tony raises money and entertains many types of audiences, such as medical foundations, educational institutions, schools, churches, and the like. In January, 2009, Tony was elected to a three-year term as a director on the board of the Minnesota State Auctioneers Association. He has won a number of first-place awards for his marketing abilities. He is the founder of AAA Auction and Realty, LLC, which is both an auction company and a real estate brokerage. So not only does Tony perform at many galas and benefits, he and the crew at AAA Auction and Realty also conduct numerous on-site personal property and real estate auctions. If that weren't enough, Tony is also a personal injury lawyer. Tony is married to Denise and together they are the parents of Kelly Gorder, Michael Baumann, and Ben Elfelt.
John John Stachowski
John is a highly skilled auctioneer and one of the nicest guys in the business. Not only does he do a great job calling auctions, but he also is the guy who keeps our computers running. John is married to Chris, and when he's not calling an auction, he drives a truck for Lakeville Motor Express, where he has been employed since 1987.
Ben Ben Elfelt
Ben is the youngest member of the AAA Auction team. He graduated from Worldwide College of Auctioneering at age 17. He is currently a student at Anoka Ramsey Community College and he proudly serves as a Seabee in the U. S. Navy Reserve.
Larry Larry Elfelt
Larry is the lead ringman for AAA Auction. He's the guy who hollers "YES!" to acknowledge your bid. He is the conductor who makes sure the auction keeps moving at a good pace. We also rely on Larry to handle any mechanical problems that may arise during the auction. Larry is married to Corinne, and when he is not working for AAA Auction or attending an auction elsewhere, you can find Larry delivering mail in Anoka.
Kelly Kelly Gorder
Kelly is another dependable member of the AAA Auction staff. She is the one I ask you not to talk to during auctions so she can concentrate on accurately recording all of the sale prices and bidder numbers. Kelly and her husband, Dan, have a toddler named Alida. When Kelly is not clerking for AAA Auction, she can be found working as a Speech Language Pathologist for the Anoka-Hennepin School District.
Carl Carl Paige
Carl has more auctions under his belt than any of us. His vast knowledge of collectibles, tools, and equipment has helped us figure out what we are selling on more than one occasion.
Dave Dave Elfelt
Dave is the guy we depend on to manage our various web sites and to take the photographs of the items we sell and sometimes of us too as we are selling them.
Carol Carol Gordon
Carol has been a realtor since 1995, selling hundreds of homes and earning numerous awards and distinctions for her superb real estate sales skills. Carol represents buyers and sellers on behalf of AAA Realty using both traditional sales methods and the auction method. Carol is married to Mike and she is also a valuable member of the auction staff at AAA's personal property auctions.
Mike Michael Baumann
Michael is the newest member of the team and he has done a great job in the office of AAA Auction. He is another person whose vast computer skills help keep us organized. Michael has a seven-year-old daughter named Lucy, and when he is not working for AAA Auction, you can find him working as a graphic artist.
Denise Denise Elfelt
Denise is a valuable member of the office and clerking staff at AAAAuction. She is a professional personal property appraiser, having completed both the National Auctioneers Association's training as a G.P.P.A., and the Continental School of Auctioneering's certification as a C.P.P.A. Denise is married to Tony, and when she's not working for AAA Auction, you can find Denise at the personal injury law office, where she is in charge of medical records.
