George Cunningham
George has been directly involved with the family business since 1984 and is considered the second most experienced auctioneer and appraiser in Arizona (behind only his father, Bob Cunningham.) He is a CAI Certified Auctioneer & Appraiser, Designated Real Estate Broker, Auto Dealer, and Federal Firearms Dealer. George founded AuctionAZ.com in 1998 which has grown to become Arizona’s largest real estate auction company.
Under George’s leadership, C&A was the first in Arizona to have a website, the first to offer online bidding and the first to write its own online bidding software; all less than 4 years after the internet was made available to the civilian public. Although C&A is a local auction and appraisal company, AuctionAZ.com regularly sees visitors from around the globe. C&A has sold assets to buyers in Singapore, Qatar, China, Mexico, and Canada just to name a few. C&A is also the only auction company in Arizona where the owners are also the auctioneers and real estate licensees.
Bob Cunningham
Bob is the most experienced auctioneer and appraiser in Arizona. He grew the business in Arizona by forming relationships with banks and Trustees and became well known for handling bankruptcy auctions.
