GADSDEN, Ala., Nov. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- J. P. King Auction Company, the nation's oldest real estate auction marketing firm, announced Joel King has returned to the company as a National Auction Marketing Specialist. King represented the company at their southwest regional office from 2002-2012.

"Joel brings a tremendous amount of experience to the J. P. King team. We're excited to have him representing our clients on a national level, and we know his agricultural experience will contribute to J. P. King's longstanding expertise in that area," said Craig King, president and CEO of J. P. King Auction Company.

In total, he represented his clients with over $30 million in sales, including Red Sky Ranch, a 96-acre property with a five-bedroom home in Lago Vista, Texas, which sold for over $3 million.

King has served many land owners through the auction process, representing them with their farm and land sales with properties that include Wagner Farms, a 2,300-acre recreational property in Tennessee, which sold for $2.3 million and the Fairgrounds Bankruptcy in Craighead County, Ark., which consisted of 11.7 acres and sold for $2.75 million.
