Alderfer Auction is looking forward to an exciting 2023. They have opened a second 14,000-square-feet location at 584 W. Swamp Road in Doylestown, Bucks County, Pa. The new building is approximately 14 miles from the companys corporate Hatfield location. Doylestown is a town rich in art, history, and modernism.

The showroom will allow for in-person previews, open valuation days and other events. From the Doylestown location, they will also further establish the regional real estate division. With over 60 years of experience, expertise and relationships with many local artists and collectors in the region, they hope to expand services, while continuing to assist individuals, families, financial institutions, and estate professionals in developing plans for both personal and real estate properties.
