Founder and Team Leader

Nick Pinotti is the founder and team leader of AuctionNow.bid, which was established in 2015 as the designated auction partner for HER Realtors in Columbus, Ohio. Mr. Pinotti’s accomplishments include successfully promoting, managing, and coordinating HER Realtors’ real estate auction events. He has built relationships with receivers, institutions, and over 600 real estate agents within the HER Realtors network. Currently, he manages eight auctioneers and excels at developing an aggressive marketing and media relations campaign that drives exponential growth in assets and the real estate marketplace.

Mr. Pinotti is a motivated achiever with a real estate background that dates back to 1993, when he partnered with Raisin Vista Development Ltd., a real estate investment and property management company. There, he worked closely with real estate investors and both commercial and residential realtors to buy and sell properties. He successfully negotiated numerous contracts for purchase, sale, and lease.

Mr. Pinotti was a member of the 1996 graduating class at the Missouri Auction School and graduated from the World Champion College of Auctioneering in 1999. Both schools awarded him diplomas certifying his completion of the intensive auctioneering course, which included bid calling, public speaking, sales methods and practices, salesmanship, business ethics, and personal development. In 2000, Mr. Pinotti completed the premier auction training program at the Certified Auctioneers Institute, where he developed the skills needed to operate a successful auction business.

Shortly after graduation, he partnered with Rose Premier Auction Group LLC, where he helped the company grow from a startup to a $40 million annual revenue company. The company specializes in premier residential, commercial, builder closeouts, golf courses, and investment properties, as well as building and managing over 100 agent referrals.

In 2006, Mr. Pinotti founded and established the company Max Living Condominiums LLC. Max Living was created to be a brand that everyone recognized and used to purchase, redevelop, and sell apartment buildings that would be converted into condominium units for individual sale. The company completed three projects, encompassing over 100 units, within the Columbus, Ohio, metropolitan area.

In 2007, Mr. Pinotti partnered with Valencia Consultants Inc., a real estate consulting firm. He played a key role in transforming the company into a real estate holding entity that purchases, leases, and sells both residential and commercial properties. Currently, Mr. Pinotti continues his partnership with Valencia, managing a multimillion-dollar portfolio of residential and commercial properties. A notable achievement for Mr. Pinotti and Valencia Consultants Inc. is their partnership with the City of Toledo. The City of Toledo, Ohio, awarded Valencia Consultants 12 contracts to redevelop homes across the city, aiming to stabilize neighborhoods affected by the foreclosure crisis.

Nick Pinotti is a goal-driven performer and experienced business leader with a strong background in real estate, business development, strategic planning, and budget management. He is a member of the National Auctioneers Association, the National Association of Realtors, and the Columbus Board of Realtors. His mission is to serve each client, which he puts into practice in his daily business operations.
