Over the 12 years Marshall Auctions has grown to be the largest auction company on the Delmarva Peninsula. In Mid 2008 Dave Allen and Doug Marshall decided the only way to effectively manage the company's growth was to split the business into two divisions (one division for Real Estate and the other for Personal Property).

The Division was completed in November 2008 and Dave Allen established Allen & Marshall Auctioneers and Appraisers, LLC. Dave Allen owns/heads the Personal Property Sales & Appraisals end of the business. Doug Marshall owns/heads the Real Estate end of the business with Marshall Auctions & The Porter Marshall Group.

In 2005, Dave attended the prestigious Mendenhall School of Auctioneering where he earned the years "best all around" and "most likely to succeed" awards. He has certainly proved worthy of these rewards selling millions of dollars of personal property and developing intense product knowledge and a distinctive client service. Now the leading personal property auction company on the shore, Allen and Marshall Auctioneers looks forward to continued growth.
