A proud Georgia Southern University graduate (Class of 2002), Alex Grovenstein spent 12 years in communications and non-profit development before transitioning to the auction industry in 2014. Quickly mastering the business, he recognized the power of the auction as a method to serve a wide range of clients. In 2015, he expanded his expertise by obtaining his real estate license, further enhancing his ability to assist buyers and sellers.

With more than a decade of experience in the auction industry, Alex has managed hundreds of personal property and estate auctions, handling everything from collectibles to industrial equipment. His extensive knowledge of asset classes, combined with his USPAP-compliant appraisal training, allows him to provide accurate valuations for business assets and personal property. Whether overseeing high-profile sales or rolling up his sleeves to get the job done, Alex brings professionalism, experience, and a hands-on approach to every auction.

Deeply connected and committed to his community, Alex is a past president and active member of the Kiwanis Club of Statesboro, a former board member of the Statesboro-Bulloch County Chamber of Commerce, a former Boy Scout volunteer, and has served on numerous local boards and committees. He and his family are active members of Brooklet Community Church. Alex resides in southern Bulloch County with his wife, Angela, and their two sons, Davis and Murphy.
