FRANKLIN, Tenn. -

ServNet announced this week that its membership has reached 30 auctions, thanks to the additions of two locations in the Sunshine State.

Officially joining ServNet at the beginning of this month were Cocoa Auto Dealers Exchange and Sanford Auto Dealers Exchange, which are two central Florida sister auctions owned by Michael Tumminello and Jeff Brody.

“Jeff and I are very pleased that that our facilities have joined the ranks of the ServNet auction group,” said Tumminello. “Associating with the finest independent auctions in the country and the auction owners who contribute so much to our industry is a tremendous honor.

“We’re looking forward to the industry visibility that ServNet is certain to bring to our auctions, as well as the many opportunities we will have to expand the level of service we offer at CADE and SADE,” he stated further.

Sharing more details about these auctions, officials noted that CADE is on the East Coast of the state and was founded in 2007, while SADE was founded in 1991 and is located north of Orlando. CADE holds sales at 4:30 p.m. EST on Thursdays, and SADE hosts 2 p.m. Tuesday sales

“We have reached a historic milestone with the addition of CADE and SADE,” stated ServNet chief executive officer Pierre Pons.

“Thirty locations has always been a target for ServNet, and we are thrilled to arrive at that goal with two auctions with a firm foothold in Florida’s vibrant marketplace,” he continued. “Now 30 members strong and with locations in 23 states, ServNet’s impact on the marketplace reaches from coast to coast: from New England to California, and from Florida to Alaska.”

ServNet president Charles Nichols — who owns BSCAmerica’s Bel Air Auto Auction and Tallahassee Auto Auction — added: “We welcome two great auctions from the Southeast, both known for their commitment to service and dedication to the industry.

“Michael Tumminello and Jeff Brody are strong auction owners who bring a wealth of experience and insight to our table. I look forward to serving our industry with them both,” Nichols noted.
