About Atlantic Asset Management Group
Four Decades of Auction Expertise. One Boutique Firm Dedicated to Your Results
Since 1979, Atlantic Asset Management Group (AAMG) has delivered trusted auction and asset management services throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. Fully licensed and bonded since inception, AAMG was founded by William J. Summs, Sr., a CAI-certified auctioneer whose leadership and experience have guided the company for over forty years.
Headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia, Atlantic Asset Management Group, Inc. is your trusted professional auction and asset management services provider. Since 1979, our fully licensed and bonded full-service auction firm has specialized in maximizing value for commercial and residential real estate, foreclosures, REO properties, machinery, vehicles, and other high-value assets. Whether you need an online auction, on-site sale, or private treaty transaction, our experienced team delivers results with integrity, precision, and reach.
As an approved contractor for the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and the FDIC, Atlantic Asset Management Group (AAMG) has built a national reputation as an award-winning auction and asset management firm. Whether handling a lender foreclosure, court-ordered sale, or private treaty transaction, AAMG delivers trusted expertise and results that move assets quickly and profitably.
What started as a government-asset and lender-based auction service has evolved into a regional powerhouse specializing in commercial and residential real estate, business assets and equipment, and estate liquidations.
We conduct multi-property auctions and stand-alone auction events throughout Coastal Virginia, Richmond, Williamsburg, Washington, D.C., Maryland, and North Carolina—attracting qualified buyers and creating competitive bidding environments. With our proven accelerated marketing programs, we help clients maximize value, reduce holding costs, and sell with confidence.
We help property owners, business leaders, and estate representatives turn complex assets into successful auctions.
With decades of experience and a proven sales process, we make liquidating assets
straightforward, transparent, and rewarding.
At Atlantic Asset Management Group (AAMG), our proven marketing process begins 4–6 weeks before your auction, leveraging a strategic blend of targeted advertising to attract serious, qualified buyers and generate strong competition. From our corporate headquarters in Norfolk, Virginia, our in-house marketing experts craft a dynamic campaign that includes high-circulation newspapers, industry trade publications, leading real estate websites, and high-impact social media promotion.
Every marketing plan we build is designed specifically for your property, your timeline, and your success. We reach tens of thousands of active buyers and brokers across the Mid-Atlantic region and beyond. Following The AAMG Way, we streamline the process by conducting comprehensive due diligence—gathering tax records, appraisals, assessments, and surveys—so buyers have everything they need to act fast. The result? Your property stands out as a transparent, well-documented, and ready-to-purchase opportunity that drives top-dollar results.
Our Property Information Packages (PIPs) set the industry standard for real estate auction transparency and buyer convenience. Every detail a buyer needs is available instantly — just a click away — making our PIPs the benchmark in professional auction marketing.
Our auction marketing campaigns build momentum from day one, leading up to an engaging, well-organized, and professionally managed auction event where bidders compete with confidence. Whether your property sells on auction day or afterward, AAMG’s commitment continues — our team works directly with qualified bidders or transitions seamlessly into a traditional sales strategy to close the deal efficiently.
With AAMG’s proven process, your property gets maximum exposure, buyer engagement, and results that last beyond the auction.
- The AAMG Way
Unlike large multi-division firms or national franchises, Atlantic operates as a deliberately boutique firm. Every client works directly with senior-level professionals who understand the market, the buyers, and the transaction process.
We call this approach ‘The AAMG Way’—and it provides three distinct advantages:
1. Deep Market Intelligence – Four decades mastering the Mid-Atlantic market means we know where true value lies and how to reach qualified buyers fast.
2. Personal Accountability – Every project receives focused, principal-level attention from start to finish.
3. Agility – Without the bureaucracy of large firms, we adapt quickly, customize strategies, and make fast, informed decisions.
Proven Track Record
Recognized nationally as an award-winning auction and asset management firm, AAMG conducts regular multi-property auctions throughout the Mid-Atlantic. The firm serves as an approved contractor for the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and FDIC, and has successfully sold properties and business assets for numerous federal agencies and private entities.
All appraisal work conforms to USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice), reflecting the company’s unwavering commitment to accuracy, transparency, and integrity.
