Shawn Willard, CAI
Auctioneer & Real Estate Broker
H. Barry Smith Realtors and Auctioneers

I am in year 20 in the auction industry and have been a member of the KAA for 18 years.

Barry Smith (my grandfather), Bill Willard, and my uncle/business partner Jimmy Willard have all been mentors and huge supporters of my auction career.

My hometown is Shelbyville, Ky and my favorite auction memory was my first real estate auction it sold 15% higher then what the seller expected and at the end of the bidding, she came up and gave me a big hug. I'll never forget it.

My company specializes in real estate, farm, and farm machinery auctions along with estates. Achieving the CAI designation in 2015 was a career-changing achievement and following up with getting the AMM designation in 2017 was also a boost to my professional development. I was elected onto the KAA board of directors in 2017, which was a big honor and I am still a director to date on the KAA board.

The future I see for myself in the auction business is fine-tuning my specialties in real estate auctions and mentoring a new generation of auction professionals to keep my company and legacy moving forward in a professional manner.

KAA Note: Thank you for your 20 years of service in the KAA, you've done a great job helping grow our industry and association. ... See MoreSee Less
