Welcome to Arnold’s Auctions — where community, trust, and results come together.
Arnold’s Auctions is proudly owned and operated by Arnold and Kathy Schotte, and we’re thrilled to serve Parkland County and the surrounding areas with professional, friendly, and transparent auction services.
Arnold has called Parkland County home since 2004 and brings both local roots and industry expertise to every auction. His journey began at the Alberta Auctioneer College, where his passion for the craft quickly stood out. Just 13 hours after graduation, Arnold stepped onto the Tyro competition stage in front of one of the toughest audiences in the industry — fellow Alberta auctioneers. From that moment on, he has been committed to delivering confident, engaging, and results-driven auctions.
Over the years, Arnold has successfully conducted and supported a wide variety of auctions, including farm auctions, collector vehicle sales, estate auctions, benefit auctions, and online consignment auctions. Whether you’re selling a single item or an entire collection, our goal is simple: maximize value, minimize stress, and make the process easy and enjoyable for you.
The name Arnold’s Auctions reflects our personal approach. Arnold’s unique name and long-standing presence in the area mean people know exactly who they’re working with. When you choose us, you’re not just hiring a company — you’re partnering with people who stand behind their work and care about your success.
Our mission is to deliver exceptional auction experiences through clear communication, honest practices, and strong relationships. We believe that transparency builds confidence, and integrity builds trust. By fostering open dialogue and positive connections, we aim to create lasting partnerships with residents, businesses, and organizations throughout the Parkland community.
When Arnold isn’t behind the auction block, he also owns Cross-Country Overhead Door and enjoys spending time farming — staying connected to the land and the community we proudly serve.
Our home base holds deep meaning for our family. In 2016, we were fortunate to bring a piece of this heritage land back into our family’s care.
We are fourth-generation farmers in the area, and this land is part of our story. Originally belonging to the Lutz family (Kathy Schotte’s maiden name) since approximately 1912.
Today, we continue to farm this land with an eye toward the future, working toward succession farming so the next generation can carry on the legacy. Just like our auctions, it’s about honoring the past while building something strong for tomorrow.
Thinking about selling? We’d love to talk. Let Arnold’s Auctions put experience, energy, and local dedication to work for you.
