Beverly P. Harper
Office Manager
Beverly is the other half of Harper Auction and Realty. Beverly has supported Mike in his love of the Auction Business, and encouraged him in establishing his own Auction and Realty Company. Beverly holds a BA in Clothing & Textiles from UNC- Greensboro, and holds a SC Real Estate License. Beverly is the office Administrator who “makes the trains run on time” at HA&R. Beverly is our Vice President of “NO”, meaning she has veto authority over wild ideas and over- exuberance until she is convinced of the feasibility of the idea or the project. This is a much-needed function in any successful business venture!
