About Us

Sachs 5th Auction

A Family Owned &
Operated Business

The Sachs and Garcia families are long time residents of Valencia County, New Mexico. The Sachs first settled here in the 19th century. In 1953 Pilar Sachs, Grandfather of Lorraine Sachs, opened Sachs Appliance in downtown Belen. Later her father, Marty, took over the business.

Sachs Appliance 1953

In 1998, Lorraine Sachs Garcia along with her husband, Anthony, founded Sachs 5th Auction. They later purchased the building where her father and grandfather had the appliance business.
It is now the home of Sachs 5th Auction, a vibrant auction house.

He enjoys auctioneering when he visits home.

Eloisa is the daughter of Anthony & Lorraine. She is a talented auctioneer and appropriately is a student at USC majoring in Theatre & Cinema with a second major in Leadership.
When home, she adds a lot of spunk and class to the auction, making it even more fun and exciting.
