COMPANY PROFILE
It's the right thing to do...
In 1964, when Richard Kurtz was in 7th grade, he went to work at the family business, McGann-Kurtz Furniture in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Nothing was more important to Richard's father than reputation. He knew that if he took advantage of anyone, or tried to squeeze a few extra dollars out of a sale, people would take their business elsewhere. Work hard, do the right thing and do it well was his formula for success. Richard Kurtz and his team believe that's a tradition worth following as they serve clients throughout the upper Midwest.
​
Quality people… Some liquidators will descend on their clients with an army of people, each of them vying for their cut. A large sales force does not ensure large sales. On the contrary, Richard's formula for success takes the less is more approach. A small, extremely skilled crew, including your top sales leaders, provides better service to you, the client and your customers. Kurtz Sales' people know they are going to work hard, and they know they will be rewarded.

What kind of man is Richard?
Todd, a former furniture store owner who selected Kurtz Sales to run his going out of business sale, said this about Richard, "He's a fair person, the most honest guy I've ever met, and he really knows this business." That's high praise in any industry, but especially in one where that level of integrity and knowledge is so rare.
​
Mike, the top salesman from a store Richard helped liquidate, said, "Richard has a true concern for the client. It's a tough market and smaller dealers are having a difficult time. They are nervous. But when Richard's people come in, they see that he's there to help."
