The East L.A. Auction Company
The Torrez Family

The East L.A. Auction Company was established and visioned by Ed Torrez an entrepreneur who felt it was time to set up a local Auction Company and Estate Sale Liquidation Company in East Los Angeles.

Ed attended several auction houses in Los Angeles and Orange County and determined it was time to open a local business to assist those with needs to buy general household items at bargain prices and to help others sell and liquidate large amounts of accumulated personal belongings.
