Whitney Wade

Whitney Wade, a professional auctioneer, and the youngest of the Wade’s Auction Service team, has grown up in the auction business and is now a strong contributor to a family of auctioneers. Whitney learned to become an auctioneer while working with her father from age one, packing and unpacking boxes, holding items up to be sold, greeting customers, and bringing a sense of youth to each auction. Whitney often visited livestock auctions with her mother and father, worked charity events, and accompanied her father to client meetings. Whitney is a licensed Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Alliance Realty in West Virginia.
Whitney is also a Realtor with Oliverio Realty when she’s not working for the family business

This early exposure helped to develop her love of the auction industry, and it soon became a foregone conclusion that she would opt for a degree dealing with people, auctioneering, and estates. With the help of her father, she graduated from the Mendenhall School of Auctioneering in 2016, in High Point, North Carolina at the young age of 14. She has a genuine respect and love for people, bringing integrity and ethic to the team. She is currently a student studying business and plans to attend West Virginia University College of Law. Whitney graduated from West Virginia University with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a minor in Communications.

Being an auctioneer’s daughter encouraged her to love more than bid calling – she now wears many hats. She is a marketer, bid caller, humanitarian, realtor, problem solver, liquidator, and appraiser. She has a strong love of her community.

Whitney has always had an interest in supporting charitable events and auctions, holding her very first benefit auction at Suncrest Middle School as an eighth grade auctioneer. She works behind the scenes of the business with accounting and record keeping. Whitney helps with set-ups, pick-ups, advertising campaigns, kitchen management, and much more. Over the past 16 years, Whitney has already learned enough to progress towards becoming an ambassador in the industry and a leader to many.

Carl Felosa, Jr.

Carl Felosa Jr. is a lifelong resident of Shinnston, WV. He provided for his wonderful family by “retiring” twice after a 40-year career as a coal miner for Consol Energy, including several supervisor/foreman positions. His aforementioned family includes his lovely wife of 50 years, Susan. The couple have two sons, Stephen C. (49) and Patsy J. (43). Patsy has two daughters, who are the apple of pap pap’s eye.

Carl Jr.’s interest in auctions began with his late father, Carl Sr., taking him and his older brother, Joseph Anthony, to stock and auction sales in their youngster days. J. Anthony would carry his passion a step further, as he became a certified auctioneer after a full career as a telecommunications specialist. J. Anthony served as Tom’s mentor.

In addition to serving as an auction setup and ringman, Carl Jr. worked as a meat cutter and on several construction jobs. As he was fueling America with coal, his other passion for rebuilding and selling cars would later fuel a business, Salvage Unlimited, Inc. This venture was also shared with his brother, J. Anthony.

Over the course of three decades, Carl Jr. would assist his brother with hundreds of estate auctions. After the passing of his brother in 2004, Carl Jr. continued his auction service and has worked with Wade’s Auction Service ever since.

In his spare time, Carl Jr. works as a meat cutter at Maple Valley Meat Market in Bridgeport and a doorman at Perine’s Funeral Home in Shinnston. Further, Carl Jr. enjoys hunting and fishing as hobbies.
Carl Jr. honors his Italian heritage as a board member and street organizer for the West Virginia Italian Heritage Festival in Clarksburg. In his 20 years on the board, he has earned the title “Boardman of the Year” three times.
