Welcome

Thank you for your interest and taking the time to learn more about Hiner Real Estate & Auction. Whether you're inquiring as a seller or buyer, we are excited to work with you!



About Us

Owner, Zach Hiner and his wife, Gina along with their four children reside on their family farm in Urbana, IN. Rooted in agriculture, Zach is still actively involved in row-crop farming and enjoys managing a small cow-calf operation at home.


Zach brings over 20 years of experience in the auction and real estate industry, with a specialized focus on agricultural assets. Early in his career, he played a key role in some of the largest real estate auctions in the country. In 2014, Zach expanded his expertise to managing large-scale equipment dealer auctions, building relationships that continue to thrive today. He has since overseen some of the nation's largest farm equipment auctions, along with hundreds of farm retirement sales. A cornerstone of Zach's success is the long-term relationships he builds with sellers—many of which extend well beyond the conclusion of each auction.


As Zach's real estate and auction career continued to grow, so did the Hiner family. In 2015, Gina made the decision to step away from her full-time job to stay home with their children and support Zach behind the scenes. That choice proved to be a pivotal moment, playing a major role in the continued growth of Zach's business. With Gina in the office and Zach working directly with clients, the partnership became a winning combination.


As life naturally evolves, so do businesses. In 2025, Zach and Gina took the next step and officially formed Hiner Real Estate & Auction. The company's foundation will always be honesty, hard work and long, lasting relationships.
