Aaron Sholley

Growing up, Aaron Sholley spent every summer in Harpers Ferry. His grandparents moved to Harpers Ferry, WV in the mid-1960s and started the Harpers Ferry Toy Train Museum and Joy Line Miniature Railroad, which is still located on Bakerton Road. He loved visiting his grandparents and absorbed his grandfather’s fascination with trains early in life. His wife and he both were born and grew up in central Pennsylvania. Harpers Ferry and the Eastern Panhandle of WV have always been like his second home. Fifteen years ago, they decided to move here and restore his grandparents’ home and, along with his aunt and Uncle, keep the Train Museum alive.

In 2005 he started his own car auction business. He has been an auto auctioneer in 8 different states and has conducted real estate auctions as far west as California and south as far as Georgia. Success in the auction business is entirely about building good customer relationships, which he carries forward to the real estate business. Personally, he has been on all sides of the real estate business from owner to seller to investor and landlord. Most recently, he has purchased and rented two homes for positive cash flow and plans to purchase more in the future. His wife, Sonya, and he are continually active in their local church. For the last few years, they have taught Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University, which is a course about taking control of our finances, dumping debt, and planning for the future. Sonya and he love classic cars and attend cruise-ins and car shows regularly.

In his spare time, he is also a locomotive engineer for the Strasburg Railroad and the East Broad Top Railroad, both located in Pennsylvania, running steam engines, which he has been running for 20+ years. With his diverse background and interests, he enjoys collaborating with clients from all levels of society to find and negotiate, or to sell your home.
