Meet Our Celebrity Auctioneer, LeGrande Serras
LeGrande Serras, third-generation restaurant owner, opened Reel Seafood Co.® of Albany in 1984. His family’s humble beginnings instilled in him the importance of giving back, and for four decades LeGrande has worked tirelessly to support the Capital Region’s thriving arts community and countless human services organizations. Employing his special gift for communication—and some shameless prodding—LeGrande has raised over 22 million dollars as an auctioneer at more than 2000 charity auctions and organizations in the Albany Area. Since selling Reel Seafood Co.® in 2013, LeGrande has expanded his philanthropic efforts. In addition to his many auctioneering gigs, he speaks to the community and professional groups about the critical role that independent businesses play in building a sustainable community.
