Services

Local, full-service estate liquidation for families, trustees, and executors.

Estate Liquidation

Estate sale is a simple process. We will prepare, price, and advertise before conducting a sale. The main goal is to attempt to sell all contents of your estate expeditiously and advantageously. All the other necessary steps involved are there to help achieve this goal.

Free Estate Consultation

There is no charge for the initial evaluation of the estate site and contents, plus estate sale consultation. Please do not throw anything away.

Advertising

In order to generate the maximum number of potential buyers, we advertise your estate sale through several venues including:

• Posting the sale on our own website
• Posting ads on estate sales news websites with the most frequent visitors
• Forwarding sale information to potential buyers on our mailing list
• Posting ads in local newspapers if necessary
• Posting signs to direct potential buyers to the estate site during the sale

Pricing

We will appraise the contents of your estate and tag them with prices. If necessary, we will contact outside experts to authenticate and/or appraise an item. Your input on items’ history and original prices is always welcomed. Given that the goal is selling all items expeditiously and advantageously, pricing should give current market value great consideration.

Preparation & Staging

In some cases, the contents of your estate can remain where they are with only minor adjustments. However, more often, extensive rearrangement is necessary to make items more visible and accessible. We will sort, organize, and stage the contents of your estate for the sale. Any items you wish to exclude will be selected and marked. If we discover any item of sentimental value — such as family photos — we will consult you.

Conducting the Sale

After all preparation and staging is completed, we’ll conduct the estate sale on a predetermined and well-advertised date. We will work with potential buyers to maximize sales and ensure they don’t leave empty-handed. We can also provide an itemized list of items sold upon request.

Cleanup & Disposal

After the sale ends, if any items remain unsold, we can help arrange:

• Leaving items to be removed later by you
• Charity donation
• Professional haul-away services

We can help facilitate charity donations and professional haul-away, leaving the premises broom-clean.
