David and Selena Green met in 2018 and married on August 8th, 2020. Selena, and now David, have worked the last 5 1/2 years in estate liquidation and have hosted over 100 onsite and offsite Estate Sales in Northern California.
Their passion in estate liquidation is to help preserve history by saving items from being lost or thrown away. There are stories in every item in a home and we want to learn those from our clients and share those with out customers. This is a business where stories matter. We sometimes refer to the buying side from our customers as a “soulful shopping experience.”
Selena Cate Green has spent over 3 decades honing her skills through antique curating, thrifting, merchandising, creative writing and interior design. She grew up on an olive farm in the north valley of California.
Her father, a self made inventor, was a great inspiration for her as she watched him build things for the farm from cast off junk from the local landfill. She would wake up at 5 am to travel with him to a car swap meet where he would search for parts for his Ford Model T that he was building from the ground up. Secondhand shopping is in her blood. She has been an entrepreneur since she was 8 years of age when she had her own “Do It All Shop” selling wares and services to her encouraging parents.
She loved the excitement of treasure hunting from an early age. In her late 20’s she spent half of a decade in Europe where she began to work on furniture design and restoration. She traveled throughout Europe shopping at Flea Markets and Antique stores in search of furniture to restore.
She is an avid researcher and rarely leaves any stone unturned when staging and preparing for an estate sale. If she can’t figure out what something is, she turns to online experts from all over the globe and local experts for assistance until she can figure it out.
David Green brings many specialities to this business. He spent quite a few years in the Bay Area working as a photographer and took photos all over the west coast of America. Quite a few of these are on display in our showroom in Sebastopol. He has a lot of experience selling cameras and equipment in a shop on Market Street in San Francisco. He also has sold at Flea Markets and Camera Shows for over 4 decades. His favorite area of expertise though is in motorcycles and vintage automobiles.
