Our Services

Estate Liquidation

We offer Free Consultations and Free Appraisals at our initial appointment. In most cases, we don't require any expenses from our clients and are instead compensated by profit sharing on the proceeds of the sale. This means our success is predicated solely on how well we do for our customers. Our over 45 years of combined experience in the secondary goods market makes us uniquely qualified to bring you top dollar for your items. The ultimate goal of an onsite sale is to empty the house and prepare it for sale or transfer. We do so with honor and respect to your loved one.

We offer a full-service Estate Sale which means we typically don't charge additional fees for clean-outs after the sale as we take pride in making sure the left over items find a good home through donations. What we are unable to donate or give away to the community we strive to recycle as much as possible. Our goal is to be the most environmentally responsible estate sale company in the North Bay.

At our consultation we offer different liquidation options for certain high value antiques and collectibles. Our main goal is to help you with finding the right options and company for the liquidation of the estate. We have many referrals to offer you if we are unable to help you personally.

Full Service  (Including Cleanout)

BuyOut Services

This popular and fast growing Premier service option serves the entire North Bay Area from Marin, Sonoma, Napa to Northern California including Mendocino, Lake, and Shasta Counties.

"Time is money" 

This is a helpful option when time is of the essence or logistical issues prevent an onsite sale. For example limited parking or a HOA that doesn't allow sales. We understand that for our clients donating and recycling can be time consuming and exhausting, especially when there is emotional attachment. 

"The ultimate goal of liquidation, is to empty the property" 

We offer free appraisal and liquidation options for your valuables, antiques, collectibles and household items. After viewing your property and taking photos we next submit an email bid to purchase the agreed upon contents of your home or business based on current market values. We have a simple formula that ensures a fair value that is easy to understand. We wish to have the house or business being emptied in a timely and least disruptive fashion. 

Buy-Outs are a Useful Option when:

• The estate needs to generate an immediate income.

• The residence is a condominium, apartment, or anywhere where estate sales are not permitted.

• The total value of the personal property is not high enough to engage the services of an estate sales company.

• Heirs and other family members decide against having a public estate sale.

• There is not enough time to properly stage an estate or warehouse sale.

• Estate items are located in a storage facility.
