Experiences With Green & Cate
I can’t say enough about this thoughtful company. Selena provided spreadsheets regarding items sold, and David stayed in close communication about furniture and other pieces. Nick even located a priceless genealogy book I thought was lost. They worked tirelessly, were respectful of our belongings, and their kindness was endless.
Their signage and website advertisements were excellent. They conducted a three-day sale, followed by a recycling sale that netted us more money, and handled cleanup completely. I received a check and donation receipts, and they even identified items that could still be repaired and sold.
They treated me like family. Selena and David are angels.

Green & Cate handled my brother’s estate with professionalism, efficiency, and compassion. They were immediately available for a consultation and scheduled the sale within a week. From a packed garage and attic to careful staging inside the home, everything was sorted, researched, and thoughtfully priced. Their knowledge across tools, art, vehicles, and vintage items was impressive.
They managed environmental disposal responsibly, maintained clear boundaries for buyers, and left the house empty and broom-swept within seven days. Communication was honest and consistent throughout, and when a small issue arose, it was resolved quickly and professionally.
They turned a difficult, overwhelming situation into a well-organized and successful sale.

I have been to many sales held by this company and the owners have always been so helpful and attentive to details. if you ever have a chance to go to one of their sales, do not miss it. I went to the sale last weekend on a very narrow road with many driveways. There was a helpful young man ensuring folks didn't park on the narrow road and let me know the organizers had a shuttle running for those of us unable to make the walk to the sale. This house was packed with so many wonderful items! They were organized and displayed beautifully. I bought too much and did use the shuttle to haul my treasures back to my car. While I was inside the sale I heard a woman was upset about the efforts to reduce traffic. Another woman, who claimed to live in the street, was saying that she appreciated the efforts made to keep nonresidents off the narrow drive.— Mr. L.I'm a Real Estate agent who hired Green and Cate to handle the liquidation of an estate in Healdsburg for a client. We were extremely pleased with the entire process. They spent two weeks sorting, organizing, researching, and pricing in advance of what was a 4 day sale. They stayed in close contact with us through out the entire process, and provided detailed daily updates during the sale. After the sale was over they spent two days systematically disposing of the leftover items, and turned the house over to us empty and clean! They are knowledgeable and efficient, and have a passion for what they do. My client especially appreciated that they treated her mother's estate items respectfully and had compassion for how difficult the process was for my client. We highly recommend Green and Cate to anyone needing an estate liquidated.-Kathy L.
This is a family run business and without doubt run their business with integrity empathy and respectfulness. I have been to hundreds of estate sales and I have seen how impeccably this company from start to finish does an amazing job. They are full of compassion and it shows. They run a very tight ship and you could tell they work very hard to make sure that they do their best for whomever hires them. I've seen many other businesses in the same field take advantage of many people and I know for a fact that if you would put your estate or downsizing needs in the hands of Green and Cate you will be not only thrilled with their work but realize how much integrity and respect they have for their job and making sure they do the best for you . Hands-down this is the best company that I know in Northern California without a doubt!— Denise P.After the sudden passing of my mother, I was referred to Green & Cate to handle her estate. Their guidance was steady and reassuring from the beginning — especially their advice not to throw anything away. They uncovered value in items I would have discarded, and the sale exceeded expectations. Their knowledge, organization, and professionalism made a difficult time much easier. The house was left completely empty, and everything was handled with care and transparency. I recommend Green & Cate without reservation.
