We manage the entire process from appraisal to sale. It's a profitable way to clear a property and recoup value from the items that sell, and when the sale wraps up we can clear whatever is left.
Get a Free EstimateHow It Works
You don't have to sort, price, or run anything. We look at what's in the property, appraise and price the items, organize the space, and manage the sale event itself. When the sale is over, the property is ready for the next step, whether that's a listing, a transfer, or a full cleanout.
Every estate is different, so we'll walk the property with you first and tell you plainly what makes sense to sell and what doesn't.
Who We Help
Most estate sales we run are for families settling a loved one's home, and we treat those homes and memories with care. We also work with trust departments in banks, financial planners, real estate agents, and attorneys handling wills, trusts, and estate settlements. In those cases the goal is usually the same: turn the contents into value, then get the property cleared and ready for sale or transfer without a lot of back and forth.
Recoup Value
Where a property holds items with resale value, the proceeds from the sale can offset the overall cost of the cleanout. That's the reason a tag sale is often the better first step. Pieces that don't sell don't go to waste either. We recycle and donate whenever we can, and many of our best finds live on at Simple Treasures, our vintage shop in Sherman Hill.
Need the property empty afterward? Our residential and estate cleanout services pick up right where the sale ends.
What Does It Cost?
We believe in transparent, fair pricing. Every estate is different, so we give you a personalized estimate after we've seen the property.
Pricing depends on the size of the property, the amount and type of items, and whether you want a cleanout after the sale. You only pay for what you need.
When valuable items are present, we consider their potential resale value, which can offset the overall cost.
We'll assess the property and give you a detailed quote with no hidden fees.
