Estate Liquidation FAQ

Every estate is different. Depending on the size and complexity of the contents, the process may take anywhere from a few days to several weeks. We provide a timeline during the initial consultation.

In some cases, we may make a separate purchase offer for specific items. Purchase offers are completely separate from formal appraisals and estate liquidation services and are based on current market conditions.

We discuss these options with you before the project begins. Depending on your preferences, unsold items may be returned, donated, included in a future sale where appropriate, or disposed of in accordance with our agreement.

Our fees vary depending on the scope of the project, the services required, and the size of the estate. Following an initial consultation, we provide a clear written proposal outlining the services and associated fees.
