Estate Sales
Are you a potential client?
Are you dealing with an estate or partial collection of a deceased family member? Are you down-sizing or tired of keeping all those things you inherited 20 years ago and really don't need or like (oops, we finally said it!)
You may be a potential candidate for an estate sale if you fall into one of these categories. The answer is either an email or brief phone call to find out. If you have only a few items to sell or consign sending us digital images is preferred. If you need an entire estate or collection sold it's best to make an appointment for an on-site visit. Before a visit, we ask that you have a general idea of what items family members are keeping so we can have a better understanding of what you need.
