You Deserve Support and Dignity During This Time
This is more than a service, it’s a responsibility that I had experienced with the lost of my loved ones
Hi, I'm Steve and I understand that every estate represents a life, a story, and memories that matter. I have experience the importance of liquidating a state with dignity when my parents past away. The organization and efficiency of the liquidation helped me focus on family needs.
As an Alaskan auctioneer and liquidator, I bring experience, structure, and professionalism to every step of the process. But more importantly, I bring respect.
Every step is handled with care so you can focus on healing and focusing on your loved ones..
My priority is honoring the wishes of the estate while supporting the people connected to it.
You will feel heard, guided, included, and appreciated throughout the entire process.

Handled Estate with Care from Start to Finish
A simple, step-by-step process so you know what to expect.
Set an appointment with us to meet at the sale location. Together we will tour the estate, assess your items, exclude any non-sale pieces and begin to create a custom plan for your sale. At this meeting we will provide a straightforward summary of the estate sale process, discuss post-sale cleanout/donation needs and review our contract agreement.
Step 1.
Free Consultation
At this stage we begin to inventory, sort and price items, requiring all non-sale items to be marked or removed. A detailed sales-plan and logistics are prepared and items deemed to be un-sellable are disposed. Post-sale options for unsold items (including donation, consignment or disposal) are discussed.
Step 2.
Pre-Sale Organization
At this stage our team creates a retail-like presentation with tables, signage and displays to maximize visibility and profitability. We stage and display your items by analyzing current market trends ensuring optimal pricing. At the end of this stage we expertly photograph your sale and create several forms of attractive advertisements promoting your sale to the public.
Step 3.
Stage, Price, Present
We welcome the public, posting sale times and accepting cash, venmo or credit cards—no personal checks. Customers are welcomed to the sale by our team and directed to items locations upon entry.
Step 4.
Conducting the Sale
Post-sale, we ensure all items are collected and removed by buyers. We'll manage unsold items as previously discussed and clear out our tables, signage, and displays, leaving the property "broom swept" clean.
Step 5.
Post-Sale
Within 7-14 business days after the sale, you'll receive a Final Sale Report and payout check. We'll also invite you to share a testimonial about our services at your convenience.

Questions and Answers
An estate sale is a large-scale liquidation of the entire contents of a home. Estate sales are often needed after the passing of loved ones or during major moves and downsizings. Unlike a garage or yard sale, the entire residences is open to customers who experience a retail-like environment in each room. Everything is priced, advertised, and then sold, usually over a three day period.
The only thing you need to do is decide what is and isn’t for sale. After that, the rest is up to us. Remember, you aren’t just hiring us to sell your belongings. We are a service company designed to handle all the details of liquidating an estate, so let us do the work!
No! Our job is to assess the home "as is" and do the work for you. Half open bottles of cleaning supplies, old towels and other surprising items all have value at an estate sale, so let us determine what to keep. Donating or disposing of items away should only be done after the sale.
After the sale, there are many options available. We will be happy to help you make a plan for consignment, donation and/or disposal.
While we can't make any guarantees, our goal is always to make you as much money as possible. We work on commission, so the more money you make the better we all do.
