When it comes time to handling someone’s estate,
it might be overwhelming. Your dilemma might also
be time and distance to accomplish the needed downsizing
and dispersing of the estate. Others may not be
able to emotionally handle the enormity of what
stands before them, or the loss they have just suffered.
This is where we can assist you. Throughout the
liquidation process, we will treat your home and
contents with respect and care. We understand that
you are not only liquidating personal property,
but that you have memories associated with many
of the items sold.
Our services include on-site organizing, pricing,
and displaying items for the sale. Special attention
is given to major items that are deemed antiques
and/or collectibles. The sale is held in the home
which is controlled by our staff for sales and security.
Bids can be taken on items and will be accepted
if they fall within the item’s price range.
We advertise in local newspapers, on
the internet, and we mail flyers and postcards to
our regulars and hundreds of others from our
mailing
list. We will record all sales and reconcile the
cash results. We will arrange for the sale and/or
disposal of any left over items.
If real estate is to be sold, we will prepare
the home for sale. This will vary from cleaning
to painting and repair. This work is billed on an
hourly basis based on the extent of the work and/or
repairs.
Norm Wilken, co-owner, is our real estate
broker. We can then maximize the marketing exposure of your
home through the local MLS, the internet, and the
estate sale when appropriate. At closing, a qualified
real estate attorney will close the property.

We will come to the home/estate and examine and
inventory the property requested. We will conduct
market research of your items. Research is done
using comparables of same age and condition and
investigate local market trends, auction sale results
or other factors to determine the value of your
items.
We can usually submit an average appraisal report
within 2-3 weeks. If there are rare items, the process
might be longer. We can provide appraisals in written
or typed form for your items. We can provide complete
and reliable information at a realistic cost. Our
appraisals will include an insurance value and an
estimated sale price.
If you have items that you would like to sell,
but not enough for an estate sale, we can sell these
items for you via consignment and place them on
online auctions. We have extensive experience selling
on these sites and know the best ways to market your items
online.
We have had incredible success with our internet
auction sites and
have a 100
% positive feedback rating. This means that 100%
of our buyers were completely satisfied! Our clients
have benefited as well. We have had great success
in getting maximum dollars for items that might
seem ordinary to some, but are highly sought after
treasures by avid collectors. There is no additional
charge to place an item in our online sales. Our
contract commission covers this service.
