Common first questions
What is estate liquidation?
Estate liquidation is the process of organizing and selling household contents, with a plan for what remains. It may involve an estate sale, online auction, and a separately agreed cleanout, depending on the home and your priorities.
Do I need to sort or clean the house first?
No. Set aside personal documents, photographs, medications, keys, and family keeps. Leave the rest for assessment before donating, discarding, or refinishing items. A fully sorted home is not required.
What does an assessment cost?
The initial estate assessment is free. The work itself is quoted after we understand the contents, property access, deadline, and services needed. Ask for the full scope and fees in writing before deciding.
Can you help if I live outside the Bay Area?
Yes. Tell us who can provide access, who is authorized to make decisions, and how you would like updates. A written keep list and a single family contact make remote coordination easier.
Will everything sell?
No sale method guarantees that every item will sell. The proposal should explain what happens to unsold and uncollected belongings, including any separately quoted removal or donation arrangements.
Do you serve all of Oakland?
We assess properties throughout Oakland, including Rockridge, Montclair, Piedmont Avenue, Grand Lake, Temescal, Glenview, and the Oakland hills. Share your neighborhood and any stairs, parking, or building restrictions when you contact us.
Is this a formal appraisal?
No. A sales assessment considers the practical options for selling household contents. A valuation for probate, taxes, insurance, or another formal purpose requires the appropriate qualified professional.
