How estate liquidation works

Five steps from the first call to an empty house. You decide whether to go ahead only after you’ve seen the plan in writing.

  1. Call or send the form

    Tell us where the property is, what is happening and when it needs to be ready. You don’t need to know the right way to sell yet. The first conversation is about your priorities and whether a walk-through makes sense.

  2. The walk-through

    We look at the belongings, their condition, access, family keepsakes and the scope of the work. Tell us about any formal appraisal you need or decisions still waiting on family or legal approval; a sale assessment doesn’t replace those steps.

  3. The written proposal

    It sets out the recommended way to sell, the fees, preparation, pickup arrangements and what happens to anything left. You decide whether to go ahead after reading it. Asking for an assessment doesn’t commit you to the work.

  4. Preparing and selling

    Once you approve the scope, the work can include organizing, photographing, cataloging, pricing and presenting the contents. Excluded items stay separate, and we work around the property’s access and schedule.

  5. Pickup and handover

    Buyer pickup, unsold belongings and any separately agreed clearing follow the written plan. We confirm the final condition of the property with you, and the agreement explains when you receive the final statement and proceeds.

A neighborhood and a way to reach you is enough to start. We’ll follow up by phone or email.
