Full-service estate sales
A whole household inventoried, researched, priced, staged, marketed and sold on site over an agreed set of days, with a written settlement at the end.

The same core work sits underneath all of these: sort, research, price, stage, market, sell, settle. What changes is the deadline and who is making the decisions.
Downsizing & senior moves
Moving from a house into a unit or into care. The sale funds the move, and the schedule is built backwards from the move-in date rather than forwards from today.

Inherited estates
An entire life's belongings, often alongside probate, a listing date and family spread across time zones. We handle the contents so you can deal with everything else.
Inherited estates
Relocation & moving sales
A PCS, a job on the mainland, a lease ending. Shipping a household off Oʻahu is expensive and weight allowances have hard limits: most of it is worth more sold here.
Relocation & moving salesNot sure which one
Most estates are more than one of these at once
A parent dies, the surviving spouse moves into care, and the house has to be listed by a date. That is three of the four above. You do not need to pick correctly before calling.
What we need to know first
Where the property is, roughly what is in it, who has authority to authorize a sale, and the date you are working toward.
What we do not need yet
An inventory, a valuation, or a sorted house. Please do not start clearing before someone has looked: it is the most expensive mistake families make.
What you get before committing
A written scope, a schedule, the rate, what is and is not included, the settlement terms, and the unsold-item plan.
Common to all four
What every one of these includes
- Room-by-room sorting of the contents in scope, including drawers, closets and storage, rather than the obvious rooms only.
- Research and pricing against completed sales, with anything outside ordinary household range researched individually.
- Staging so the property can actually be shopped, and photography for the listing.
- Marketing to the dealers, collectors and regulars who follow estate sales weekly, because attendance is what sets the final number.
- A staffed, controlled sale with one entry and exit, a staffed checkout, and small valuables in a supervised case.
- An itemized written settlement: gross sales, the commission, any agreed costs, and the balance owed to you.
What differs between the four is the deadline, who holds authority, and how much of the household is staying rather than selling. The walkthrough establishes all three before anything is written.

When an on-site sale is not the answer
Consignment
Selected items sold over a longer period rather than in a weekend. Sometimes better for specialized pieces where the right buyer is not local.
Outright buyout
A single price for the contents, or part of them. Faster and more certain than a sale, and lower: you are trading proceeds for speed.
Documented donation
For what does not carry resale value but does carry a deduction, with receipts for your records. Often the right ending for part of an estate.
Which of these we handle directly, and which we point you toward, is confirmed at your consultation and set out in your written scope.
