Why we wrote it
Most of what is published about estate sales is written by companies trying to be hired, and it shows: it explains why you need help without explaining how the thing actually works.
This is the other kind. It is the information we end up giving families on the phone anyway, written down once so you can read it at your own pace and make your own decision. If you read it and conclude that a sale is not right for your estate, that is a good outcome.
What it is not
It is not legal or tax advice, and it does not pretend to be. Where something is genuinely a question for an attorney or an accountant, the guide says so and points you at them rather than guessing.
It also does not promise what your estate will earn. Nobody can do that honestly before a sale has run, and anyone who offers to is guessing at your expense.
Planning an estate sale?
Tell us where the property is, roughly what's in it, and the date you're working toward. We'll come look, tell you what the estate is realistically likely to do, and put the scope and the rate in writing before you commit to anything.
No cost for the consultation. No obligation to book a sale.
