Estate Services

Losing a parent or family member is hard enough without also having to figure out what’s actually valuable in a house full of a lifetime’s belongings. I’ve run over 350 estate sales and walked through more than 11,000 properties since 1975. I never assume a property lacks value — I go through it all.

Free Verbal Appraisals

Free in-hand appraisals whenever there’s a buying opportunity. Written, certified appraisals start at $185 for the first hour, $85 each additional hour, for a full itemized market valuation.

Estate size or a single item — free verbal appraisals either way. I buy coins, jewelry, sterling, toys, comics, and collectibles directly, across nearly every category.

Estate Sales & CleanOuts

Prices depend on your unique situation. Often I’ll pay you, and sometimes you’ll pay me to clear it out.

It’s the fastest way to get a house cleaned out and ready for sale — or make a “pick,” buying just the items of interest without taking on the whole property.

Auctions & Consignments

Commissions typically run 35–50% for full estate liquidations. I have strong relationships with several auction houses and can often negotiate a lower cost. Consignments are reserved for the right pieces.

Best for estates with marketable, in-demand antiques, tools, cars, and heavy equipment — I can arrange an onsite auction or facilitate an in-house sale.

For Out-of-State Families

If you’re handling a parent’s estate from another state, I know you often can’t be there in person — and you probably need the house emptied fast, or the valuables sold and the rest gone, without flying in every step of the way. I work with families like this directly: by phone, video call, or written report, whatever fits your timeline. I’ll tell you plainly what I find and what I’m able to buy.

For Attorneys, Realtors & Estate Professionals

If you’re coordinating an estate on a family’s behalf, I work directly with you — appraisals, buyouts, or full cleanouts, on your timeline and your client’s terms. Call anytime to talk through a property before it goes to market.

A Note on Value

I’ve seen too many families assume a house is “just furniture” and skip the walkthrough — only to find out later something significant got donated or trashed. I always look before I assume. It costs nothing to have someone experienced take a real look.
