Estate Sales & Liquidation
On-site estate sales, online auction placement, or a straight cash buyout — whichever nets the estate the most with the least disruption.
Anything with market value is appraised and sold, not dumped. That only works if the valuable items are identified before anything is hauled, which is why we walk the property first.
Can the contents pay for the cleanout?
Sometimes, yes. If a property has enough sellable value — tools, farm equipment, guns, quality older furniture, coins or sterling — liquidating it can offset the cost of clearing the house entirely, and occasionally the estate comes out ahead.
A crew paid by the load has no reason to know that the box of hand planes in the garage is worth more than the truck it would ride to the dump in.
Between our two co-founders, both sides of a property are covered. Adam Greene spent many years in estate liquidation and knows antiques and collectibles well. Daniel Brasuell knows mechanical equipment, tools, tractors and farm equipment, which in our rural market is often the more valuable knowledge on a cleanout.
What usually sells, and what usually doesn't
Usually worth real money: tools and shop equipment, farm implements, guns, cast iron, quality furniture from before 1940, sterling silver, coins, jewelry, quilts, vintage advertising signs, tractors and running equipment of any kind.
Usually worth far less than families hope: china sets and formal dinnerware, "brown furniture" from the 1980s and 90s, upright pianos, collectible plates and figurines, encyclopedia sets, most mass-market antiques.
We say that not to be unkind but because families sometimes delay a closing for months waiting on a price that is not coming.
A paper trail you can hand to anyone
Itemized inventories, appraisal support, documented donations and clean accounting of sale proceeds — the paper trail a court or a beneficiary will actually accept. At handoff, sale proceeds are settled and photo documentation of the finished property is emailed to you.
How it works
- Free walkthrough. We meet you at the property — or work from your photos if you're out of state — and give you a flat written price. No hourly meters, no obligation.
- Sort, save & sell. Family keepsakes, documents and valuables are separated first. Anything with market value is appraised and routed to sale or auction.
- Clear & clean. Everything else is hauled, donated or recycled. The home is left broom-clean and ready for photos, inspection or the next owner.
- Handoff. Keys back, donation receipts in hand, sale proceeds settled, and photo documentation of the finished property emailed to you.
A note for Arkansas properties
Arkansas does require licenses for estate sales, and we don't hold those yet.
Our answer on licensing and insurance spells out where we stand. Local rules vary, so verify what your own project needs.
