Timing
Most engagements need two to four weeks from intake to sale. Court, closing, or listing deadlines should be shared at intake so the schedule can be built around them.
Process
Six steps. Every date in writing.
1
Professional Intake
We collect the estate posture — probate or trust status, decision-maker, property timeline, and any court or listing deadlines.
2
Walk-Through & Written Scope
Contents reviewed in person or by documented photo intake. Scope, sale format, commission, and schedule issued in writing.
3
Sorting & Keepsake Protection
Designated keepsakes, documents, and personal papers separated first and handled as directed.
4
Research, Pricing & Staging
Items researched and priced, rooms staged for the sale format, and advertising prepared.
5
Sale & Removal
Sale conducted on the agreed dates. Purchased items removed on schedule; unsold items handled as the agreement directs.
6
Itemized Settlement
A written settlement statement with gross proceeds, agreed fees, and net, delivered to the fiduciary of record.
Cost
Commission-based, quoted in writing after the contents are reviewed. There is no charge for the initial professional consultation.
