Estate Liquidation by Immediate Buy-Out / Clean Out

This is the service for you! With immediate buy-out liquidation, one of our appraisers will come to your location and evaluate your assets. We will then make you a cash offer for the entire contents of the estate. If the offer is accepted, we will schedule a date to remove the items from the premises.

The Process
1.) Free Consultation
During this consultation, we will have our team perform a detailed walkthrough of the property with our clients and determine what is to stay and what is to go. We will assess the estate and provide a commission based pricing structure that is agreeable to both parties. We work on a sliding commission based pricing plan that is influenced by the complexity of the estate (i.e. volume of assets) and value of the assets. It is important to note, prior to the free consultation, please do not discard or donate any items. We deem nearly all items as sellable….one man’s junk is another man’s treasure!
2.) Contract
After performing a walkthrough with the client, we will sit down and do an in-depth review of the contract, ensuring the contract is agreeable to both parties and carters to the needs and situations of the client. We then lock in a sales date with the client.
