Comprehensive Estate Services
We bring a full network of specialists to every estate resolution engagement. This includes professional appraisers for art, antiques, jewelry, and collectibles, estate sale organizers and online auction coordinators, charitable donation partners with tax receipt documentation, real estate professionals for property valuation and listing, and staging vendors to prepare the home for market. We also coordinate all cleanup, repair, and landscaping work required to bring the property to a sellable condition, managing every relationship and communication so the family does not have to.
- Family Consultation and Planning. We meet with the family or executor to understand the situation, the timeline, any wishes or sensitivities around specific items, and the intended outcome for the property. We then develop a detailed, written action plan.
- Sorting and Inventory. We work through the home methodically, categorizing every item into what will be kept by family members, sold, donated, or disposed of. Sentimental items receive careful, respectful attention throughout this process.
- Valuation and Appraisal. Items with potential monetary value, including art, jewelry, antiques, and collectibles, are assessed and referred to qualified appraisers for formal valuation before any sale or distribution decisions are made.
- Sale, Donation, and Distribution. We coordinate estate sales, online auctions, and charitable donations, managing the logistics of each channel and providing documentation for tax purposes. Items designated for family members are carefully packed and shipped.
- Property Preparation. Once the contents have been resolved, we oversee the cleaning, minor repairs, landscaping, and any staging work needed to prepare the property for sale or new occupancy.
- Real Estate Coordination. For families moving toward a sale, we work alongside your realtor to ensure the property is presented at its best and that all organizational and logistical prerequisites to listing are complete.
