What is an estate sale?

An Estate Sale is a method of liquidating belongings of a family or estate. They are typically used when someone must move, downsize, or in the case of divorce, bankruptcy, death, etc.

What is the process of an estate sale?

The home is staged by the firm handling the sale and belongings are priced and displayed for purchase. Then the public is invited into the home and given the opportunity to purchase the goods. Often children are not allowed nor are backpacks or large bags to protect the estate from shrinkage.  Additionally, because the estate sale is posted in local periodicals and on-line usually people will line up early to be part of the first groups to have the opportunity to review and purchase items for sale.  It is common that antique dealers, vintage collectors, and other professionals local to the property will be first in line.  Sometimes numbers will be given out so there is no confusion who was there first. It is typical to find furniture, art, clothing, rugs, estate jewelry, fine jewelry, coins, kitchen items, bar ware, books, bedding, electronics, tools, automobiles, classic cars, sports memorabilia, Hollywood memorabilia, vintage gold Rolex watches, and more.

What is an estate auction?

An Estate Auction is where everything is auctioned instead of being sold locally.  Northern California Estate Sales and Auction Company has special expertise in this area as they have long term international contacts that expose estates to millions of buyers for maximum return rather than just local buyers.

Immediate sales

Occasionally there are circumstances where clients do not have the benefit of time for various reasons including emergencies.  When this occurs Northern California Estate Sales and Auction Company utilizes contacts that will purchase entire estates or individual items immediately.
