Living Estate Sales in West Michigan

A living estate sale lets you sell what you no longer need while you are still here to decide what happens to it. It is the gentler way to downsize.

What is a living estate sale?

A living estate sale is a sale of a household's belongings while the owners are alive and well. The usual reasons are downsizing to a smaller home, moving to a senior living community, relocating, or simply getting ahead of the day your family has to do it for you.

It is not the same as an estate sale after a loss. You make the decisions, the pace is yours, and the whole thing can feel more like a fresh start than a goodbye.

How a hybrid estate sale works

Most people picture an estate sale as strangers walking through the house on a weekend. Our hybrid estate sale blends the best of two worlds:

1. We meet and walk through. You tell us what you plan to keep. We look at what is left and talk through the options.
2. Items stay where they are. No boxing everything up and hauling it away.
3. We photograph and list online. Local buyers, and the thousands we already reach, bid in an online auction.
4. Scheduled preview and pickup days. Buyers come on set days, and we handle the crowd.
5. The sale wraps up. You are paid for what sold, and we help with what is left.

Is a living estate sale right for you?

• You are moving to a smaller home, condo, or senior community.
• You want to sell furniture, collectibles, tools, art, or household goods.
• You would rather sell while you can, instead of leaving it to your kids.
• You want help from people who do this every week.

What can be sold?

Furniture, antiques, art, jewelry, china and glassware, tools, collectibles, coins, books, vehicles, outdoor equipment, and more. If you are unsure about something, ask. We would rather look than have you throw away something of value.
