Unexpected Treasures

We offer a full range of services, from planning an estate sale to touching up the paint after everything is out. Not every home holds valuable surprises, but the greatest treasure you discover may be the unexpected relief of a mind freed from worry about the details of a complex process. We work with seniors and their children, estate executors and trustees to evaluate, sell, and completely and quickly clear out the contents of the family home. When we finish, your real estate is cleared, beautifully cleaned, and ready for your realtor to sell, or for the new owners to move in. Our experienced team of over 40 professional associates, is here to serve you with appraisers, a full estate-sale staff, movers, charity/donation experts, house cleaners, and a myriad of other resources. We take care of everything for you so that you can relax and focus on your family. If you have enough items of value to sell, the proceeds can cover much, if not all, of the cost of clearing out the house. With Unexpected Treasures, you only have to deal with one project manager for the entire process.
