How it Works

Why should I have an estate sale liquidation instead of a garage sale?

Downsizing, moving or selling a loved one’s property can be stressful, emotional and time-consuming. Bay Area Estate Liquidators removes all of the worry and takes care of the hard work for you. Most importantly, we can get top dollar for your valuables. Our estate sales agents understand what your items are truly worth and attract customers who are willing to pay the price.

How does your professional estate sale service work?

As appraisers, buyers and estate dealers, our agents can sell your property quickly for a maximum payout. Before the sale, we take care of evaluating, pricing and organizing your items. We reach out to prospective buyers through a number of channels. During the event, we handle security, crowd control, customer service and accounting. After the estate sale, we can donate any unsold merchandise, clean the home and provide a fast payout.

I don’t have a lot of expensive things. Can you still work with me?
