We have been handling estate sales since 1990. We work with executors, attorneys, trust officers and individuals to liquidate residential contents particularly contents containing quality furniture and antiques. Our estate sales are renowned attracting collectors, dealers, designers and the public. We provide an inventory list prior to the sale and an extensive reconciliation after the sale. We specialize in Park Cities and Preston Hollow estates. References are available upon request. Services are based on commission. The commission is based on the size of the estate. We have an email list of contacts that we contact prior to the sale (details below) and we advertise in local newspapers. We are organized, efficient, fair, and reasonable. We have the ability to research arts, cabinet makers, and manufacturers to ascertain the correct values. We have a vast and loyal following who can vouch for the success of any sale that we handle. |
