Settling an estate is enough work without surprises. Here is exactly how a job runs, first visit to final settlement.
We visit the property at no charge and no obligation.
Everything is inventoried, photographed, and priced.
Marketed widely and run professionally, start to finish.
Clear accounting, your proceeds, and a clean property.
We come out and walk the whole property with you — house, barns, shops, sheds, and yard. We look at what is there, talk through what your family or the estate wants to keep, and give you a straight assessment: what the contents can realistically bring, which sale format fits, and what the work will involve.
Before anything is signed, you get a clear written agreement covering scope, fees, timing, and how settlement works. If we are not the right fit, we will tell you that too.
Our crew sorts and inventories the estate. Equipment, tools, and vehicles are researched individually — make, model, condition, and current market — because a tractor priced right sells for what it is worth, and a tractor priced as "old equipment" does not.
Household contents are grouped, cleaned up, and presented properly. Anything your family flags — documents, photos, keepsakes, items named in a will — is set aside for you, never sold.
We recommend the format that fits the estate, and the choice is yours:
We handle advertising, signage, staffing, payment, and buyer pickup.
After the sale, you receive an itemized settlement statement and your proceeds within the timeframe set in our agreement. No guesswork about what sold or for how much.
Then we finish the job: unsold items are donated or disposed of as agreed, and the house and buildings are left emptied and broom-clean, ready for listing, transfer, or the next chapter.
The walk-through costs nothing and commits you to nothing. It just gives you a plan.
