I've been buying at estate sales for two decades, but I've also been studying them. How companies run, how they price, how they treat families, and what people say about them when the sale is over. I started my own company to fix what I saw. Then I realized the better fix was steering families to the companies already doing it right.

20 years in sales, business development, and strategic analytics. Most recently analyzing large-scale risk data in fintech. I don't guess which company is right for your family. I track the numbers behind every one of them.

After 25 years in Sacramento, I know what a good estate sale looks like. I also know what a quiet loss looks like. A family is told their home might bring $5,000 and they're grateful because they never expected that much. What they never find out is what it actually brought or where the rest went. Nobody lied to them. Nobody asked the right questions either. I've stood in sales priced so high that buyers walk out empty-handed, and I've watched things someone kept for 50 years handled like clutter. Those aren't just things, they were someone's. There are companies here that do this work with real integrity, established ones, and newer ones hungry to earn it. I score them on facts, not opinions, and whether you work with my picks or not, you'll leave with the questions to ask before you hand anyone your keys.
