A Practical Approach to Liquidation in Chicago’s Northwest Suburbs and across the Chicago Area
For eight years through 2021*, Illinois led the US in residents relocating out of state. Expensive storage units are stuffed and draining budgets. Used household goods have flooded the market and costs to conduct a sale have skyrocketed. Now, the cost to clear a house through a traditional estate sale can easily exceed the value of what’s inside.
And, the cost to clear a house by throwing it all away is very expensive. We address this challenge in every house, by selling what we can and working with charities on the rest—maximizing return on investment.
Always protecting Clients with our Caring PromiseSM, we offer unique seller protections not available from other estate sale or auction companies, engaging online selling where it makes sense.
Important paperwork, family heirlooms and stashed cash is returned immediately. If needed, our licensed auctioneer reaches a national audience with CTBids.com for competitive returns with seller protections. Or, we provide a quick flash sale and clean out to turn the house over to the real estate broker.
Call for a free consultation. We’ll recommend a transparent solution that’s right for you.

The Caring PromiseSM in action. Our Team Lead, Deb, found the missing heirloom wedding ring—and returned it to the client. This is especially important when families are grieving or live out of state.
Collections can be overwhelming and fill a room, or rooms. We can help.
An entire bedroom was filled with vintage hats, clothing and jewelry. Lovingly stored, but needing new homes. We conducted an online auction, flash sale and a clean out to clear this space and provided a healthy return to our client.
