In cases where an estate has limited value or time is critical, we can quickly clear out the property. We’ll sort through everything, sell what we can for you, donate usable items to charity, and recycle or dispose of the rest. We handle all areas of the property—house, garage, shop, crawlspace, yard—whatever needs to be cleared. We work within your time frame to get it done. Afterward, we can provide a professional "move-out" cleaning and landscaping service to ensure the property is ready for real estate listing.

An auction can be the best way to maximize the value of certain items. Whether in-person or online, the competitive atmosphere of a public auction can drive up prices. As we go through an estate, we identify which items are better suited for an auction setting. We offer both in-person and online auction options, and also work with other auction houses to offer the optimal sales opportunity.

Online Sales
In today’s world, a strong online presence is a major asset—especially when it comes to sales. As an industry leader in online marketing, we reach more potential buyers through more platforms than anyone else. When we list an item for sale online, we often achieve higher sale prices than traditional retail stores. With the largest social media following and mailing list, targeted advertising, and exceptional customer support, we achieve a sell through rate unmatched on Vancouver Island.
Estate Buyer
Online Sales
Online Sales
Our preferred approach is to sell items on a commission basis. This model aligns our goals with our clients' success, ensuring that our prosperity is directly linked to theirs. It eliminates any potential conflict of interest and is in harmony with our strong Code of Ethics. However, we understand that sometimes clients prefer to sell items quickly and receive immediate payment. In these cases, we purchase items at reasonable prices based on appraised value and market demand.
