How It Works:

Estate liquidators are different from estate sales. Anyone with things to sell can hold an estate sale, but with estate liquidations, a professional will make sure that the pricing is fair for each piece and can also examine items at the same time. Let us take a look at what you have in your St. Petersburg property and see if you too, are the owner of unknown treasure. The result might surprise you.

When you trust us with your things, we offer two ways of handling your sale. We can offer a quick settlement where we offer you a cash amount and sell them on our own at a later time. If you do not need the money right away, we will place your belongings in an auction held on our property. Using the estate auction service can often lead to higher gains since it allows people to compete for each item. We arrange our services on a commission basis.

The relationships we maintain with an extensive network of worldwide auction houses are just a proof that we hold valuable expertise. There is no guess work involved in pricing your items; our knowledge of the value of antiques is one that most other services in the area cannot offer. Our estate liquidators can find your diamonds in the rough.

What We Are Looking For:

If you are not sure what your items are worth, set up a consultation with one of our professional estate liquidators at your St. Petersburg property and let us help you through the process of liquidation. We are knowledgeable about all kinds of antiques in many different genres including statues, bronze, silver, and Asian jewelry. Here are some other things that we love to purchase that you may not have thought of as eligible:

Modern Furniture:

Dining tables, side tables, chairs, chests, sofas and other items that were produced from the late 19th century to present day and were influenced by modernism are hot commodities in the antique world. These pieces are often made of teak, mahogany, bronze, or metal.

Jewelry:

Don’t assume any heirloom of jewelry is of no important value or costume unless you have it analyse by a professional estate liquidator. Different eras have specific styles that they found appealing and although we might not find those pieces pretty now, they could still be worth something. Weight, carat and condition are all factors in determining the worth of an item.

Modern Art:

You would not be the first to find out that a random piece of art that has been living in your property is worth more than you think. Before you think about putting anything in a garage sale, let one of our collectors evaluate the piece. Modern art includes cubist, impressionist and minimalist art. Just because you cannot see a signature does not mean art cannot be identified.
