For special items, we provide auction services so your audience is not limited to your local area.
For fine jewelry, fine art, designer items, art glass, china, memorabilia, and other collectibles, our auction services will always earn a greater return and there’s no additional charge for this service. Just like for estate sales, we take care of all the marketing, photography, and needed preparation. All the client needs to do is sit back and then cash the check.
When a client doesn’t have time or the desire for a traditional estate sale, an estate liquidation (also known as a “buy out”) is offered. In this method we will either purchase the contents of the estate or bring in one of our many investors/collectors who are always looking for a fast transaction. Which ever is most lucrative for the client.
We realize that having people come through your property, much less touching our personal items is an odd occurrence. While we are preparing for the sale you will come to know our staff quite well. You will find them compassionate, uplifting, pleasant, and professional. Our past clients will tell you that by the sale date our staff will feel like family to you. We hope you will ask us for references.
It’s important to know that California Estate Sales and Auction Company provides many levels of security for their estate sales. Professional security is on staff, staff is assigned to each room of home, lock boxes are used for jewelry, and more that we can’t mention. Security is just another thing clients of CESAC do not have to worry about.
No one should ever hire an estate Sale firm without first verifying they have adequate liability insurance and confirming they are bonded. References should also be checked for authenticity. Additionally, professional security should be on site for all days of the sale.
An Estate Sale is a method of liquidating belongings of a family or estate. They are typically used when someone must move, downsize, or in the case of divorce, bankruptcy, death, etc.
The home is staged by the firm handling the sale and belongings are priced and displayed for purchase. Then the public is invited into the home and given the opportunity to purchase the goods. Often children are not allowed nor are backpacks or large bags to protect the estate from shrinkage. Additionally, because the estate sale is posted in local periodicals and on-line usually people will line up early to be part of the first groups to have the opportunity to review and purchase items for sale. It is common that antique dealers, vintage collectors, and other professionals local to the property will be first in line. Sometimes numbers will be given out so there is no confusion who was there first. It is typical to find furniture, art, clothing, Rolex watches, vintage Rolex watches, gold Rolex watches, rugs, estate jewelry, fine jewelry, coins, gold coins, kitchen items, bar ware, books, bedding, electronics, tools, automobiles, classic cars, sports memorabilia, Hollywood memorabilia, and more.
An estate auction is where everything is auctioned instead of being sold locally. California Estate Sales and Auction Company has special expertise in this area as they have long term international contacts that expose estates to millions of buyers for maximum return rather than just local buyers.
Occasionally there are circumstances where clients do not have the benefit of time for various reasons including emergencies. When this occurs Rancho Mirage Estate Sales and Auction Company utilizes contacts that will purchase entire estates or individual items immediately.
