DcVelco Estate Sales

When you lose a loved one the burden of dealing with the household contents collected throughout their many years can often be overwhelming.

We can help.
A Little About Our Process

We meet with the Estate Executor and / or Estate Attorney, Bank Trusts personnel along with any other Utility, Government or Business professionals necessary to effectively process the estate.

Family heirlooms and sentimental treasures are identified and if needed moving or shipping is arranged be it across town, across the country or around the globe. We help you and your family maintain those cherished family heirlooms and deal with the rest.

We can arrange for moving / shipping any family retained items across town, across the country or across the world. We then review the remainder of the estate. We have many avenues to liquidate our client’s homes starting with an Estate Sale that gains our clients fair market value. The Estate Sale is NOT a Garage Sale where attendees expect rock bottom prices. But, it also is not retail. Many factors go into pricing an item such as age, condition, rarity and popularity to name a few. We not only rely on our own knowledge but if warranted research items to ascertain the current fair market value. When warranted we utilize premier art and antique auction houses, dealers / brokers, local retail businesses, wide reaching online auction sites and charity donations to name a few approaches to move your assets as swiftly as possible based on your situation.

Our job is to gain you, our clients, the most value that we can for the estate at today’s fair market value in the fastest possible time frame so that you and your family can move on from the burden of dealing with the physical estate.
