The full picture

The Contents and the House, Handled Together

Most estates end the same way: the belongings are sold or cleared, and then the empty home goes on the market. Families usually treat those as two separate projects with two separate searches. They work far better as one plan.

Timing that works together

The estate sale empties the home, and an empty, clean house photographs better, shows better, and appraises better. We sequence the sale, the cleanout, and the listing so nothing waits on anything else.

Know what the estate is worth

Executors need a number for the house anyway. We provide a free valuation of the estate home so the family and the probate paperwork are working from reality, not a guess.

One point of contact

Our real estate team handles the home sale itself, whether that is listing it on the open market or a fast as-is sale. You are not handed off to a stranger when the contents are gone.

And the reason to do both with us: use our referral and save 1% on the listing commission when our team sells the home. How selling the estate home works →

Why families use us

The Problem With Picking an Estate Sale Company Blind

Doing it alone

  • Dozens of companies with wildly different commission rates (30–50%)
  • No easy way to know who's insured, experienced, or reliable
  • Days of phone calls while you're grieving or under deadline
  • Horror stories: no-shows, hidden fees, items underpriced or missing
  • The wrong format — a weekend sale when a buyout was the better fit

With Estate Sale Advisors

  • One conversation — we already know the local companies
  • Partners are vetted for insurance, references & track record
  • Matched to your situation: sale, auction, buyout, or cleanout
  • You compare multiple offers, so commissions stay honest
  • Free guidance from locals who do this every week

Every situation covered

Services Our Partner Companies Provide

Traditional Estate Sales

Full-service: sorting, staging, pricing, advertising, and running a professional 2–3 day in-home sale.

Whole-Estate Buyouts

Need it done this week? Companies that purchase the entire contents outright and clear the home fast.

Online Estate Auctions

Contents photographed, listed, and auctioned online — great for high-value items or homes that can't host a sale.

Home Cleanouts

After the sale (or instead of one): donation runs, junk removal, and broom-clean handoff for the home.

Downsizing & Moving Sales

Not an estate — just too much stuff. Rightsizing help for seniors moving to smaller homes or communities.

Appraisals & Specialty Items

Antiques, coins, jewelry, firearms, art, collections — matched with companies that know their true value.

Service area

Serving All of Oakland, Wayne & Macomb County

We're Metro Detroit locals. Wherever the home is in the tri-county area, we have partner companies who work that neighborhood.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an estate sale company charge in Michigan?

Most Metro Detroit companies work on commission — typically 30% to 50% of gross sales — with no upfront cost to you. The rate depends on the size and quality of the estate and the services included (staging, advertising, cleanout). Because we help you compare multiple companies, you'll know exactly what you'd pay before signing anything.

Is your matching service really free? What's the catch?

Really free — families never pay us anything. Our partner companies compensate us through referral arrangements, so we only succeed when we match you with a company you're glad you hired. There's no catch and no obligation: you can decline every match.

How quickly can a sale happen?

Typically 2–4 weeks from hiring a company to sale weekend — they need time to sort, stage, price, and advertise. On a tight deadline (pending home closing, out-of-state family in town for a week), we'll match you with companies offering fast buyouts or expedited cleanouts instead.

The house is full — do I need to sort or clean anything first?

No — in fact, don't throw anything away. Things families assume are junk (old tools, vintage ads, costume jewelry, even garage items) often sell. Estate sale professionals handle all the sorting; that's what the commission pays for.

What if we're also selling the house?

Very common — most estates involve both. Tell us on the form. We can coordinate the sequence (sale → cleanout → market-ready home) so the estate sale and the home sale don't trip over each other, and connect you with trusted local real estate help if you want it.

What areas do you cover?

All of Oakland, Wayne, and Macomb County — the entire tri-county Metro Detroit area.
