This is one weekend in Southern California.

Each dot is an estate sale. Based on one real weekend of listings.

Dozens of estate sales, all fighting for the same local buyers. Whoever drives by, buys. Whatever doesn't sell by Sunday is often priced to go or left behind.

We sell live to buyers across the country.

Not just the folks with a free Saturday. More than 6,400 loyal followers on Whatnot, and growing. Many are designers and shop owners who buy for a living, and they bid from home, any night of the week.

Three ways we're different.

A traditional sale opens the door for a weekend and hopes the right buyer drives by. We don't hope.

1

You earn more.

We fit the sale to your home: in person, live online, or both at once. Local buyers at the door, plus buyers nationwide on the stream. More bidders means higher prices.

2

Nothing gets missed.

We catch the value others overlook or toss, so no dollar is left in the house. And we keep selling qualifying pieces after your sale ends. Some things take time to find the right buyer, and our inventory system makes sure you get paid when they do.

3

Paid in days. No upfront fees.

You never pay us out of pocket. Every sale runs through our payment system, and you get a detailed report of every piece sold and every dollar collected, so you know it was fair. Then you're paid in days, and the house is left clear.

"I spent 25 years as the buyer. I know what gets missed." Greg

What we do

One call handles the whole house.

Estate sales

A traditional in person sale, run start to finish by our team.

Live online sales

We sell from inside the home on Whatnot, to buyers across the country.

Buyouts

Need it done now? We make one fair offer for what's there and pay you the same day.

Cleanouts

What doesn't sell is donated, recycled, or hauled. The house is left clear.

How it works

Simple from the first text.

  1. Text Greg

    Tell us what's going on. A few photos help, but they aren't required.

  2. A quick walkthrough

    We look at the home, in person or by video, and lay out the best plan. No upfront fees, ever.

  3. We handle the sale

    In person, live online, a buyout, or a mix. You can hold pieces back or set a minimum on anything.

  4. Paid in days

    Money in your hands in days, not weeks, and the house is left clear.

Your money, in plain sight

Every piece tracked. Every dollar accounted for.

We run every sale on the same inventory and payment software that major retailers use. You always know what sold, for how much, and when.

  • Every piece is logged before it sells, tagged to your family and no one else's.
  • Buyers can pay every major way, in person and online. More ways to pay means more pieces sold.
  • You get a clear, itemized statement showing every sale. No guesswork, no surprises.
  • Paid in days, by Zelle, Venmo, or check.
  • The sale ends. The selling doesn't. Qualifying pieces that don't sell during your sale stay listed in our online store, and you get paid as they sell.

Every family gets a statement like this. Every line, every price.

Is this a fit?

We keep our calendar small on purpose.

We take on a limited number of homes each month, so every family gets our full attention. We can't say yes to every request, but we answer every one.

We're at our best when:

  • There's real value inside. Art, antiques, collections, a full library, a lifetime of pieces.
  • A traditional sale won't work. Gated, rural, a condo with HOA rules, a storage unit, or no time for a weekend sale.
  • You have no idea where to start. That's exactly who we're for.

If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you straight and point you to someone who is.

A recent job

West LA: one family, three calls.

Ron's family had already held their own sale, and the house was still full. We ran a live sale from the home and sold to buyers across the country.

He called us back to clear the family library. Then he called again, and we bought everything that was left. The house was cleared and nothing went to waste.

Greg, owner of SoCal Estates
For 25 years I was the buyer. Now I work for the family.

I've spent more than 25 years on the other side of the table, buying at estate sales across Southern California. I've seen what gets priced too low, what gets tossed, and what walks out the door for a fraction of its worth.

Now I bring that eye to your side. We run every sale like it's our own family's, and we don't leave until the job is done.
