Estate Sales

What to do with a houseful of belongings

After the keepsakes are claimed, there's still a full house: furniture, tools, dishes, a garage that's been filling since 1978. It is genuinely overwhelming, and it's usually the last thing standing between a family and closing a chapter.

An honest estate sale company can empty a home in a weekend, get fair value for what has value, and leave it ready to list.

How we help

  • We tell you whether a sale makes sense

    Some homes justify a full estate sale. Others are better served by donation and a haul-away, and we'll say so rather than waste your weekend.

  • We refer companies we trust

    Operators who inventory clearly, price fairly, advertise properly, and settle up promptly with a written statement.

  • We coordinate the timing

    The sale needs to happen after the family has taken what they want and before photos are shot for the listing. Sequencing matters.

  • We handle the remainder

    Donation pickup and cleanout for whatever doesn't sell, so the house is empty and clean on schedule.

What we can connect you with

  • Full-service estate sale companies
  • Online auction and consignment options
  • Appraisers for jewelry, coins, firearms and collectibles
  • Donation partners with pickup service
  • Junk removal and final cleanout crews
  • Document shredding services

An honest note on cost and how this works

Rightsize charges families nothing for these referrals.

Estate sale companies typically keep 30–45% of gross proceeds and cover their own staffing and advertising. Be wary of any company asking for a large fee up front in addition to a commission.
