Selling a collection or Clearing an Estate

The Estate Clearance Company is well connected to ensure prompt clearance at fair value.

FAST - Instant cash payment

No waiting, No storage, No headache, No unknown fees
The fastest way to clear an estate is to sell as much of the contents in one transaction as you can. Where the estate contains enough value we will often purchase the entire lot following an onsite inspection.

SAFE - Formal valuation

Peace of Mind - know the value prior to sale

Where you have high value items or feel nervous about cash price offers (we completely understand), we can provide formal valuation by professional antique and art valuers (our sister company, Fine Antiques).

You can have specific individual items valued and have a personal walk-around for verbal estimation of value.

MAXIMISE - Sell on behalf

Optimising liquidation value

Where there is suitable value we can offer to sell on-behalf.

We will arrange removal of items from you within 1 week, sold within 3 weeks of pickup, and payment to you within 5 working days following sale.

Our commission rates are lower than local auction houses that cost between 32.5%-42.5% (including buyers and sellers commissions).

We sell items through the most suitable channel to maximise sale rates with audiences New Zealand wide.
