At Swanson’s Estate Sales, we specialize in helping families and individuals navigate life’s transitions. Whether someone has passed away, you’re downsizing, moving into a care facility, facing divorce, or simply need to liquidate a house full of items—we’re here to help.
We offer both on-site and off-site estate sales, including services like packing, moving, organizing, pricing, displaying, and final clean-up. We also work closely with attorneys and realtors and are known for handling sensitive and high-profile estates with discretion.
OUR PROCESS IS SIMPLE:
1. FREE CONSULTATION
Mike will personally visit the home to assess the best sale method - on - site, off - site, auction, or buyout. This consultation is always free with no obligation and no upfront costs.
2. SETTING A DATE
Once a contract is signed, we schedule your sale date. We host estate sales year - round and will work within your timeline.
3. SET - UP & MOVING
We handle everything! For on - site sales, we prep and organize at the home. For off - site sales, we pack and move everything to our Hamilton building - at no additional cost.
4. OUR SETUP PROCESS
We organize and display items by category (kitchenware, tools, books, etc) on linen - covered tables, off the ground for easy shopping. We value presentation - it is important that your estate is treated right. This is not another yard sale.
