Estate Sales

When an estate sale is the right path, English & Associates handles the entire process: site preparation, organization and staging, display tables with uniform covers, locking display cabinets for valuable items, tagging and pricing, research, advertising, directional signage, sales tickets, credit card processing, sales tax collection and payment, an experienced sales staff, and post-sale cleanup.

For total liquidations of residential contents, the team will often combine a multi-day estate sale with disposal of remaining items at auction or at a charitable organization of the client's choice. For partial liquidations, the company can combine a client's property with that of other clients for better results, or offer brokering or consignment for clients selling only a few items.

Appraisals

The appraisal arm handles personal property valuations for insurance coverage, damage claims, estate planning, probate, charitable donations, property division, distribution to heirs, estate tax liability, divorce settlements, and bankruptcy. The cataloging service produces detailed inventories for legal and accounting purposes.

Difficult Cases

English & Associates also takes on cases where contents have been neglected or where the prior owner was a hoarder — engagements that typically require a major cleanup before producing optimum results. The company describes its track record turning even the worst nightmare into a virtual showplace.

Service Area

The company serves the Greater Houston area, including the Inner Loop, West University, Montrose, Katy, and Fort Bend County, and points beyond.
