We are insured, we carry worker's comp insurance and are members of both the Certified Appraisers Guild of America and The Antique and Collectibles National Association.
Expert Estates has conducted over 500 estate sales, has over 1500 social media and email subscribers and is the only estate liquidation company in the county with this level of experience.
Expert Estates is owned by a trained CAGA Certified Appraiser. Beware of companies that mention handling appraisals for you if they do not belong an appraisal association; true appraisers are trained, tested and certified by an appraisal organization. (CAGA, ISA, and ASA are some of the most popular).
Expert Estates' owner, Christie Humphreys, has over 15 years of personal property appraisal experience and has been handling estate liquidations for over 5 years. She quickly determines and highlights the best objects for sale in your estate.
Christie knows the current fair market prices for your fine art, antiques, vintage furniture, and collectibles. When estates have property that fall outside of her specialties (such as jewelry or antique rugs), she works with her network of appraisers to determine the right values for everything in your estate.
We know or will find the best venue for selling unique and high end property. Christi sells property at regional and national auction houses, on Etsy, eBay, and in antique malls. She also owns an antique store in Tehachapi to provide more channels for your estate liquidation needs. Our goal is to find a new home for everything you don't want or need to keep.
When you hire us, you get a team that is hard working, careful and trustworthy. Our team will clean, sort, stage, appraise, price, market and sell your home's entire contents. We can empty the entire estate: house, garage, yard and if requested, leave your home clean and ready for marketing, rental or residence.
Our goal is to diminish your burden. We do as much or as little as you need.
We will heavily market your inventory in print and online. With over 2,000 connections and subscribers, we have one of the largest social network and mailing lists in the area.
We accept credit cards and collect and process sales tax. If your estate includes special items that might not be right for an estate sale or that might not have sold over the course of your sale, we consign them and get them into the right venue. We hold sales for as many or as few days (or weekends) as needed based on the amount of inventory you have.
Christie is a seasoned event organizer. She handles crowds and unexpected emergencies quickly and gracefully. Call Christie for free advice about your liquidation or appraisal: 661-823-1635.
