WE MAKE ESTATE SALES EASIER
Managing an estate can feel overwhelming. Whether you are settling a loved one’s estate, preparing a home for sale, downsizing, or helping a client through a transition, The Birdsnest is here to guide you through the process.
As a local, family-owned business with a longstanding storefront in Modesto, we understand antiques, collectibles, vintage furnishings, home décor, and the unique items often found inside a lifetime of belongings. Our goal is to make the estate sale process as organized, respectful, and stress-free as possible while working to achieve the best possible results.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF ESTATE SALE COMPANY
The Birdsnest is more than an estate sale service. We operate a large retail store filled with antiques, vintage treasures, collectibles, furniture, and home décor. This gives our team valuable, hands-on experience identifying, evaluating, pricing, displaying, and selling a wide variety of merchandise.
Much of our estate sale business comes from referrals, repeat clients, real estate professionals, and word of mouth. We believe our reputation is earned by treating every home, family, and collection with care.
OUR ESTATE SALE SERVICES INCLUDE
- A complimentary initial consultation
- Evaluation of the estate and its contents
- Research and pricing of antiques, collectibles, furniture, and household items
- Organization, cleaning, staging, and preparation of merchandise
- Professional photography and sale advertising
- Promotion through our established customer following and estate sale networks
- Staffing and management of the sale
- Customer service and payment processing
- Clear accounting following the sale
- Optional removal and cleanout of remaining items
HOW THE PROCESS WORKS
1. Initial Consultation
We begin by meeting with you at the property to review the contents of the estate, discuss your timeline, and determine whether an estate sale is the best option.
2. Preparation and Pricing
Our team organizes, researches, prices, displays, and prepares the contents of the home. We handle the details so you do not have to sort, price, or stage everything yourself.
3. Advertising the Sale
We photograph and promote the sale to our established audience of antique collectors, vintage shoppers, resellers, decorators, and local customers.
4. Conducting the Sale
Our team manages the event from beginning to end, including customer questions, negotiations, payment processing, security, and keeping the property organized.
5. Final Accounting and Cleanout
After the sale, we provide an accounting of the proceeds. Removal and cleanout of unsold merchandise may also be arranged for an additional fee.
NEED A SALE QUICKLY?
Standard estate sales should be scheduled with as much advance notice as possible. When available, we may be able to accommodate a sale that must be conducted within 30 days.
Rush scheduling is subject to staff and calendar availability.
SERVING MODESTO AND THE SURROUNDING AREA
Every estate is different. The size of the home, quantity and type of merchandise, required preparation, location, and timeline will all help determine the best plan for your sale.
