Los Angeles estate sale services
Estate sale help for family homes, collections, and inherited estates.
Union Estate Company helps Los Angeles-area families, seniors, executors, and homeowners evaluate, organize, price, advertise, and sell household contents with practical care.
Start before you sort everything.Furniture, collections, tools, books, records, and ordinary household goods can all matter in context.
The first walkthrough is about understanding the home, the contents, and the family timeline.
Start with the household
Most estates are not obvious at first glance.
A normal home can hold decades of useful objects, collections, furniture, and saleable contents. The right first step is a review before decisions are made too quickly.
A family home has furniture, art, books, kitchenware, tools, or collections that deserve review.
An inherited or probate property needs a contents plan before the house is listed.
A senior move calls for practical help deciding what to keep, sell, donate, or pass along.
Collectors, hobbyists, and lifelong households may have value mixed into ordinary rooms.
A crowded or challenging property still deserves a respectful first conversation.
What can be handled
Estate sale work starts with careful evaluation.
The service is not limited to antiques, and it is not only for problem properties. The first question is whether the contents, timing, market, and household goals make a sale practical.
Collections and higher-value contents
Review furniture, art, books, decorative objects, tools, records, vintage goods, and specialty collections with care.
Inherited and probate estates
Help heirs, executors, and representatives understand what should be reviewed before the home is sold or emptied.
Senior downsizing
Support decisions around furniture, clothing, books, kitchenware, collections, and household goods during a move.
Sale preparation and remaining contents
After the sale, discuss practical next steps for remaining items, including donation or cleanout coordination when appropriate.
Cluttered or challenging estates
Discuss homes that need extra sorting, organization, or preparation without judgment and with a practical plan.
Review before sorting
Everyday rooms can include saleable contents.
Furniture, tools, clothing, books, kitchenware, garage contents, records, decorative objects, collections, and ordinary household goods can all matter when there is enough volume and buyer interest.
Sorting too early can remove items that would have helped support the sale or explain what the home contains. A walkthrough gives the family a calmer first step.

How it starts
A practical sequence from first call to sale days.
After someone submits the consultation form, the next step is a property conversation. If the sale looks practical, a walkthrough can be scheduled before decisions are locked in.
- 01
Tell us about the property
Share the location, timeline, access, family role, and what you know about the contents.
- 02
Walk through and evaluate the contents
A walkthrough helps determine what appears saleable, what needs sorting, and whether an estate sale is practical.
- 03
Organize, research, price, and advertise
Saleable items are prepared room by room, priced with care, photographed, and promoted to local buyers.
- 04
Hold the sale and discuss what remains
After sale days, the remaining property is discussed calmly so the family can choose the next step.
Also handled
If the home is crowded or in challenging condition, the conversation can still start calmly.
Some estates are orderly, and some are packed, cluttered, neglected, or hoarded. Union Estate Company can discuss those conditions without judgment while staying honest about what appears practical.
Severe hazards, unsafe access, or specialized cleanup needs may require outside professionals, but you do not need to make that determination alone before calling.
Some estates require additional sorting, organization, or preparation. We can help you understand what is practical before decisions are made.

Questions before calling
The first call does not require certainty.
These answers are meant to help you decide whether to start a conversation before the contents are sorted, moved, donated, or listed for sale.
You do not need to know before calling. A house can include saleable contents even when nothing looks rare at first glance. The first step is a conversation about the property, the amount of contents, the timeline, and what the family hopes to accomplish.
No. Tools, kitchenware, clothing, furniture, garage contents, decor, books, collectibles, hobby supplies, and everyday household goods can all contribute to a sale when there is enough volume and buyer interest.
Fees depend on the property, amount of work, expected sale scope, timeline, staffing needs, and services required. Specific pricing is discussed after learning more about the estate. No commission percentage is assumed on this website.
Timing depends on the property, access, amount of sorting required, advertising needs, and sale calendar. If you are facing a short real-estate or probate deadline, mention it early so the next step can be discussed clearly.
Remaining items are discussed after the sale. Depending on the property, next steps may include family pickup, donation, resale options, cleanout coordination, or working with another provider.
Yes. Many families handling inherited or probate properties live out of the area. The practical details depend on property access, local representatives, documents, and decision-making authority.
No. Please do not delay the conversation because the home feels crowded, dusty, or unfinished. It is often better to let someone look before items are thrown away or moved into piles.
