Estate & Downsizing Specialists, LLC is the final evolution of nearly 20 years of experience in an industry changed forever by technology, the economy and the demographics of America. We started in the Auction industry in the mid 1990’s motivated by a new technology called on-line sales. Driven by a passion for art & antiques and motivated by changes in our existing careers, we decided this was to be OUR next transition in life. Along the way we became Certified Appraisers, On-Line Sales Specialist, Consultants, Senior Specialist and Counselors. We consistently saw a need for more than just an auction service; the need for a company that specializes in the transitional process and not just the selling of personal property.
We learned that an auction may not always be the best or wisest option. Secondary markets are changing demographically and economically. Some clients want to simply disperse their property to family or friends. Some want to contribute their special collections to museums and institutions. Some are unable to physically deal with their life transition while others are the victims of unfortunate life changing events. Many circumstances are managed by Professionals from the Trust and Legal community. Some are court ordered while others are the final wish of a loved one.
Events including Retirement, Downsizing, Illness, Divorce, Loss of a Parent or Spouse, Foreclosure and Bankruptcy are all events requiring some type of transition. As we helped our clients successfully deal with life changing events, a company evolved that was prepared to meet the needs of the new demographics of our society.

One other thing we learned during this evolution is that every circumstance is different. We realized that a personal visit was the best approach to evaluate our client’s specific needs.
Some clients may need assistance with one area of our expertise, while others may require a bundle of services to complete their project. We developed a no cost, no obligation approach to the initial consultation. This visit from one of our representatives gives us the knowledge we need to understand a client’s specific needs.
The no-cost initial consultation creates a great opportunity to offer clients a better understanding of what we do. We wanted to give our clients free and easy access to our services through our web presence and marketing materials so they could weigh the benefits of working with us and make their own decisions on what was best for them.
