Estate & Storage Lien Sales
Two very different jobs that share one discipline: grouping. An estate sold piece by piece takes three months and nets less than one sold in sensible lots over ten days. A storage lien sale sold badly exposes the facility to a claim. Both are about doing the grouping and the paperwork properly.

What the engagement covers
- Estate: room-by-room sort into grouped lots, photographed with the damage visible, not hidden
- Estate: honest non-attribution — we will not call an unmarked piece a named maker and we will not research signatures
- Storage: statutory notice trail documented, Illinois Self-Service Storage Facility Act compliant
- Storage: door photographs and a video walk-through, with nobody entering the unit before the sale
- Both: 72-hour or five-day removal enforced, with broom-sweep required on units
Not included
Where it stops
- Nothing is authenticated or appraised. We are auctioneers, not an appraisal service
- We will not split a grouped lot after listing, however nicely anybody asks
- Personal documents found in a storage unit must be surrendered to the facility. This is not negotiable and it is in the terms
This column exists because a seller who finds out about a limit at the loadout has been badly served. Everything we will not do is on the page before you sign anything.
Sequence
How it runs
01
Assess
Estate: a walk-through and a realistic number. Storage: the notice trail and the lien date.
02
Group
The whole job. Good grouping is the difference between a sale and a clearance.
03
Sell
Seven to ten days, closing in the evening. Storage units draw the biggest bidder counts on the floor.
04
Clear
Removal enforced to the day, because the next tenant is already booked.
