What makes Exclusive Estates Services different from Others?

(703) 842-9517

Well, there are a number of differentiating factors besides our unique and growing knowledge of Collectibles and Antiques;

1. Your sale(s) is/are our primary concern.
   It is not uncommon for many providers to have multiple sales falling on a single weekend. Although this raises their income, it short changes the involved customers. We coordinate so that you get our full attention not only during the preparation (and potential pre-sales) but also at the sale itself.


2. We sell what others can't.
   Take as an example and estate we recently handled where the collector had utilized 3 small boxes to hold some coins in. The boxes had bold Black lettering identifying the coins inside covering most of the text on the lid. The boxes were printed so naturally we were interested in the potential advertising value despite the writing on them.
   
   Long story short, we used some of our cleaning techniques and the lettering came off like it was never there.  The boxes were World War II morphine injector boxes.  We sold each box for $175, far more than the contained coins were worth and another $525 for the estate.
   
   Finding this type of "sleeper" item is second nature to us and this is not just an isolated incident.


3. Our education never stops!
   Since 1978 Antiques and Collectibles have been our passion and occupation but we don't rest on our laurels.  We are constantly monitoring the various markets including up and coming and brand new ones, it's an ever changing world and we stay on top of it!
   
   
4. We are flexible.
   Not all weekends are created equally and often times a simple rain storm can hamper customers and the resulting business at Estate sales. When it has made sense we have gone so far as to continue the sale services with another weekend Estate sale without additional fees. We do what it takes to maximize not only your income but, as a result, ours as well. We're in this together.
   
   
5. Our contacts are a huge asset, we're not afraid to ask for help.
   We are the first to admit that we don't know everything. We make up for that by having close contacts in a number of fields. Many of these contacts are known and recognized experts in their field. Additionally, it is often the case that in a family estate that the relatives know a good deal about the items included, we want your help.

We offer different levels of service based on our customers preferences and the contents of the estate.
