History
What We Do Once your family has decided what will be kept, Family Affairs reorganizes the contents, pricing all items at fair market value, dividing out what will be sold, what can be donated, and what will be refuse. Valuables are stored in a secure display case. Our sales are aggressively advertised. We also have a list of private clientele that are notified when a sale is taking place. We understand the delicate nature of a liquidation. We will work closely with the executor and the family to make certain that all matters will be taken care of with the utmost professionalism. If it is not practical to run a sale, Family Affairs will make offers on items of interest and provide recommendations for other selling options for the rest of the items.
