Fine Estate Liquidation, Inc.

Fine Estate Liquidation’s auction placement service is a powerful estate sales tool unique in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is a well organized income producing adjunct to our estate sales process.

Finding high value items in an estate is not that uncommon. When we do, we never attempt to sell those items in an estate sale, instead we selectively place them in an appropriate auction, matched to the specialty of the item to be auctioned.

Auction Placement is your best option when:

1. You have interesting items that would benefit from competitive bidding.
2. You have single high value items or special collections.
3. You have rare items too valuable to sell via estate sales.
4. You have items needing national attention and exposure.

Commonly asked questions about our Auction Placement Service.

1. How do you choose the right auction house?
2. Will your company consign all of my property to only one auction house?
3. Do all auction houses produce the same results?

Choosing the right auction house for auction placement is an art. Some auction houses produce better results for certain categories of antiques, while other auctions generate higher incomes from the sale of collectibles or special collections.

We understand how auction houses are specializing, and use that knowledge in deciding which auction best matches the needs of our clients.
