Our Integrated Services
Estate Liquidation
High Sierra Estate Liquidation has been serving Northern Nevada families for over 15 years, providing trusted, full‑service estate liquidation including estate sales, auctions, and complete household clear‑outs.
In addition to our hands‑on experience, we are Certified Appraisers through the Certified Appraisers Guild of America (CAGA). This certification ensures that items are evaluated professionally, accurately, and ethically — giving our clients confidence that values are determined with care, knowledge, and transparency.
Because every estate is different, we don’t rely on a one‑size‑fits‑all approach. We are adept at navigating changing circumstances, unique challenges, and sensitive transitions, adapting our process as needed while remaining calm, respectful, and dependable throughout.

Support for Seniors and Downsizers
Many of our clients are seniors, longtime homeowners, or families helping a loved one transition into a new phase of life. We understand that no two situations are alike — every home, every family, and every decision comes with its own history and considerations.
Rather than forcing you into a predefined process, we take the time to understand your goals, concerns, and timeline. Whether your situation is simple or complex, planned well in advance or unfolding unexpectedly, our role is to adapt, guide, and handle the details so you don’t have to.
Our clients often tell us the greatest relief comes from knowing they don’t need to have everything figured out on day one. We meet you where you are, help you understand your options, and move at a pace that feels right — with patience, respect, and clear communication throughout.
Support for Attorneys, Trusts, and Estates
We frequently work alongside estate planning attorneys, trust administrators, and probate professionals who need a reliable partner to help resolve the personal property and real estate components of an estate.
Our role is to simplify what can otherwise become a time‑consuming and complicated process. From accurately valuing personal property to coordinating estate liquidation and real estate sales, we help ensure assets are handled responsibly, efficiently, and in accordance with the goals of the estate.
Because no two estates are ever the same, we approach each engagement with flexibility and professionalism. Attorneys value our ability to adapt to changing circumstances, communicate clearly, and follow through — allowing them to focus on the legal work while knowing the physical and financial details are in capable hands.
FAQ
Common Questions Answered
Have questions about our services? Find answers to common queries below to learn more about what we do.. If you can't find the information you need, feel free to contact us for further assistance.
Do I need to sort, donate, or throw things away before you come out?
Answer:
No. In fact, we strongly recommend that you don’t. What may appear to be insignificant or disposable can often have value or importance. We prefer to assess the estate as it stands so we can accurately determine what should be sold, donated, kept, or disposed of. This approach protects value, saves time, and prevents unnecessary mistakes early in the process.
How does combining estate liquidation and real estate actually help me?
Answer:
By handling both services together, we eliminate the need to coordinate multiple companies, timelines, and points of contact. As we manage the liquidation and clearout of the home, we can simultaneously prepare the property for sale—whether that involves staging, repairs, or market readiness. The result is a more organized process, fewer delays, and a smoother transition from contents to close of escrow.
Can you work with trustees, attorneys, or probate situations?
Answer:
Yes. We regularly work with trustees, attorneys, executors, and families navigating probate or trust administration. Our process is designed to be organized, well-documented, and respectful of legal and fiduciary responsibilities. Clear communication and a single point of contact help ensure all parties stay informed and aligned throughout the process.
How are pricing and fees determined?
Answer:
Every situation is different, which is why we begin with an on-site consultation. During that visit, we assess the scope of the estate, the contents involved, and the condition of the property. From there, we outline a clear plan and explain how compensation is structured. Our goal is transparency, fairness, and a solution tailored to your specific needs.
