Not every company handles every job. Full-service liquidation, senior downsizing, online auctions, and hybrid sales each fit different estates.
Every listing traces back to primary sources.
Cross-checked against the company's own site
We fetch and read the company's own website before listing them — no scraped aggregator data, no self-reported forms.
Current activity verified on marketplaces
We check EstateSales.net, EstateSales.org, and auction platforms for recent, live listings — companies that haven't posted in a year get flagged.
No pay-for-placement, no lead broker resale
Rank is never for sale. When a family reaches out through the guide, we never resell that inquiry to a network of others.
