Private Estate Sales (Invitation Only)

In certain situations, a Private Sale presents an appealing alternative to a public Estate Sale. Whether it’s due to specific location constraints, timing preferences, or the nature of the property itself, hosting an on-site Estate Sale may not be feasible or appropriate. At Yellow Bird, your trusted local estate sales company, we understand these unique circumstances and offer a tailored solution to meet your needs.

With a vast and dedicated following, comprising thousands of knowledgeable collectors, we have valuable insights into their preferences and interests. Leveraging this expertise, we can orchestrate a Private, Invitation-Only Sale that caters specifically to these discerning individuals. Rest assured, the same level of personalized attention, unparalleled expertise, and meticulous understanding of your project is dedicated to our clients who choose to convert their assets into cash without the need for a Public Estate Sale.

Embrace the exclusivity and convenience of a Private Sale. Contact Yellow Bird today, and allow us to design a customized, invitation-only event that maximizes the value of your assets while ensuring a discreet and seamless transaction.

Senior Downsizing Sales

Seniors who are downsizing need special care & attention. These sales consist of the lifelong contents of a home that the Seniors cannot take with them to their new smaller home or apartment. Senior Downsizing sales can be any combination of the Traditional Sales, Private Invination Only Sales or On-Line Estate Auctions. Call us for an appointment to review your needs.

Bankruptcy / Divorce Sales

Sometimes life takes us in a direction we did not plan for. Bankruptcy or Divorce Sales have certain requirements that other sales do not have. Yellow Bird understands these requirements and can offer a “fully detailed” option that will meet all requirements for recording the sale of the assets.

Estate Auctions

n some cases, a virtual or on-line auction is a desired alternative to a public Estate Sale. Perhaps the locale, timing, or type of property is not conducive to a Public Estate Sale held on site. Yellow Bird offers an online auction “Lot” format. This type of sale in “On-Line Only” and usually takes place over a two week period. Customers pick up their purchases on a pre-determined schedule.

The same individualized attention, top expertise, and thorough knowledge of your project is given to our clients who need to convert assets into cash without an Estate Sale.

Yellow Bird markets these sales to a Nationwide and Canadian market. Full shipping options are also offered to our Clients outside the local marketing area.

Michael Adamson, Owner of Yellow Bird, is a licensed Auctioneer.

Estate Buyouts: Simplifying the Process

At Yellow Bird, we specialize in estate buyouts, offering a convenient solution for individuals looking to sell specific items within their estate. With a vast network of knowledgeable clients who actively seek these items for their personal collections or for resale, we can help you find the right buyers quickly and efficiently.

Our process begins with an in-depth review of the items you wish to sell. Our experienced team will carefully assess the value and market demand for each item, ensuring you receive a fair and competitive offer. We understand the sentimental and financial significance of these possessions, which is why we prioritize transparency and provide you with all the necessary information to make an informed decision.

Depending on your preference, we offer two options: purchasing the items directly from you or facilitating the placement of your items or collections with our network of buyers. Our goal is to provide a seamless and hassle-free experience, ensuring that your estate items find a new home where they will be cherished and appreciated.

To get started, simply contact Yellow Bird to schedule an appointment. We look forward to assisting you with our expertise and finding the best solution for your estate buyout needs.
