Estate Liquidation

I’m here whenever you’re ready. Simply call me at 1-866-379-6440 or send me an email.

When a loved one passes on and it’s time to liquidate their estate, the last thing you need is any extra stress. Routing through possessions and figuring out what to keep, get rid of, sell or auction off can be a daunting task, especially at a time when your mind is on other things.

“Marilyn helped me recently with the closing down of a business. She gave me a tremendous peace of mind and made a traumatic experience into a tolerable one and I daresay almost an enjoyable one! I highly recommend her and Lighthouse Organizers. She approaches each job with consummate professionalism but what I’ll remember most about working with her is the compassion, sensitivity and empathy which she brings to her work.” - John Hu, Web Designer

As a Professional Liquidator, Professional Organizer, Certified Life Coach, and Senior Move Manager, I understand this delicate process and I have a natural sensitivity to helping clients move through this transition with ease.

“I am personally comforted with knowing that you and the other professionals who assisted in closing out our mother’s home view your vocation as not just a job and your clients as not just profit centers; you provided a vital service at one of the most challenging times we’ve faced as a family.” -  C Mitchell, San Francisco

teaWhat is estate liquidation? In simple terms, it’s the clearing out of a relative’s house from top to bottom, determining what will happen to the contents, and preparing the house for sale.

How does your service work? I come to the residence and make an initial assessment, carefully documenting exactly what needs to be done, giving you a full picture of the time and cost.

I’m here to help maximize the value of an estate (non-titled personal property) for seniors and their families and to make the estate sale process as fast and painless as possible.

“Marilyn Ellis helped me make a major change in my life and business without pain and years of counseling. She truly has a gift that gives her the ability to connect with people at a much deeper level. In her gentle way, she helped me realize my true potential and all that I have to give.” - W Wallis, Realtor
