Estate Auctions
Get in Touch With Us Today!
What is an estate auction?
An estate auction is a way of liquidating the contents of your home. We list your items on our online bidding platform where customers can see detailed photographs and descriptions. Auctions are fantastic because it dictates the true market price of an item. In a traditional estate sale, many items are left after the sale. Most companies end up donating these to Goodwill. When you hold an estate auction all items sell, maximizing the value you will receive from your estate.
How does an online estate auction work?
Our process is generally completed in 5 easy steps:
1. You fill out our contact form or give us a call
2. We come out for a free consultation
3. We take pictures of every item to list in our online estate auction
4. We host an online auction where everyone in the Newport Beach area can bid. The highest bidder at the end of the sale is awarded that item
5. We send you a check and you get paid!
It really is that easy. Many estate sale companies do not offer this comprehensive service!
What about the items that don’t hold value?
That’s the beauty of an auction! Any item that does not hold enough value to sell on its own will be lumped in with other estate sale items.

How We add Value to our customers:
We don't oversell you/always give you a realistic picture:

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US
They made selling my mothers stuff a breeze! They wrote me a check for all of my stuff and I simply walked away. Would recommend, they saved me countless hours of my time.
Excellent, fast, compassionate service. This company was professional and so helpful, I am so pleased with the job they did! Thank you so much!!!
I recently completed the estate sale process in its entirety with the team at Handley Estate Sales. I could not be more pleased with the experience and professionalism they displayed!! They were excellent at communicating and keeping me informed throughout the process. This was essential because I live out of state and only had a few opportunities to deal with them face-to-face. As a result, I received regular phone calls, texts, and emails detailing the status of the sale and what to expect next. Every interaction was informative and helpful. In addition, there were numerous occasions where Handley went above and beyond to accommodate special needs and requests made by our family that were not specified in the contract. I would highly recommend Handley Estate Sales to anyone requiring such services. Thank you!!
