Our Process

A Seamless Process.
Exceptional Results.

We make estate transitions clear, efficient, and respectful, handling every detail so you can focus on what matters most.

Every estate is unique, but our process is proven.

We tailor the plan to the property, the people involved, and the outcome you need.

1

Initial Consultation

We start with a no-obligation conversation to understand your needs, timeline, and goals. Whether in-person or virtual, we're here to listen and guide you.

2

Assessment & Planning

We assess the contents, property needs, and project scope, then create a customized plan tailored to your situation.

3

Sorting, Staging & Valuation

Our team carefully sorts, researches, evaluates, and organizes items so they can be properly marketed and monetized.

4

Sale Management

We handle marketing, pricing, staffing, and transactions with one goal: the best possible outcome for the estate.

5

Cleanout & Final Touches

We repurpose as much as possible after the sale. When additional clearing is needed, cleanout support is available as a separate service, scoped apart from the estate-sale commission.

6

Accounting & Follow-Up

We provide a clear accounting and settlement, and are always available for questions after the sale. Our relationships don't end when the sale is over.

"

ECOS was a referral from our realtor who had done business with Paul and his staff in the past. We could not believe the results: beyond our expectations, and ready for the new owner.
