Serving Irving and Nearby DFW

We work only with someone entitled to sell. When an estate is in administration, ask the estate's attorney which documents show that authority. If it is unclear, we wait until it is settled.

Then name one family contact. Everyone else still matters. One voice keeps questions and decisions in one place. That person walks the estate with us, or we walk it on the family's behalf and send photos and notes to everyone.

Write the exclusions before the walkthrough

List what each relative is taking, with their name beside it, and tag the items in the rooms. A grandmother's engagement ring, the family Bible, the painting from the front hall. Excluded beforehand, each is a line on the page. Pulled out after pricing, each one reopens the offer.

Keeping and selling are two conversations

Decide first, as a family, what stays with you. Then look at what is left with our numbers in front of you. Sentiment and resale price are separate questions, and mixing them makes both harder to answer.

A paper trail for the estate file

We give the family a written record of what the estate sent out and which route each piece took, purchase or private auction. Send it to everyone with an interest. It settles later questions before they start.

Why one route can serve the whole estate

Most Irving estates split cleanly. The everyday furniture, kitchen goods and linens suit a purchase. The diamond studs, the Omega in the nightstand and the oil painting over the sofa suit private auction. We lay out both, and the family can take either or combine them.

Last step: Irving brush and bulky waste

Irving publishes an official Brush + Bulky Waste Collection page. Check it for the address before arranging removal of anything that will not be sold or donated. Confirm what it accepts, how to set it out and when collection runs, instead of applying another city's rules.
