Serving Preston Hollow and Nearby DFW

A large house is not evidence of what is inside it, in either direction. We find out by walking it. Every room, closet, safe and storage space goes on a list, so the written scope says what we saw and what still needs a look.

The pieces that matter come out first: fine jewelry, watches, sterling, signed art, a pair of carved giltwood armchairs. We price each one, then show the family an outright offer, an auction plan for the best of it, or both side by side. Nobody from the public sets foot in the house.

Plan a big house in passes

We work in sections, one group of rooms at a time, with the family's keep list marked before we begin. Each pass ends with a written note of what left and where it went. Tell us the number of rooms and storage spaces when you call, and expect the work to run in stages.

Fit the contents around the house sale

If the property is going on the market, the contents plan has to fit listing photos, showings and a closing date. Settle the order at the start: what stays for staging, what leaves first. Finish the review well ahead of the final week, so no decision gets made against the clock.

Who handles the most delicate pieces

Fine jewelry, important watches and signed art get a closer look before anyone names a number. If a piece needs a specialist's opinion, we get one. Those pieces are packed separately from the rest of the estate and travel only under our care.

Last step: confirming city service

The Dallas City Council District 13 page places Preston Hollow within Central North Dallas. That is city context, not a precise boundary or proof that a particular house gets city collection. Where an address is served by Dallas, the city's brush and bulky item pages list what collection covers, what it excludes and how to check the arrangements. Use them only for material with no buyer and no charity.
