We got a call from a couple in Oak Park who were thinking of retiring to the West Coast. They needed Ayres Estate Services to advise and sell the many possessions they wouldn’t be taking with them. Oak Park had been their home for their entire married life; their house, garage and basement were loaded with furniture, books, collections, and the accumulation of stuff that tends to gather during a lifetime.

When we visited them, the owners explained that they would probably not move for a year. As a result, not everything would be for sale immediately. They recognized that many of their items were getting in the way of constructive downsizing. Of course, they needed the basics to continue living in the house but asked us to disperse all the non-essentials.

As we toured the large house, we stickered items to be sold with the couple’s direction. The great variety of items made it clear that a general house sale would not bring best results for this project. The clients had inherited furnishings with an Asian style, and some of our buyers love the more exotic and unusual for their shops. We sent these interesting items to a shop that caters to collectors,
good vintage pieces to consignment, and art and antiques to an auction house.

Because our buyers come from many different needs and tastes, we specialize, and put our clients’ items in the right hands for more money. TM
