I am a retired asset, operations and property manager that found a passion for antiques and conducting estate sales for other people.  In the past, I was also a volunteer coordinator for a local hospice, Americare.   My mother, Paula, is my business associate.  She is a retired counselor and at 90 is still going strong.  For the last thirty plus years she has been an antique dealer and she can talk to anyone about anything and sell ice to Eskimos.   She and I have both been dealers associated with Camelback Antiques. however they are closing their doors in early 2026 so we are moving to Dealers’ Depot Antique Mall in Tempe on McClintock just South of Apache.  Previously she was a long-time dealer with Antiques on Central.  She is also a lifetime member of the  Valley of the Sun Antique Dealers Association.    I  was the Secretary of “VSADA” for a few years as well.   (Since the Covid-19 Pandemic, they no longer meet.)   Together with my partner, Lee, we try to make our sales fun for the sellers and the buyers.  We utilize our network of antique and art dealers, jewelers, etc. to assist us in informal valuations of artwork, jewelry, furniture and antiques to get the best prices that we can for you at your sales. 

 Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, there were no sales for quite a while and now are fewer than pre-pandemic -and – we are slowing down ourselves, but we still help people by doing a few sales a year.

Moving or dealing with the death of a loved one and their estate can be very hard.  We started organizing private estate sales together just to help our friends and family and one request lead to another and another which lead to the creation of “Estate Sales Upon Request”.   Let us make things easier for you too.   Call or email me today for your free consultation.  If we can’t help you, we will refer you to other companies that hopefully can.
