I hired Yahnn at San Diego Liquidation and Estate Sale Services Inc. to liquidate a large Rancho Santa Fe estate with many rare, one-of-a-kind antique pieces. His knowledge, integrity, and professionalism were outstanding, and he handled the process with great sensitivity. He achieved top dollar for several pieces through Christie's and other high-end auction houses. I highly recommend his services.

Debbie Keller

I've had the opportunity to work with Yahnn on several estate sales and auctions, and I have nothing but praise for him and his team. He is highly knowledgeable, professional, and always treats his clients with respect. His primary focus is client satisfaction. I would not hesitate to recommend his services and will continue referring him to my clients.

Marcus Feldman

My elderly mom was the executor of a longtime friend's estate, and we had no idea where to begin. We were relieved when a respected local nonprofit recommended Yahnn and his firm. He clearly explained the process, created a solid plan, and handled everything smoothly and on schedule. Yahnn was knowledgeable, competent, and always responsive.

San Diego Liquidation and Estate Services was honest, trustworthy, and great to work with from start to finish. Their communication was excellent, they kept me informed throughout the process, and their customer service was outstanding. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and professional team.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an estate sale?

An estate sale is a professional liquidation of personal property from a residence, typically during downsizing, relocation, or estate settlement. Unlike garage sales, estate sales are professionally marketed, organized, and managed to maximize value of items.

How much does an estate sale cost in San Diego?

Costs vary based on estate size and complexity. We offer a free, no-obligation consultation to walk you through what's included before you decide.

How long does an estate sale take?

Most estate sales take 2-4 weeks total from initial consultation to completion. This includes set up, appraisals, pricing, photography, marketing, the sale itself, and clean up.

Do you buy entire estates or just valuable items?

We handle both! We offer full estate sales, estate buyouts (where we purchase everything for one price), and selective purchases of high-value items like antiques, jewelry, art, and collectibles.

How do you determine pricing for items?

Our team uses market research, comparable sales data, current demand trends, and item condition to set competitive prices. This ensures items sell quickly while maximizing your return.

What happens to unsold items?

Unsold items are handled through donation pickups, consignment for higher-value pieces, responsible recycling/disposal, or broom-clean property removal, whatever works best for your situation.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes, we are fully licensed and insured. San Diego Liquidation and Estate Services Inc. maintains professional insurance and all necessary credentials to handle estates responsibly and legally.

Can you handle estates with valuable antiques or art?

Absolutely. Our team includes accredited appraisers with expertise in fine art, Asian antiques, jewelry, collectibles, and vintage items. We've handled high-value estates from $50K to $500K+.

How do I get started?

Contact us for a free, no-obligation consultation. We'll visit your property, assess your contents, answer questions, and provide a detailed plan with timeline and expected outcomes.

Do you serve other areas besides San Diego?

We serve all of San Diego County, from coastal La Jolla to inland areas like Rancho Santa Fe. Larger estates outside San Diego County are considered case by case.

Is the consultation free?

Yes. Every consultation is free, with no obligation to move forward.

How soon can you come out?

Usually the same day or the next day. Call us and we'll schedule a time that works for you.

Should our family be at the sale?

Most families are better off not being present during the sale. We handle everything and keep you updated throughout, so you don't have to watch the process.

Are you open on holidays?

Yes. We're open on public holidays with our regular hours, Monday through Saturday, 8am to 6pm.
