High Desert Estate Sales

We work with families that are out of state all the time! It’s not a problem. We can discuss details by phone or video chat.

High Desert Estate Sales is the only full-service estate liquidation company in Bend Oregon; because we not only offer full estate sale services, but we also offer freight and transportation services, interior and exterior design, junk removal and clean up, online auction services for high value items. Not every estate is the same and in these challenging times, liquidating an estate by yourself can be a daunting task, not to mention extremely stressful. The staff at High Desert Estate Sales is experienced and knowledgeable about current market values and has connections with worldwide buyers.

High Desert Estate Sales is also the only estate sale company in all of Central Oregon that is directly linked to one of the best if not the best cleaning company in all of Oregon!

Our goal is to eliminate the worry and stress you will face by dissolving the estate by yourself, we strive to help you get a greater rate of return for all of your belongings. Our five-part estate liquidation process sets us apart from the rest. We offer estate sales in the home, professional staging and organization, extensive research on all items current market value, advertisement on 9 different platforms along with a ridiculous amount of local advertising, clean and safe sale days with security and cleanout services if requested.

The staff at High Desert Estate Sales will come up with a plan that works best in your situation. Usually, it’s a combination of all five services.

Most importantly we specialize in PROMPT last minute RELIABLE services! 

We market aggressively and consistently with over 9 different platforms from social media to local and have a large list of local, national, and international buyers and collectors that we email prior to the sales and auctions. We target advertise on several Internet, social media sites and in the local papers in Bend Oregon, Redmond Oregon, Madras Oregon, or any areas we service! In addition, we post several signs, flyers and reminders to attract the local community.

Antiques, furniture, collectibles, clothing, housewares, guns, jewelry, tools, appliances, garden equipment, cleaning supplies (even half boxes of magic erasers), etc. all sell at estate sales.

For the most part, higher-end items and accessories sell for higher prices in our auctions or eBay page. We have an interior designer on staff that does beautiful work staging and can help with any needs you may have!

And for really high-end items, Art, fine Jewelry, Designer and Couture handbags and shoes, and Mid Century Modern items- our auction is truly the best avenue to reach a broader range of buyers from all around the world.

Absolutely nothing! Don’t clean, sort, or throw anything away. Simply take the items that your family wants to keep and we will take care of the rest. We can even transport items, collections, etc! Remember that one man’s junk is another man’s treasure. We have the experience and the knowledge to know what is valuable and what is not. A perfect example is a customer that was planning on donating a vase he purchased 40 years ago for $27 at an Italian market to Goodwill. The current market value was over $1,200!

So many times, people don’t realize what they may have! That’s why you always need to have a professional come in to help you get the most value for your belongings.
