Full-service estate sale & liquidation services for homes throughout Los Angeles
Who We Are
Lambert & Co. Estate Sales provides professional estate sale and liquidation services across Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley. We organize, price, and sell household contents while helping families clear homes efficiently and respectfully.
Lambert & Co. operates on a commission-based structure.
Our standard commission is 35% of the total gross sales, with 65% of the proceeds paid directly to our client.
This commission covers the full scope of services required to professionally organize and conduct an estate sale.
Our work includes the sorting, staging, and merchandising of items throughout the home, research and pricing of individual pieces, promotion through multiple online estate sale marketplaces and our network of dedicated estate sale buyers, professional signage placed throughout the surrounding neighborhood, and the staffing and management required to run the sale.
We also provide cashier services, sales staff, and all materials and supplies necessary for the successful execution of the sale.
Our goal is to make the estate liquidation process both efficient and seamless for our clients. There are no upfront costs, hidden fees, or additional service charges.
How the Estate Sale Process Works
1. Initial Consultation
Every estate begins with a complimentary consultation. During this visit, we walk through the home with you, learn about the property, and discuss the goals for the sale. We answer any questions and explain the process so you know exactly what to expect. Once we agree on a timeline, we prepare a service agreement and schedule the sale. You simply set aside the items you wish to keep — we handle everything else.
2. Sorting, Research & Pricing
Our team carefully sorts, organizes, and stages items throughout the home to create a well-presented estate sale environment. Each item is researched and priced based on current market demand and collector interest. Whether the estate contains antiques, vintage items, everyday household goods, or unique collectibles, we ensure everything is clearly priced and professionally displayed to maximize buyer interest.
3. Marketing & Promotion
Successful estate sales rely on reaching the right buyers. Lambert & Co. promotes each sale through multiple online estate sale marketplaces, our growing network of collectors and regular estate sale shoppers, and professional signage placed throughout the surrounding neighborhood. Our goal is to generate strong attendance and maximize interest in the items being offered.
4. Sale Management & Final Settlement
We conduct the estate sale over scheduled sale days and manage every aspect of the event, including staffing, customer assistance, and secure checkout. After the sale concludes, we provide a detailed summary of sales and issue payment to our client within 7 business days. Our goal is to make the entire process smooth, organized, and efficient from start to finish.
What Happens to Unsold Items
After the estate sale concludes, there are often items that remain in the home. Lambert & Co. works with each client to determine the best plan for these items. Options may include donation to local charities, coordination with removal services, or arranging a buyout for remaining contents when appropriate.
Our goal is to leave the home in the condition requested by the client while ensuring items are handled responsibly. We are happy to discuss these options during the initial consultation so there are no surprises at the end of the sale.
