Estate Sales

The Symphony Guild has run estate sales for several years as a major fund-raiser for the Symphony. In doing so, the Guild also provides a professional and caring service for families. This service is appropriate for someone who is downsizing, moving, or needs to settle an estate. The contents of a home are sold, from trivia to pianos to cars.

How to Make Arrangements for a Sale

  1. Get in touch with the Guild's Estate Sales Committee by phoning (925) 373-6824 or (925) 447-5521.

  2. The committee will visit the home to assess a possible sale.

  3. Then the committee will write a contract to be signed by all parties outlining the terms of the sale, expenses such as utilities and advertising, and the percentages of profits.

  4. Items are priced and marked. Vintage or potentially valuable items are researched and marked accordingly.

  5. Upon completion of the estate sale, all unsold items are removed as agreed upon in the contract.

References are available on request.

The committee strongly prefers to run sales in the Livermore Valley (as opposed to farther afield from their base). To help the Symphony (and yourself!) by having a sale run by the Guild, follow the steps listed above. To help with the sales themselves, the best way to start is by joining the Guild.
