Why Experience Matters — And What Can Go Wrong Without It
​​​
We’ve seen firsthand what happens when an estate sale is handled by someone without the right experience. In one case, a high-end, professional-grade microscope—with accessories worth over $4,000—was sold by another company for under $100.
At another sale, a family unknowingly priced a collection of sterling jewelry at $5—when it was worth hundreds.
These stories aren’t rare. They’re reminders that estate sales require more than a price tag and a folding table. They require knowledge, research, and experience.
At River City Estate Liquidators, we know what sells, what it’s worth, and how to get your estate into the right hands for the right price.
Our process is designed to protect you from costly mistakes and ensure you get what your estate is truly worth.
We never take our responsibility lightly. We research, price, and present every estate with the care we’d want for our own family.
​​
​
Sometimes, well-meaning friends or realtors try to help by organizing an estate sale—but without the right tools or experience, things can go sideways fast.
In one case, we were scheduled to begin setup when we discovered a sale had already taken place over the weekend—organized quietly by the family’s realtor. Items were listed casually on Facebook Marketplace, and many of the estate’s most valuable pieces likely walked out the door for far less than their worth.
While these efforts often come from a place of helpfulness, unvetted sales can unintentionally reduce the estate’s value and complicate the cleanout process.
Estate sales require more than good intentions—they require a deep understanding of pricing, staging, and buyer behavior. Just as we wouldn’t list your home for sale, realtors and family friends shouldn’t be expected to manage the estate inside it.
Why Good Intentions Aren’t Always Enough
​​​
We’re a great fit for those who:
- Have fully furnished homes, farms, warehouses, or large collections
- Need a professional team to handle everything
- Value efficiency, knowledge, and honesty
- Want a respectful process with maximum return
- Are overwhelmed and want a real solution
- Want to avoid unnecessary stress, drama, or surprises
Our services are best suited for homes with a substantial amount of remaining contents—whether that’s a full household, a large collection, or a property with a mix of furniture, decor, and personal items still in place.
Not sure if your estate qualifies? Reach out. We’re happy to take a look and offer honest feedback about whether we’re the right fit—or point you in the right direction.

What Our Clients Say
River City Liquidators took one of the most stressful and emotionally draining experiences of my life and handled it for me. All I had to do was give Heather the house key and allow her to work her magic. The sale was very successful and she even arranged for a total clean out afterward. Thank you River City Liquidators!
Kristina Swatek
River City Estate Liquidators ran an excellent estate sale for us. My parents possessions ranged from mid-century modern furniture to an extensive railroad collection. Heather and her team managed the sale well and we were happy with the results.
David Johnson
River City & Wrights Estate Liquidators truly cares about their clients. I felt supported throughout the estate liquidation process, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.
K.K
Best decision I made! Calling River City Estate Liquidators was the best decision I made after our mother passed away. Heather was compassionate, professional and efficient. I am still in awe of what she accomplished in such a short amount of time. We did absolutely nothing. Heather and her team handled everything and made us a great profit. They even arranged a junk hauler that left the house completely empty and ready for sale afterward. I whole heartedly recommend calling them and then prepare to be amazed by what they accomplish.
Pamela Miller
In a time of great change, Heather made one part very easy. Heather and her team came in and in a short period of time executed a wonderful and worthwhile estate sale. She was very easy to work with and took a huge load off of my plate.
Kathy Andry
This is a 10 star company! Heather and team were amazing to work with very professional and well organized. My mom had a small estate sale and we were very pleased with the outcome of the sale. I highly recommend doing business with River City Liquidators.
K. Nicholas
We had interviewed a few estate sale companies at the beginning of our journey and right away, we were impressed with Heather's professionalism. She asked the right questions, took photos and showed great confidence in tackling our huge estate. This was an overwhelming process for us, but she made the situation not so stressful for us. We handed over the keys and what her and her team did to organize all the items was AMAZING! We could never have made the presentation look so good as they did. What they did in a few weeks would have taken us months to do. The amount they sold for us took a huge weight off of our shoulders, and we so appreciated that. I highly recommend this company for anyone needing to liquidate an estate. Thank you Heather!!
