Hughes has provided high quality, trusted comprehensive estate liquidation services to Altadena, Pasadena, La Cañada, San Marino, Silver Lake and all of Los Angeles since 1978. We are fully insured and bonded.

We offer buyouts when a cash offer is preferable to auction consignment. We buy fine art, decorative art, collectibles, designer furniture, jewelry, rare books, vehicles, and more. Buyouts can be a great option for sellers who do not want to wait until an appropriate auction is scheduled to sell their items.

If the goal is to empty a house completely in preparation for the sale of a home or to close escrow, we provide responsible, comprehensive cleanout services that leave a home empty and broom clean.

Please note that a buyout offer is not guaranteed. We only purchase items that have resale potential in today’s market to ensure a fair and viable transaction for both parties.

While we offer a full range of liquidation services, a buyout is often the perfect fit in specific circumstances. Consider an estate buyout if:

• Speed is the Priority: You need to empty a property quickly to meet an escrow deadline, prepare a home for sale, or settle an estate without delay.
• You Prefer Privacy and Discretion: A buyout is a private transaction, avoiding the need for a public estate sale with crowds of people coming through the home.
• The Estate is Smaller or Has Fewer Items: If a collection doesn't have enough inventory to warrant a full-scale estate sale, a buyout is a highly effective alternative.
• The Property Has Restrictions: Condominiums, gated communities, or apartment buildings often have rules that prohibit public sales, making a buyout the only viable option.

Our process is designed to be efficient and stress-free, providing you with a clear path from start to finish.

• Complimentary Consultation & Assessment: The process begins when you contact us. Our specialists will conduct a no-obligation walk-through of the property to evaluate the contents and understand your goals.
• Professional Valuation & Written Offer: Based on our assessment and current market data, we will provide a clear, written proposal with our cash offer for the items.
• Agreement & Scheduling: Once you accept the offer, we will sign a straightforward agreement and schedule a convenient time for our professional team to remove the items.
• Swift Removal & Immediate Payment: Our courteous, uniformed staff will handle the entire removal process with care. Payment is made promptly, ensuring your transaction is complete without delay.

Please note that a buyout offer is not guaranteed. We only purchase items that have resale potential in today’s market to ensure a fair and viable transaction for both parties.
