Estate Sales: Why Location Matters

At Estate Concierge, our journey spans an impressive 27 years, guiding retirees, empty nesters, and executors through the intricate process of selling estates. 


From the charming landscapes of Ontario, Canada, to the bustling streets of the USA, our experience is not confined to a single neighbourhood. Through this extensive journey, we've gained invaluable insights into the nuanced world of estate sales, and one key lesson stands out—location matters.

The Geographic Tapestry of Estate Sales


Every location tells a unique story, and understanding the local dynamics is crucial when navigating the sale of estate items. Items that hold significant value in one area might not necessarily carry the same weight elsewhere. Let's delve into some examples that illuminate the importance of location in the estate selling process.


Furniture: Proximity is Power

The value of furniture can vary based on its proximity to stores and furniture markets. What might be considered ordinary in one locale could be a coveted find in another. Our team has witnessed the ebb and flow of furniture trends, tailoring our approach to each region's distinct preferences.



Art: A Canvas of Regional Demand


Consider the case of Trisha Romance art—a beloved Canadian artist. The demand for her artwork isn’t necessarily higher in Niagara, Ontario, where she hails from. We've crisscrossed the country, shipping her pieces to art enthusiasts who are willing to pay a premium for the connection to the artist's roots. Understanding regional art scenes allows us to unlock the true value of each piece, catering to the demand in specific areas.

Renovations: Crafting Homes for Regional Tastes


Home upgrades and renovations aren't one-size-fits-all. The expectations of buyers and the comparables on the market are deeply rooted in the local landscape. What may be a standard expectation in one neighbourhood might be an exceptional feature in another. Our expertise lies in decoding these regional nuances, ensuring that the homes we work on are not just renovated but are crafted to meet the expectations of the local market.




So, if you're contemplating downsizing, selling an estate, or overseeing the process as an executor, consider the importance of location. Let us be your trusted guide, leveraging our 27 years of experience to ensure that every item finds its place in the heart of the right community.
