​
Our goal is to offer clarity, transparency, and peace of mind every step of the way.

We provide estate sales, cleanouts, and full property liquidation throughout Los Angeles, Long Beach, Orange County, and surrounding Southern California communities. If you’re unsure whether we serve your area, just reach out — we’re happy to confirm.
2. What exactly does an estate sale company do?
An estate sale company manages the pricing, staging, marketing, selling, donation coordination, and cleanout of a home’s belongings. At Sky Duster Estates, we handle everything from start to finish, including post-sale cleanup and preparing the home for sale or move-out.
Do I have enough items for an estate sale?
Most homes do. A typical estate sale includes furniture, décor, kitchen items, tools, electronics, household goods, clothing, and more. If a full estate sale isn’t the best fit, we also offer buyouts or cleanout services, depending on what works for your home.
Do you offer full property buyouts?
Yes. If you’re looking for a fast turnaround, we offer full home buyouts and liquidation services. We’ll purchase all remaining items and clear the home entirely.
What kind of items sell best?
Estate sales often include everything from tools, furniture, and electronics to vintage clothing, art, jewelry, and rare collectibles. You’d be surprised what can sell—our team knows how to price and present it.
Do I need to clean or organize before you arrive?
No — please don’t.
We prefer to see everything as-is so we can properly identify what has value, donation potential, or requires disposal. Many small everyday items that clients would normally throw away are actually very sellable.
How are your fees structured?
Our fees are commission-based and vary depending on the size and scope of the sale. We’ll discuss everything transparently up front. No hidden charges.
What happens to unsold items?
We work with you to determine next steps. Many clients opt for donation, haul-away, or storage for a future sale. We can help with all of it.
