About Privet

Every sale starts with Kristen in the house. She walks through it with you, talks about timing and anything the family is keeping, and comes back with a plan: what goes in the sale, and dates for bidding, pickup and the cleanout, set around your closing or estate deadline.

Then her team takes over. They sort every room into lots, set aside what you’re keeping, and photograph and describe each piece. The sale runs on Privet’s AuctionNinja storefront for about a week, so bidders compete for each lot instead of haggling at the door, and no strangers walk through your home. Lots close one by one on the final evening.

Winners collect on scheduled pickup days with Kristen’s team on site, so you don’t need to be there. Many of her sellers live out of state or are settling a parent’s estate from a distance; Kristen keeps them updated, and they can follow the auction online like any bidder. When the last piece is gone, what’s left is cleared, the house is broom-clean, and you receive one settlement for the sale.

Not every job is a whole house of furniture. Before a renovation or teardown, Privet sells kitchens, appliances, lighting, doors and fixtures along with the contents, so less goes into a dumpster. Kristen has also liquidated antique and design stores.
