Our Mission
At The Root Cellar Estate Sale Co., we believe that estate sales are more than just transactions — they’re transitions. Whether you're downsizing, handling a loved one’s estate, or helping a client prepare a home for market, our mission is simple: to make the process easier, more dignified, and even enjoyable.
Founded with the vision of bringing warmth and professionalism to the estate sale industry, our team brings years of experience in antiques, appraisals, marketing, and cleanout services. We serve families and professionals throughout Chautauqua County, NY and Erie, PA, with deep respect for their homes, heirlooms, and memories.
Estate Sale Services
We specialize in full-service estate sales for all types of properties, including family homes, downsizing seniors, and luxury estates. Our team handles everything from item organization and pricing to sale day staffing and follow-up support.
Have vintage items, antiques, or collectibles? Our team includes experienced appraisers who will evaluate and price items accurately to help maximize value. We even work with auction house partners for high-end or rare pieces that may perform better in a specialized market.
After the sale, we offer optional estate cleanout services, including donation drop-offs, responsible disposal, and final property prep. Our goal is to leave your space clean, clear, and ready for what’s next.
