For those that have been named an executor of an estate or are looking to downsize a home, NorthStar Moving® Company, the leading eco-luxury mover in California, has unveiled a new customized package with A.N. Abell Auction Company to alleviate the stress and uncertainty of selling treasured possessions.
According to the Demand Institute, more than 40% of Americans ages 50 to 64 plan to move within the next five years or so. Baby boomers are deciding they don’t need their spacious homes anymore and at the same time, they are often handed the responsibility of selling their parents’ estates. Both transitions are overwhelming and emotional. Through this new partnership with Abell Auction, NorthStar Moving is making moving and estate sales a one-step, seamless process.
As seen on PBS’ Market Warriors, Abell Auction personally guides clients through the entire process. First, they will evaluate and assess auction items, then remove the auction items in a discrete, non-disruptive manner and deliver them safely to their warehouse, where they will be stored and insured until auction. The company attracts the very best buyers and will carefully assign the items to the best fitting auction. Finally, they auction the items off at their weekly or quarterly auction and send the client a nice check.
“Over the past few years we have been witness to the McMansion generation downsizing and the influx of baby boomers caring for their parents’ possessions,” said Laura McHolm, co-founder of NorthStar Moving. “There is emotional pain in both scaling back and having to sell cherished family belongings. We have walked many of our clients through the two processes and now we are thrilled to have the experts at Abell Auction by our side to ensure our clients’ possessions get the care and return they deserve.”
“We couldn’t be happier to team up with NorthStar Moving to make a positive impact on those that are overwhelmed by the thought of an estate sale,” said Joseph J. Baratta, VP of client development, Abell Auction Company. “An auction is often the best and most cost-effective way to sell that rare and valuable item. Our family of experts pride themselves on providing a relaxed, non-intimidating experience and finding the best match for a seller and a buyer.”
This new package has garnered a nickname and can be requested individually or combined with any of NorthStar Moving’s luxury services to address a customer’s specific moving needs:
