Services Tailored to Your Needs
Residential Estate Liquidation Solutions
Estate Sales, Strategic Liquidation, & Buyout Solutions
Estate liquidation is the disciplined process of positioning assets for optimal market performance. Depending on the nature of the estate and the client’s objectives, this may include a curated estate sale, a private buyout, targeted consignment, or auction placement.
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation to determine fair market value, identify exceptional pieces, and recommend a strategy aligned with both financial and personal priorities.
Curated Estate Sales
Our estate sales are thoughtfully orchestrated and meticulously executed. Each item is evaluated and priced using current market intelligence and precision valuation methodologies.
Prior to sale, the residence is professionally staged to present assets in their most compelling context; elevating quality, provenance, and appeal. The environment is designed to attract serious, qualified buyers and support strong outcomes.
Exposure is carefully managed, and marketing is directed toward established collectors, dealers, and private buyers. Upon completion, the residence is left cleared and prepared, allowing clients to proceed seamlessly to the next phase.

Private Buyouts
For clients seeking efficiency, certainty, and confidentiality, we offer private buyout solutions.
A buyout involves the direct purchase of an entire estate—or select assets—by Comprehensive Estate Liquidations, LLC. Offers are based on expert evaluation and current market conditions. Upon acceptance, payment is made promptly, assets are professionally removed, and the residence is left cleared and orderly.
This option provides a streamlined, discreet alternative to a public sale.
Selective Auction Placement
Certain assets are best positioned through auction. When appropriate, items are consigned through our trusted network of premier auction houses.
Leveraging long-standing relationships nationwide, we identify the most suitable venue for each piece and collaborate closely with auction specialists to ensure proper placement, presentation, and competitive bidding while maximizing realized value.
With over two decades of experience under his belt, Ragen is not only experienced in handling estates of all sizes, but he has an established network of connections to help your
sale go smoothly.
