Do you have a property coming to market that is full of belongings?
Do you need to point a downsizing client in the right direction?

We have a team of experts who specialize in valuing various types of assets.

For agents and referral partners
If you are a real estate agent, attorney, trustee, move manager, or estate professional with a client who has things to sell, email us directly at admin@revereauctions.com. That inbox feeds our evaluation queue, so your client’s items are logged and in front of a specialist without a hand-off. Our general info@ address is not connected to that queue, so items sent there take longer to reach the right person.
Please send one email per client or property, laid out like this:
Subject line: Consignment inquiry – owner’s last name – city, state
In the email:
- Your name, company, and phone number
- The owner’s name, phone number, email, and the property address (or at least the city and ZIP)
- Your timeline: closing date, move-out date, or any deadline the house has to be empty by
- A short list of the items, one line each: what it is, the artist or maker if known, approximate size, and anything you know about its history
- Whether you would like an on-site visit
Photos:
- Attach the photos directly to the email as JPG, PNG, or iPhone HEIC files. Shared links such as Google Drive, Dropbox, or iCloud albums are not pulled into our system and will be missed.
- Send full-size images, not thumbnails. Photos straight from a phone are ideal.
- For each notable piece, one overall shot plus any signature, label, mark, or the back.
- If the house is too full to photograph everything, send a few overall shots of each room and close-ups of the best pieces.
We reply with an auction estimate or a request for more information, and for larger properties we can usually schedule a walkthrough within a few days. Ask us about our referral commissions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is an auction the best way to liquidate the contents of a home?
Auctions are the best way to liquidate high value estates. Auctions provide an easy and transparent way to sell entire estates. Our auctions provide the highest cash value outcomes due to their lack of an upper limit, supported by easy global participation and a large network of collectors, institutions, and dealers constantly monitoring our sales. Auctions also ensure that everything sells and should anything not sell, we will reach out to you to discuss the best options for your item.
I am managing a property, where do I start?
First, you should assess the goals for your property.
- Do you need an estate appraisal for beneficiary or tax purposes?
- How quickly do you need to sell the property?
- Are you in touch with a lawyer or are you handling the property sale without one?
- Do you know what you would like to keep in the collection?
- Is the property in probate?
- Is there a deadline you need to be out of the home by?
Once you know what your needs are, we can better assist you. Feel free to reach out to us at any point in the process for insight. We are happy to help throughout the entire process.
How should I have the contents of a home evaluated?
For large properties, we like to schedule appointments for the appraisers to view the collection in person. This makes it easier for us to assess a large quantity of items for you. We still like to get an idea of what you have to best prepare for this appointment, so we appreciate having preliminary images before scheduling.
*If your collection/estate is too large to photograph each item, please send a few general images so we can get a sense of what you may have.
Will you visit my house or should I send photos?
Yes – to both! In person appointments can be scheduled on-site at your home. We still like to get an idea of what you have before making appointments to ensure that we can help you sell your collection.
Note: If your collection/estate is too large to photograph each item, please send a few general images so we can get a sense of what you may have.
I’m not sure if my collection is worth anything. How do I find out?
We offer FREE online evaluations to determine your collection’s estimated auction value. Starting the process is as simple as sharing photos with us. You can use our online form or you can send images to our email address for review and we’ll take it from there!
