McNeil Liquidations

Ours is a full service estate liquidation firm in central Oklahoma.

Although we’re based in Oklahoma City, we’ve conducted many hundreds of estate sales all across the state. (Take a glance at our testimonials page to read just a small handful of the letters of reference we’ve received from past clients far and wide.)

We do nothing but prepare and conduct estate sales and write professional appraisals, so we can (and do!) dedicate all our time to clients across the state.

An estate need not be filled with antiques, fine art and jewelry in order for a liquidation to be successful.  On the contrary, we routinely liquidate estates of all types and sizes.  Also, no death need have occurred for an orderly estate liquidation to occur.  We often work for those who just wish to downsize.  We also conduct sales for those who are moving, couples who are divorcing, businesses that are liquidating etc.

The process begins simply.  First, we come and view the estate in question.  (This consultation is always complimentary.)  At this time, we’ll also be glad to discuss any special needs you may have, as we recognize that each estate is unique in its needs.  Our commission is based upon what we estimate the gross sales from the estate will be.  Sometimes we may quote you smaller commissions on particular items (e.g., automobiles, recreational vehicles, boats, farm implements etc.).

Once we sign a contract with you, we work patiently and efficiently.  We  understand that closing an estate can be exhausting and even traumatic, so we strive to minimize our clients’ problems all throughout the process.

We clean, organize and display all items in the home, and we either remove or drape those items which aren’t for sale.  We separate household trash from merchandise to be sold.  (No need for you to do this beforehand, as we do the work for you!)

We price all items to be sold based upon our many years of experience as well as knowledge of current market comparables.  Should an outside expert be needed for consultation during the research/pricing process (e.g., with large gems, certain firearms, coins/stamps etc.), we take care of matters quickly and discreetly.

We provide and set up shelving, lighting, mirrors, drapes, tables, locked and lighted showcases, risers, clothing racks, jewelry trays, cash registers and all other necessary equipment.

We obtain the necessary municipal permit(s) for the sale, then send out e-flyers about the upcoming sale to the many thousands of customers already in our database.  We also create, place and pay for advertising in the most appropriate local newspaper(s).

We keep track of what our customers are asking for, and we let these customers know via e-flyers and newspaper advertisements that the items they seek will be in an upcoming sale.

We post preview photos to this website so that our thousands of customers can see merchandise that will be for sale.  (To see current sale preview pics, simply click on the “Upcoming Sales” link.)

Most antiques dealers, jewelry buyers, non-profit organizations and interior decorators hold tax exemption permits.  (In Oklahoma, so do veterans.)  We collect a photocopy of a customer’s tax exemption permit on each and every non-taxable sale.  After the sale, we remit collected sales taxes to the state and keep permanent records of the tax exemption permits that were used at the sale.

Our friendly and reliable staff waits on each and every customer on sale day(s), making sure to keep meticulous records for you as each ticket is written.

We take care of all security arrangements, including, if needed, the hiring of a police officer with full jurisdiction.

We collect the information required by the local District Attorney on checks written, and we alone are responsible for bad checks.

We arrange for charity pick-ups and/or buy-out brokers after your sale, and we (unless otherwise specified) leave your home broom-clean once the sale is over.  With very high end items, we sometimes even arrange to have the items placed into an out-of-state auction house.

We’ll work with your realtor to expedite the sale of your home, and we’ll be happy to provide you with top rate professional referrals for everything from realty to mortgage services, from housekeeping to electrical work, and from general contracting to plumbing.  (We even refer other professional liquidators as needed!)

In short, we do the work for YOU, the client, and strive to make you as much money as possible in as short a time as possible.

Our commissions are competitive; our service is comprehensive.

n.b.:  Under no circumstances do we buy estates, nor do we sell our mailing list/customer database. Your trust, privacy and peace of mind are of paramount importance to us.

We’re happy to answer any questions you  may have should you be considering a moving sale, a consolidation sale, liquidating a loved one’s estate, or even liquidating your own estate.  Feel free to call us at (405) 820.2814 or (405) 949.9935.  You may also send an e-mail query to Oklappraiser@aol.com.
