About Hudson's Estate Liquidation, LLC
The following are different services we provide.
On site estate sales
When conducting "on site sales", Hudson's will use the location in which the property is stored, usually a residence. Advertising, arranging/ displaying, appraising, and selling the entire estate contents, remains the responsibility of Hudson's. A reasonable percentage will be earned (usually 30-35%) for services rendered. Depending on location and contents, this method of estate liquidation generally realizes the maximum return for the consignor.
Estate consignment
If for some reason an on site sale is not possible, Hudson's will transport the estate contents from the residence to our showroom/warehouse for a special 2 day estate liquidation sale. Click here for information about the next warehouse sale.
Estate clean outs
A service provided, usually to prepare a residence for the Real Estate market. This service includes, removal of debris, and a "broom sweep" of residence.
Estate buy outs
If for some reason, an on site estate sale is not possible at a given location, or the estate does not have enough value to take on consignment, Hudson's will purchase the entire contents of the estate: Including items such as, furniture, antiques, jewelry, gold and silver coins, pottery, art, clothing, collectibles, kitchenware, garage contents, automobiles, etc... In a short amount of time, a fair, competitive bid will be offered.

Rick,On site estate sale testimonial.
We want you to know how pleased we are with the way you handled Barbara's estate sale for us. We were impressed at our initial meeting with your knowledge and thoroughness, and you met our expectations with your professionalism during the sale and the follow-up. Everything was done as promised, and we could not be happier with the outcome. Thanks to you and your staff for making what seemed to us an overwhelming task very simple--at least from our end.
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that 2011 will be happy, healthy and prosperous for you and yours.

I know that we're supposed to give three references, but I have been using one family for a long time. I started out years ago with Les Hudson's Foothill Auction Gallery and Les Hudson has since past away His grandson Rick Hudson, who cut his teeth on the business, runs a different sort of business that is more modern, and is very competent. He can handle all types of items at his own gallery and warehouse. He will even leave the property "broom clean." He is a businessman and is very direct about how he will conduct business for you I like working with him and I trust him, which is more important He has sold many estates for properties left to the Regents in the past as well, so he is very aware of our requirements. I am happy to refer Rick Hudson.Testimonial from UC Berkeley property administrator. Individual in charge of handling property donations.

Dear Rick,On site estate sale testimonial. Conducted in Oakland, CA.
Thank you for the check and the report on the estate sale for my mother. She will be pleased when I take the check to her tomorrow. My brother bill and I are so grateful that you took care of all the stuff our mother could not take with her. It was a relief to know that the house would be empty, so we cold concentrate on getting mom resettled here in Washington. She is doing well in her new home. Thanks for making the move so much easier.
Sincerely, Terry.
