At JLA Treasures, we assist individuals, families, executors, trustees and administrators with estate and moving sales, and estate appraisals. 2006 tied our record year with 30 sales completed. In 2005 we finished 25 sales, 2004  was our other year with 30 liquidations, in 2003 we did 24 sales, and our 2002 total was 21.

Over the past twelve years we have completed sales off of Turtle Creek Boulevard; in both Highland Park and University Park; Lakewood; Preston Hollow; far North Dallas; Kessler Park; Lake Highlands; Addison; Richardson; Plano; and Fort Worth. We've sold extremely expensive collectibles and jewels, and bottles of kitchen cleansers. We've retailed cars, trucks and vans, and adopted out pets! We've conducted liquidations with gross sales of over $166,000, all the way down to $10,000! We found and sold more than $12,000 worth of diamond jewelry that was hidden in a decedent's dirty laundry hamper! We've moved clients in, and moved them out (with our own moving van)! NOBODY does more for clients than we do! And NOBODY is more trustworthy! Examples of the services we provide are:

• Pre-sale preparation, decoration of the premises, and pricing

• Research items of an apparent or potential significant value

• Advertising (usually in the Dallas Morning News including reference to this web site, where specific information and pictures of sale items will be available), craigslist.org, and by email to our proprietary list of over 550 dealers and regular customers

• Conducting the sale itself (usually two full days)

• Motor vehicle disposition handled professionally by retailing the vehicle at the sale ourselves, later consignment, or by auction at true wholesale prices by a dealer associate of ours

• Arranging for disposal, consignment (including eBay) or charitable contribution of remaining items

• Cleanup of the premises after the sale (if professional help is required, JLA will arrange at the client's expense)

• Final accounting and payment to the client

With twelve years in the business, and association with the International Society of Appraisers (ISA), www.isa-appraisers.org, we offer ISA-accredited written appraisals of household goods, antiques and collectibles. We can also appraise both collectible and late-model motor vehicles. This can be performed as a stand-alone service billed on an hourly basis, or done as part of an estate or moving sale. You should also be aware that one of our owners/managers has been a trust and estate professional for 32 years (for more information please visit www.trustmangroup.com).

Accordingly, we adhere to strict fiduciary principles in the conduct of our business. Conflicts of interest are always avoided. Excellent references from both client families and from professionals handling estates are available upon request.
