One Trusted Partner. Every Detail Managed.

Selling a home is a major undertaking. When that home also holds a lifetime of belongings, the process can feel overwhelming.

Since 1986, Rainier Estates has helped families throughout Bellevue, Seattle, the Eastside, and King County navigate estate transitions, downsizing, and the sale of personal property. Our Real Estate Concierge Service brings everything together—from evaluating belongings and selecting the best sales channels to coordinating property preparation, marketing, and the successful sale of the home.

Whether an estate sale, online auction, selective consignment, or a combination of approaches makes the most sense, we develop a strategy tailored to the property and the family’s goals. We also coordinate trusted professionals for clearing, repairs, painting, landscaping, staging, and other preparations needed to bring the home to market.

Lisa Taylor: Estate Expertise Meets Sotheby’s Real Estate Representation

As the founder of Rainier Estates, a licensed auctioneer, and a top-producing real estate broker with Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty, Lisa Taylor brings a distinctive combination of experience to every transaction.

Her background in estate liquidation, property valuation, marketing, and competitive bidding provides valuable insight into both personal property sales and real estate negotiations.

Rather than hiring separate companies to handle each stage, clients benefit from one point of contact, a coordinated plan, and experienced guidance from the first conversation through closing.

Take what you love. We’ll handle the rest.

The Rainier Estates Real Estate Concierge Process

One Coordinated Plan. From Personal Property to Sold Property.

Every home, estate, and family situation is different. Our Real Estate Concierge Service is designed around your priorities, timeline, and property—bringing together the many moving parts of an estate transition or home sale under one experienced professional.

A Personalized Plan From the Start

We begin by understanding your goals, evaluating the property and its contents, and developing a practical strategy for moving forward. Whether you’re an executor managing an estate, a family preparing for a transition, or a homeowner ready to sell, we help establish priorities and a realistic timeline.

Estate Sales, Auctions & Consignments

Not everything belongs in an estate sale, and not every valuable item belongs at auction. We evaluate personal property and determine which selling methods offer the best opportunities—whether that’s an on-site estate sale, online auction, selective consignment, or exposure to specialized collectors and buyers.

With decades of experience in personal property valuation and estate liquidation, we understand how to identify opportunities and select the right marketplace for each type of item.

Property Preparation & Vendor Coordination

Once the belongings have been addressed, we coordinate the next steps needed to prepare the home for market. This may include clear-outs, donations, inspections, repairs, painting, landscaping, cleaning, and staging.

Our established network of trusted local professionals helps streamline the process. We oversee scheduling, communication, and project coordination, while clients approve and pay for third-party services.

Professional Real Estate Marketing & Representation

As a top-producing broker with Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty, Lisa Taylor brings experienced real estate representation and the marketing resources of an internationally recognized brokerage.

From pricing strategy and professional photography to listing exposure, buyer negotiations, and closing, every detail is managed with the goal of achieving a successful sale.

One Point of Contact. Start to Finish.

Instead of coordinating an estate sale company, multiple contractors, and a separate real estate broker, you work directly with Lisa throughout the process.

That means fewer moving parts for you, consistent communication, and a coordinated strategy that connects the sale of personal belongings with the successful sale of the home.
