Local experience
See examples in our sold-item record, without assuming the same value for another household. The details of every estate are different. This is a verified review from a customer who identified Minnetonka as their location.
“I love how organized Laura is!! My MIL's house sold and we had a short time frame to remove everything from her 6,000 square foot house. Laura worked with our schedule and rearranged her schedule to make it work. The volume of items in the house made it very difficult to find anything of value and all we wanted were the family photos. I called Laura the day she started and told her our concern and worry the pictures would be lost. Laura said no problem and had her staff keep a look out for any family photo albums. The team was able to save many photos and I am very grateful for their willingness to keep a look out. Laura also collected all the keys in the house just in case we needed them. It turns out we did! One of the keys unlocked a chest at my MIL's other property. It had been locked for years! The thought of liquidating my MIL's house was extremely stressful for my husband and I. Laura took all that stress away. In addition to the house, Laura also sent my MIL's two cars to auction! Again, something we did not want to deal with especially since the cars were not in great condition. Laura had the cars towed and sent to auction. The whole process was stress free!!!”
Minnetonka estate services
Choose help with selected belongings or a full household liquidation in Minnetonka. The services below cover different needs and amounts of work. No public sale at the house, and no sign in the yard.
Estate sales
A traditional tag sale fills the house with shoppers for a weekend. We take a different route: items are moved to the venues that fit them and sold there, while the Minnetonka home stays quiet and private from start to finish.
Explore estate sales →Estate liquidation & cleanout
Sorting, selling, donating, and clearing run as one service under one customized plan. Whether the property is a lakeside home or a rambler in an established neighborhood, the result is the same: an empty house, ready for whatever comes next.
Explore estate liquidation & cleanout →Downsizing
Thinning a household you have kept for years is easier with a plan and a patient crew. You decide what travels with you; our team sells, donates, and clears everything else, at a pace the family sets.
Explore downsizing →High-value auction sales
Art, sterling, jewelry, and collections that surface in Minnetonka estates deserve real buyers, not a driveway price tag. We act as your broker, researching each piece and placing it with the partner auction house or specialist buyer suited to its market.
Explore high-value auction sales →As-is buyouts
For families who want the estate settled in a single decision, a written offer can consider the property and its contents together. We present it alongside the liquidation and listing options so the comparison is honest.

Verified Minnetonka client review
“We used Laura and Miller Estate Solutions & Services to handle the disposition of my mother's 5,000 square foot house she lived in for 35 years. From the 1st meeting Laura made us feel comfortable and confident her team would maximize our return as well as have the house empty and ready to begin the process of selling the house. They far exceeded our expectations and made us all feel very comfortable with the process. If you are in position like we had, I would give them a “five+ star rating””

It varies with volume, access, condition, and timing, and proceeds from sold items may offset part of the cost. Everything, including commissions and payment timing, is stated in the customized plan before work begins.
No. We are estate liquidators who sell off-site, so there is never a public sale at the house, a line at the door, or a sign at the curb.
Yes, and most projects involve both. Finer items are researched and placed with the right venues or specialist buyers, while everyday contents are sold, donated, or cleared as the plan directs.
After the walkthrough and customized plan, our team sorts the household, moves sellable items to appropriate venues, and reports the results. The home itself never opens to the public.
Yes. Miller Estate Solutions is fully insured, BBB A+ rated, ASEL certified, and family owned since 2001, with our base in nearby Shoreview.
That is usually the whole point of the schedule. Full liquidations typically run in days, and we set the timeline around your closing or listing date before starting.
It is the whole process of turning a household into settled decisions: sorting what the family keeps, researching what has value, routing items to the buyers and auction venues suited to each category, coordinating donations, and clearing the rest. For a Minnetonka property it typically runs in days rather than the weeks an on-site sale calendar requires, because the selling happens off-site.
Yes. The as-is buyout is an all cash offer at fair market value covering the home and its remaining contents, with no inspection, no appraisal, and no repairs. Miller Estate Solutions pays all closing costs and can close in as little as seven days, for a Minnetonka family who wants one transaction rather than a project.
Carefully, and at your pace. Miller Estate Solutions has worked with Minnetonka families through exactly this since 2001, and the team is used to stopping when someone needs a minute. The physical work gets carried by somebody else so the family can spend its energy elsewhere.
The contents side of it, yes: what comes along, what family takes, what sells off-site, what is donated, and what is cleared. Miller Estate Solutions does not do the moving itself and refers a mover when one is needed, so nobody is left coordinating that piece alone.
Yes. Garages, sheds, workshops, and basements are usually where the volume actually lives, and they are part of the scope rather than an add-on. Tools, lawn equipment, and shop contents often carry real resale value.
No. Full houses are routine work, not a story anyone tells later. Miller Estate Solutions has cleared homes at every level of full, and the team's job is to sort and clear, not to have an opinion about how the house got that way.
