Your Complete Estate, Completely Handled.

Estate Appraisal

We assess every item with the expertise of seasoned fine art and antiques specialists. You receive a comprehensive written valuation.

Estate Sales

From organization and staging to marketing and conducting the sale, we handle every element with care and professionalism.

Fine Art & Antiques

Decades of expertise in fine art, mid-century modern furniture, and decorative antiques means your most valuable pieces are in the right hands.

Private Treaty Sales

For pieces that deserve a more considered approach, we connect sellers with qualified private buyers discreetly and efficiently.

Estate Clearance

Once the sale is complete, we manage the full clearance of the property — donating, recycling, and removing what remains.

Executor Support

We work directly with estate attorneys and executors to ensure every asset is properly documented, valued, and accounted for.

Cash Buyout

We purchase your entire estate outright — one transaction, one payment, fast closing. No waiting for buyers, no commission fees, no uncertainty.

On-Site Sales

For families who prefer the familiarity of their own home, we organize and manage professional on-site sales events at the property — handling all logistics, pricing, marketing, and staffing from start to finish.

Living Estates

For clients who are downsizing or relocating, we handle every detail with the same care and discretion — on your timeline, at your pace.

Partial Estates

You don’t need to sell everything. We work with you to identify the right pieces and handle their sale with the same expertise we bring to any full estate.

Your Questions, Answered

About the Process

We can typically arrange an initial consultation within 48 hours. For time-sensitive situations, we do our best to accommodate same-week visits.

One of our specialists visits the property, listens to your situation, and assesses the full scope of the estate — at no charge and with no obligation. We then recommend the approach that best fits your needs and timeline.

Not at all. We ask that you leave everything exactly as it is. Part of what we do is assess the estate in its entirety — including items you may not realize have value.

About the Buyout Option

A cash buyout means Reeves Estates purchases your entire estate inventory outright — one transaction, one payment, fast closing. No waiting for buyers, no commission fees, no uncertainty.

Our specialists draw on decades of expertise in fine art, antiques, and mid-century modern furniture to assess fair market value. We make a transparent, no-obligation offer based on that assessment.

Yes. We handle partial estates and work with you to identify which pieces to include.

About Living Estates

A living estate sale is for clients who are downsizing or relocating. We handle everything with the same care and discretion we bring to any estate, on your timeline.

Absolutely. This is one of the most common situations we handle. We work sensitively with families during what can be an emotional transition, managing the process so you can focus on what matters most.

About the Gallery & Sales

Our 5,000 square foot gallery in Houston’s Midtown gives us a significant advantage. Rather than a rushed sale in a private home, we bring the estate to our gallery — presenting pieces in a professional environment that attracts serious buyers.

We serve Houston and the surrounding area, with particular experience in River Oaks, Midtown, and Houston’s condo and high-rise communities.

Yes. We organize and manage professional on-site sales events — handling all logistics, pricing, marketing, and staffing from start to finish.

Practical Questions

We provide a full accounting of all items sold and issue payment promptly after the sale concludes. Complete transparency at every step.

Options include donation to Houston-area charities, recycling, or removal — we handle all of it so the property is left clean and ready.

Yes. Reeves carries full professional liability insurance and operates in full compliance with Texas state requirements for estate sales and appraisals.

What Our Clients Say

The team at Reeves handled my mother’s entire estate with a level of care I didn’t think was possible. I didn’t have to make a single difficult decision alone.

As an estate attorney, I’ve worked with many estate handlers. Reeves is in a different class — thorough, discreet, and deeply knowledgeable.

Houston’s full-service estate handling specialists

About Reeves

For more than fifty years, Reeves has occupied the corner of Taft and Fairview in Houston’s Midtown — a family business built on three generations of expertise in antiques, mid-century modern furniture, and fine art. Respected by artists, collectors, interior designers, and cultural institutions alike, Reeves has earned a quiet reputation for straight dealing, discernment, and genuine care.

Reeves Estates is the natural extension of that legacy — a full-service estate handling solution for families and executors who want every detail managed with sensitivity and expertise, from the first conversation to the final close.

Our 5,000 square foot gallery space sets us apart. Rather than a rushed sale in a private home, we bring the estate to Midtown — carefully staging and presenting pieces in a considered, gallery-quality environment that honors the collection and attracts serious buyers.

We offer three distinct paths depending on your needs. For estates best suited to an organised sale event, we handle everything in-house — curation, marketing, staffing, and execution. For collections of particular significance, we conduct private liquidations with discretion and care. And for families who prefer the familiarity of their own home, we manage professional on-site sales events at the property itself — combining the intimacy of the setting with the reach and organisation of a seasoned team.

Whatever the circumstances, Reeves Estates offers one point of contact, one trusted family name, and a commitment to handling every piece — and every family — with the respect they deserve.

A proud extension of Reeves Art Gallery — Houston’s trusted art resource since the 1970s.

Your Estate. Uniquely Yours.

Every family comes to this differently. We listen first, and we take the time to understand what matters before we say a word about what’s possible.
