Every home holds history — and every transition deserves to be handled with care, clarity, and respect.

Whether you’re managing an estate, preparing for a sale, or seeking thoughtful guidance through a period of change, Magnolia & Co. offers a structured, considered approach designed to bring order, ease, and intention to the process.

Each engagement is tailored to the client, the home, and the circumstances. The process below reflects a typical framework rather than a fixed formula.

1. Consultation & Planning

We begin with a conversation — in person or virtual — to understand your situation, priorities, and timeline, and to determine how Magnolia & Co. can best support you.

Following this consultation, we outline a recommended path forward. For some clients, this involves a defined advisory engagement focused on clarity, sequencing, and decision-making. For others, it becomes the foundation for an estate or content sale.

In all cases, scope, responsibilities, and next steps are clearly defined before any work begins.

2. Estate Assessment & Sale Preparation

When an estate or content sale is part of the engagement, Magnolia & Co. becomes deeply involved in preparing items for sale.

This phase may include:

• Reviewing and assessing belongings through a market-informed lens

• Researching, valuing, and pricing items appropriately

• Photographing and presenting items to highlight their value and story

• Establishing a sale strategy tailored to the estate and the home

Sentimental, high-value, or sensitive items are always handled with discretion and respect.

3. Estate & Content Sale or Transition Coordination

If the engagement includes an estate or content sale, Magnolia & Co. manages the process end-to-end — whether conducted on-site, online, or through a hybrid format.

This includes:

• Sale setup and presentation

• Buyer coordination and on-site management

• Oversight of transactions and outcomes

When a sale is not part of the engagement, this phase instead focuses on coordinating trusted professionals — such as movers, donation partners, or cleaners — to support the next stage of the transition.

4. Post-Sale & Next-Step Coordination

Following a sale or major decision milestone, Magnolia & Co. coordinates appropriate next steps as needed.

This may include:

• Arranging donation pickup for remaining items

• Coordinating responsible disposal where appropriate

• Confirming readiness of a home for listing, turnover, or handoff

Execution of these services is carried out by trusted affiliated professionals, with Magnolia & Co. ensuring alignment with the overall estate strategy and timeline.

This step often brings the greatest physical and emotional relief, allowing clients to move forward without lingering tasks or uncertainty.

5. Closing the Chapter

As the engagement concludes, we provide clarity around outcomes and next steps — whether that includes sale reporting and settlement, or confirmation that a space is ready for its next phase.

Our goal is for clients to move forward feeling supported, informed, and free from lingering uncertainty.
