Who We Are

Established in 2004, after a 25 year run as founder and owner of The Antique House, Diane DellaValle has developed a reputation as a premiere Member of the estate liquidation business. After she closed her store on 12-31-2004, she took the courses necessary to become an accredited certified personal property appraiser. Being old school, she didn’t realize that the trend in today’s world is a one-word catchy business name, and attempting to ‘say it all’, she filed her Fictitious Business Name Statement with L.A. County as “All Personal Property Appraisals & Estate Liquidations, ” never noticing that the name was so long it truncated, omitting the last word, ‘Liquidation”. There were literally no consequences other than providing a great deal of amusement. But on the bright side, no one would want to steal that name with or without the missing last word!

Diane puts her heart and soul into providing topnotch results for every family.  She will treat you with kindness and respect, keeping you informed of the process up front and as it unfolds.  Your sale will be run by a company that operates legally and with integrity. Her team operates in concert, and over the course of the process, no matter which member of the team you are dealing with, you will be in capable hands. Diane realizes that having to host an estate sale is a relatively rare event that most families are facing for the first time.  Your questions are welcome.
