A clear way forward
You bring the questions.
I’ll help with the next steps.
Thoughtful care, from start to finish.
First, we listen.
We walk through the home in person or virtually, talk about what matters to your family, and decide together whether a sale makes sense.
Then, we do the work.
We research, organize, price, and prepare the sale. Your private dashboard keeps you up to date, whether you’re down the street or across the country.
You see the whole picture.
You receive a clear record of the sale, a final report, and an agreed plan for what remains. No wondering where things went.
Care you can actually see
Your sale, at your fingertips.
Review finds, follow your sale, and see your final report. All in one private place.

Meet Dani
The way we pass
things on matters.
For 20 years, I’ve helped businesses simplify complicated work with better processes and practical technology. That experience helps me bring order to a sale and keep people informed.
I’m a collector, too. I know a piece can mean far more than its price. After years studying estate sales, antiques, vintage, and what buyers respond to, I started Wander House to help meaningful belongings find someone who will appreciate them next.
I’ve also lost people I love. I know how overwhelming the practical decisions can feel when you’re already carrying so much. I built our tools to make the process easier to follow, and bring my knowledge of vintage, buyer trends, and social media to each sale.
LET’S TALKA few things you may be wondering
It’s okay to
have questions.
Do I need to clean out the house first?
No. You don’t need to organize everything before reaching out. We’ll talk about what to keep and how preparation works during the first walk-through.
What if I live out of state?
Helping out-of-state families is one of our specialties. Your personalized client dashboard makes it easy to follow sales by category, see photo updates, and review important finds. You can let me know what to keep or sell and message me directly, all in one place. I handle the work here, so you can stay in the loop from wherever you are.
How do fees and payment work?
There is no upfront fee. A minimum fee applies, and agreed expenses may also come out of the sale. Your written quote explains the costs before you sign. Your share and final report are provided within five business days after the last sale day.
What happens to things that don’t sell?
They still belong to you. We agree on a plan before the sale. Coordination of donation pickups or hauling is an optional service with its own written price.
Are estate sales only for inherited homes?
No. We also help with downsizing, moves, divorce, and collections you’re ready to pass on. We can coordinate with your probate attorney or real estate agent when needed.
How will I stay informed during the sale?
Your private dashboard brings together sales by category, photo updates, important finds, and messages. It’s one place to follow the sale and reach us.
Can we keep something you find?
When a notable find needs your attention, you can review its photo and choose KEEP IT or SELL IT. Submitted choices have a two-minute undo window. Keeping a piece reduces the inventory available for the sale.
Can our first walkthrough be virtual?
Yes. We can walk through the home in person or virtually, talk about your needs, and decide together whether a sale makes sense.
What do we receive at the end?
Your closing package includes the final sale report and heirloom records for retained pieces. You receive copies to keep after dashboard access closes.
