Austin's estate auction house · since 1983

Sell an Estate in Austin

Austin Auction Gallery is the local auction house families, executors, trustees, and advisors call when fine art, antiques, jewelry, silver, and an entire household need a serious market.

Our specialists work from our 25,000-square-foot North Austin gallery, then bring your property to collectors and dealers bidding live and worldwide online. Austin is not an outpost for us—it is our home market.

The home-market advantage

Local knowledge. A much larger market.

We start at the house.

For qualified estates and substantial collections, our Austin team can meet you at the property, identify what belongs at auction, and explain the next steps plainly. You can also begin with photographs, a phone call, or an appointment at our gallery.

We coordinate packing and transport to our insured facility, so you do not have to sort, box, or move an entire household before asking for help.

We sell far beyond Austin.

Local does not mean limited. Every appropriate lot is cataloged, researched, photographed, and marketed to the people most likely to compete for it—collectors and dealers across the country and around the world.

That is the difference between a local weekend sale and an auction built to find the market for important property.

Results, not promises

Frequently asked questions

Why choose Austin Auction Gallery for an Austin estate?

Austin Auction Gallery is based here, not simply serving Austin from elsewhere. Since 1983, our specialists have evaluated, cataloged, and sold fine art, antiques, jewelry, silver, furniture, and complete estates from our North Austin gallery to bidders worldwide.

Do you come to homes in Austin and Central Texas?

Yes. For qualified estates and substantial collections, we schedule local walk-throughs and coordinate professional packing and transport to our insured 25,000-square-foot gallery at 8414 Anderson Mill Road. You do not need to empty a house or rent a truck before contacting us.

Can you handle an entire estate, not just the best items?

Yes. We create a plan for the whole property: what belongs in a catalog auction, what can sell through The Warehouse, and what may be better handled another way. Families, executors, trustees, attorneys, and real estate professionals work with one accountable local team.

What does an Austin estate evaluation cost?

A preliminary evaluation is confidential, free, and carries no obligation. Start with photographs and a brief description, call us, or arrange a walk-through for a substantial estate or collection.

How is an auction different from a local estate sale?

An estate sale prices property for a weekend of local foot traffic. Our live and online auctions market each lot to collectors and dealers nationwide and worldwide, with specialist cataloging, photography, research, and competitive bidding.
