ABOUT US
WELCOME MESSAGE
Since 1948, our commitment to excellence has driven us to serve individuals, families, and Fortune 500 companies with unparalleled dedication. From delivering top-tier white glove corporate moving services to esteemed companies like Microsoft, Google, Snapchat, Amazon, Deloitte & Touche, Blue Origin, Kraft Foods, Boeing, and many others. Since 1995, our legacy is one of reliability and distinction. As a family-owned and operated business, our roots trace back to The Philadelphia Trading Post, an estate liquidator established in 1948. Over the decades, we flourished, expanding to include up to eight antique, new, and pre- owned furniture stores by the 1980s. In 2014, we pivoted, closing our retail chapter to focus solely on the auction and corporate moving industries. Since 2009, our primary hub of operation has been the Lehigh Valley. In 2020, we reimagined our services, consolidating them into a cohesive offering known as estate services. This strategic consolidation empowered us to specialize in providing comprehensive estate solutions to individuals, attorneys, realtors, and senior transition specialists, with an emphasis on real estate transactions, fine art and luxury goods. As a single point of contact, we facilitate all aspects of estate liquidation and real estate preparation, from selling automobiles and estate jewelry to fine art and real estate properties. At the heart of our operations lies a relentless pursuit of excellence. We continually strive to improve our services and exceed our customers’ expectations, ensuring that every interaction with us is marked by unparalleled quality and satisfaction.
