Estate Services with a Personal, Hands-On Approach
Appraisals, liquidations, and turnkey estate settlement for families in Southwest Florida and beyond.
Settling an estate is rarely just a real estate transaction. There are furnishings and collectibles to value, belongings to sell, a home to clear, and a family that needs the whole process handled with care. Jet Realty of SWFL offers three estate services, available individually or as one complete package, led by founder Norm Gallivan, who has appraised estates since 1991. We’re not built for high-volume production. You work directly with Norm, and every estate gets a personal, hands-on approach from the first conversation to the final closing.

Jet Estate Appraisals
When you need to know what an estate is truly worth, experience matters. Our founder, Norm Gallivan, has been appraising estates since 1991, bringing more than three decades of hands-on knowledge to every assignment. From household furnishings, collectibles, and personal property to the equipment, inventory, and assets of a business, Norm provides careful, accurate valuations you can rely on.
Whether you’re settling an estate, dividing assets among family members, planning for the future, or preparing for a sale, we’ll give you a clear picture of what you have and what it’s worth, handled with the discretion and respect your family deserves.
Jet Estate Liquidations
Every estate is different, and so is the right way to settle it. That’s why we offer three ways to liquidate an estate and help you choose the one that best fits your timeline, goals, and the contents of the home.
- Estate Sale: We organize, price, advertise, and staff a professional on-site sale, drawing qualified buyers to the home and handling every detail from setup to final cleanup.
- Auction: For estates with valuable, collectible, or specialty items, auction can bring competitive bidding and strong results, reaching buyers who are looking for exactly what you have.
- Buyout: When time matters most, we can make a fair offer to purchase the contents outright, giving you a quick, simple resolution with no sale to wait on.
Whichever path you choose, our experience in appraising estates means you’ll understand what your items are worth before they’re sold. We’ll handle the process with care, honesty, and respect for your family and the belongings that mattered to them.
Jet Turnkey Estate Services
Settling an estate often means coordinating appraisers, sale companies, cleanout crews, and real estate professionals, usually at a time when you have the least energy to spare. With our Turnkey Estate Services, you make one call and we take it from there.
We manage the entire process from beginning to end:
- Appraisal: We start with a professional valuation of the personal property so you know what the estate holds and what it’s worth.
- Liquidation: We sell the contents through an estate sale, auction, or buyout, whichever best serves your goals and timeline.
- Real Estate Sale: Once the home is cleared, we handle the sale of the property itself, taking you all the way to closing.
One team, one point of contact, and one seamless plan. You don’t have to juggle multiple companies or wonder what comes next. We keep you informed at every step while handling the work, so you can focus on your family. It’s the simplest, most complete way to settle an estate, and it’s ideal for out-of-town heirs, busy executors, and anyone who wants the job done right without the stress.
