Listing Standards
This page explains how businesses appear on Estate Pro Directory and what a listing does and does not tell you.
Who can be listed
Estate Pro Directory lists businesses that offer estate-related services: estate sale companies and liquidators, senior move managers, junk removal and hauling, appraisers and auctioneers, consignment and resale shops, professional organizers, estate planning and elder law attorneys, pawn shops, gold and silver buyers, antique dealers, and thrift stores.
Listings come from publicly available business information and from free submissions by business owners. Basic listings are free.
How to submit a business
Use the free listing form to submit a business. Provide the business name, category, address, city and state, phone number, and website if one exists, plus a short description of the services offered.
How listings are reviewed
New submissions are held for review before they are published. A reviewer checks that the business fits a listed category and that the submission is not spam or a duplicate. Submissions that do not fit may not be published.
We periodically review published listings for missing information, possible duplicates, links that no longer work, and categories that may not fit. Listings are corrected or removed only after a manual review.
What we do not verify
We do not verify licenses, certifications, insurance, bonding, service areas, or the quality of any business. A listing is not an endorsement or a recommendation.
Where a license or insurance matters for your project, ask the business for proof and check with the relevant state agency or state bar.
What we publish
Each listing shows the business name, category, city and state, and the description, phone number, and website we have on file when they exist. We do not publish ratings or reviews.
A "Visit Business Website" link is shown only when the address on file appears to be the business's own website. Links to third-party directory pages or social media profiles are labeled as such.
Featured placements are paid advertising
Businesses can pay for a featured placement, which is labeled "Featured · Sponsored" and may appear higher on pages. Website links in featured listings are marked as sponsored.
Paying for a featured placement does not change how a listing is reviewed and does not imply verification, approval, or endorsement.
Reporting incorrect information
If you notice a listing that is wrong, closed, duplicated or in the wrong category, please report incorrect information. Include the business name, city and the page address if you have it.
Corrections
Business owners can request changes through our listing correction form. A reviewer compares the request with the existing listing and may contact you to confirm the details before making a change.
Removal requests
To ask us to remove a listing for your business, send a removal request. We may ask you to confirm that you represent the business. If the listing has an active featured placement, please also mention it so the subscription can be handled.
