Transitions by National Rarities

Transitions is a division of National Rarities, created solely to provide estate buying services to families who need a trusted partner during their time of grief.

In 2011, Louis Clough, co-founder of National Rarities, experienced the loss of his grandmother, who lived in another state. Louis’ mother spent three stressful months managing the tedious and time-consuming details that accompany the death of a loved one, including distribution of assets. She quickly identified the items that held sentimental value and assigned those to family members. Then, she moved on to the items that held value, but were of no interest to the family. Louis and National Rarities came in to facilitate this important estate transaction and helped his mom to check off one of the many items on her lengthy to-do list.

We have found that the 80/20 rule applies to an estate. Not including real estate, on average 20% of the estate’s belongings represent 80% of the total value. By leveraging our robust and extensive marketplace, we are able to purchase a wide variety of valuables and offer the greatest return for those items.

We are here to provide a bit of relief during a very difficult time.
