About Estate Sales in Dallas–Fort Worth

The Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex is one of the best estate sale markets in the country. With over 7 million residents spread across Dallas, Fort Worth, and dozens of affluent suburbs like Highland Park, Plano, Frisco, and Southlake, the area produces a steady stream of high-quality estate sales every weekend — many featuring fine Texana, Western art, mid-century modern furniture from the area's mid-century building boom, and substantial jewelry and silver estates.

When estate sales happen in Dallas

The majority of Dallas-area estate sales run Friday through Sunday, with the largest selection appearing on Saturday morning. Many sales open at 9 AM, but serious buyers arrive earlier — most established estate sale companies in the area distribute numbered tickets starting at 7 or 8 AM. In Highland Park and University Park, lines often form an hour before opening for high-end estates.

What you'll find at Dallas estate sales

• Native American pottery and weavings — especially in collections from longtime Texas families
• Ranch and Western collectibles — saddles, spurs, barbed wire, branding irons
• Crystal and china — Waterford, Baccarat, and high-end china services are common in estates
