About Melrose Treasures Estate Sales Melrose Treasures Estate Sales is a Los Angeles–based, family-run estate sale firm specializing in the professional liquidation of homes and curated collections. The company is led by Michael Deshaies and his wife, Elaine Deshaies, who together bring a rare combination of market expertise, hands-on experience, and personal stewardship to every estate they manage. Long before founding Melrose Treasures Estate Sales, Michael spent years deeply immersed in the estate sale ecosystem as a buyer, collector, and student of the trade. That experience—acquired before online price guides and instant lookups became commonplace—provided firsthand exposure to how estates were handled, how pricing decisions were made, and where value was often overlooked. By researching, observing, and participating in hundreds of sales, he developed a disciplined understanding of pricing strategy, market demand, and presentation—insights that now directly benefit clients. That buyer-first perspective shaped the foundation of Melrose Treasures. It allows the team to avoid common mistakes, identify hidden value, and position items strategically to maximize returns. From fine art, antiques, silver, and jewelry to everyday household contents, every item is evaluated with care, research, and respect for its place within the estate. Elaine Deshaies plays an integral role in the business, contributing to organization, presentation, and client communication—ensuring that each sale is executed with clarity, professionalism, and discretion. Together, Michael and Elaine personally oversee the preparation and execution of every estate sale, maintaining direct involvement rather than delegating critical decisions. Much of Melrose Treasures Estate Sales’ business comes from referrals and repeat clients—a reflection of the trust families place in the firm during important transitions. Each estate is handled with integrity, attention to detail, and a clear goal: to deliver measurable results while making the process as smooth and respectful as possible.
