Need Estate Sale Services?
At Desert Lotus Estate Sales, we bring a heartfelt and compassionate approach to helping families manage estate sales, downsizing, and move-outs across the Greater New Orleans and Greater Mobile areas. As the owner of Desert Lotus Vintage, my years of curating vintage treasures have instilled in me a deep respect for the unique story behind each item. After moving across the country many times myself, I also understand firsthand how challenging it can be to let go—and that perspective shapes the care and sensitivity we bring to every sale.
We know that managing an estate sale often comes during difficult transitions, whether due to relocation, downsizing, or the loss of a loved one. Our goal is to ease that burden. With attention to detail and a thoughtful approach, our team handles everything from start to finish—evaluating, pricing, staging, marketing, and conducting the sale itself.
✨ What We Offer
We charge a flat commission fee, which includes full clean-out of any remaining items after the sale. No hidden costs or surprise fees—just one clear, straightforward rate that covers the entire process.
We also handle the advertising and outreach, promoting your sale through:
-
Our growing social media platforms
-
EstateSales.net, where thousands of shoppers browse daily
-
Our exclusive email list of loyal Desert Lotus shoppers who love a good treasure hunt
💛 Whether you’re honoring a loved one’s belongings or preparing for a new chapter, we tailor our services to your needs:
-
Estate Sales: From cherished antiques to everyday household goods, we carefully organize, stage, and sell with intention and professionalism.
-
Downsizing Support: Let us help you sort through what to keep, sell, or donate—making the process less overwhelming.
-
Move-Outs: If you're relocating, we’ll help ensure everything left behind is sold or cleared out respectfully and efficiently.
Every family and situation is unique, and we are deeply committed to offering a personal, respectful experience that brings peace of mind during a time of transition.

Client Testimonials
"Not one regret! So grateful. A real professional.
Choosing Desert Lotus Estate Sales and working with owner Sharifah McKay was one of the best decisions I could have made during an incredibly difficult time. The process of clearing out a family home of a lifetime of memories and treasures requires a high level of trust; I had no idea how that would feel. So many emotions. Sharifah’s positive attitude and professional demeanor were a constant source of reassurance.
From the very beginning, nothing seemed too big or too small for her to tackle. Her excellent communication skills meant she kept me in the loop always, providing peace of mind during a stressful period. She and her team treated our family home with the utmost respect, and their highly organized approach was evident in every stage of the process.
The promotion and management of the sale truly stood out. Sharifah’s impressive social media presence generated significant interest, leading to a very successful event. Everyone on her team was just as amazing. Her crew of Sunny, Denise, Ashly, and Cherish were all phenomenal, handling every detail with care and professionalism.
The sale was a great success, and I wasn’t the only one who noticed. Neighbors who stopped by commented on how impressive the set-up was and how "classy" everything looked, a true testament to the team's dedication and skill. Throughout it all, Sharifah never slowed down and always had a smile and a positive word to say, making a hard situation so much better.
This was one of the hardest things I have ever done, but somehow Sharifah helped me get through it with grace & ease. I wholeheartedly recommend Desert Lotus Estate Sales.
Forever a grateful fan! "

"After my mother passed, trying to tackle her belongings that were left… seemed hopeless and exhausting. Especially since my sister and I both have little ones with busy schedules and don’t live in the area. You gave my mother’s belongings and her art a second chance at being seen, loved, and cherished.
I was amazed at how well you had organized and nurtured each piece in a way that would give it a chance for someone to give it a second look.
Thank you for everything you did with our estate sale and how close you stayed in contact with my sister to give us peace of mind during an uncertain time.
So you came into our lives at just the right time and helped my mother’s belongings bloom once again too."

Desert Lotus did our downsizing estate sale, and they did an amazing job. Very friendly, professional and pleasant team. They work very hard putting the sale together with pricing and set up.
I highly recommend them to take care of your downsizing, moving or estate sale."

"Closing this chapter has been very difficult for me personally. But I will say, it's been a whole lot easier with you at the head. I appreciate you so much. Your attention to detail has been exceptional. And I especially appreciate you never making me feel like you needed me to handle a problem. You have been completely hands on and in a time like this, that has been absolutely priceless.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."
