Green Planet Estate Sales was founded on a simple belief: that the end of one chapter should be the beginning of something good — for our clients, for their belongings, and for the community.
We’re a women-owned, boutique estate sale company serving New York City, New Jersey, and the Hudson Valley. We keep our team small on purpose. When you work with us, you get personal attention, honest communication, and people who genuinely care about doing right by you.
Meet the Team
Reina Machuca — Founder & Lead Specialist
Reina brings years of hands-on estate experience, having trained under Karen Olson of the renowned Blueberry Hill Galleries in the Hudson Valley. She has managed estates of every shape and size — from collections of delicate smalls like china and ceramics to grand pieces of furniture, and from intimate single-room clearances to sprawling multi-room estates.
What sets Reina apart is her eye. She specializes in high-quality photography that makes every item look its absolute best, which translates directly into stronger buyer interest and higher sale prices. She approaches every estate with care, professionalism, and a deep respect for the lives reflected in what she’s been entrusted to sell.
Ellen Watkins — Associate
Ellen brings additional support and a shared commitment to the Green Planet ethos — that every sale should be handled thoughtfully, efficiently, and with the environment in mind.
Our Green Commitment
We believe in responsible transitions. We seek to find a home for every item in your estate, and we work with local organizations ensure unsold items are donated rather than discarded. It’s better for the planet, better for the community, and (we think) better for the soul.
