Our Pre-Sale Party is held on the Friday night before the Montecito Estate Sale (on Saturday).

Many of our donated items are highly sought after and have significant value. Tickets to the Pre-Sale Party give sponsors and attendees an exclusive first-look and ability to purchase merchandise before the general public has access. Passed hors d'œuvres and bar are included with the Pre-Sale Party tickets.

Donations can be dropped off at Casa del Herrero at 1387 East Valley Road every Friday between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. For large items or large quantities, please call our office at 805-565-5653 to schedule an appropriate drop-off as our space is limited week to week. Donations are accepted through September 20, 2024.

We are accepting donations of fine furniture and linens, housewares, home decor, art, jewelery, quality antiques and collectibles, garden decor, precious metals, and other elegant goods.

Quality, condition, and care are of the utmost importance with accepted donations. Unfortunately, we cannot accept mattresses or box springs, used bedsheets or linens, some clothing (case-by-case), bathing towels, dirty or damaged goods, chemicals, perishable items, personal care items, used electronics, and other worn or damaged items.

Our staff and volunteers reserve the right to refuse items for violating the above standards. Refused items must be taken back to avoid Casa del Herrero from incurring disposal costs.

Montecito Estate Sale donations are final. If you do unintentionally donate an item, please contact us within three (3) business days of your donation and we will make every attempt to locate your item.

Please note we cannot guarantee that we will be able to locate an item once it has been donated and we ask you to carefully check and consider all your items before donating.

All items are to be paid for and collected on the day of the event due to venue time restrictions and staffing shortages. We do not have the capacity to hold or deliver items, however, we will have staff available to help you load items into our vehicle.
