Real Portage Park Estates, Real Results
Portage Park is bungalow country — brick homes built for families who stayed for fifty or sixty years. We know what those homes hold because we've emptied them. In 2017 we handled a packed Northwest Side bungalow estate here that included 22K gold jewelry and Baltic amber; in 2019 we bought a remarkable vintage time-warp estate nearby. See more on our Chicago estate track record.
Ivan and Diane Bilic bring nearly 40 years of combined expertise to every visit. We buy fine jewelry, costume jewelry, gold and silver, and coins — and we explain each offer before you decide a thing.
The Bungalow Belt Holds More Than People Expect
Decades in one home means jewelry boxes, sterling drawers, and coin jars that accumulated quietly. Before anything gets donated or tossed, let us sort it — the valuable pieces in a Portage Park estate are rarely the obvious ones.
Packed Homes Welcome
A crowded bungalow doesn't slow us down. We work through collections systematically, in one visit, no matter how much there is.
Amber & 22K Gold Expertise
Northwest Side estates often include Baltic amber and high-karat gold from family homelands — categories many buyers undervalue. We don't.
Cleanout After the Sale
Once the valuables are settled, our property cleanout team can clear the rest of the home for listing — one call handles both.

Portage Park Jewelry Questions
Yes — packed homes are our specialty. In 2017 we handled a Portage Park bungalow estate exactly like that, full of 22K gold jewelry, amber, and a houseful of vintage contents. We work room by room, explain what's valuable and why, and make one clear offer for what you want to sell.
We come to you, anywhere in Portage Park — near Six Corners, by the park itself, or anywhere in the bungalow belt. Decatique works strictly by appointment, so there's no storefront to visit and nothing to pack up or ship.
Yes. Amber and high-karat gold are common in Northwest Side estate collections, and we buy them along with coins, sterling, and watches. Each category is tested, weighed, and priced separately so you can see exactly where the value sits.
We price pieces individually — maker, era, condition, and collector demand — not just melt weight. A signed brooch or an unusual coin is worth more than its metal, and our offer reflects that. We've been buying since 2010 with a 99.7% positive eBay rating across 11,000+ items sold.
After we purchase the jewelry, coins, and collectibles, our property cleanout service can clear the rest of the home respectfully and efficiently — a common next step for Portage Park families preparing a longtime bungalow for market.
