Retro Luxe Estate Sales — Our Story

​Retro Luxe Estate Sales was founded by longtime collaborators Joanna Banke and Christina Coffey, blending decades of experience in event production, curation, and vintage sourcing into a refined, client-focused estate sales company serving Los Angeles and surrounding communities.

​

Joanna brings a background in large-scale event production and logistics, having produced milestone events, cultural gatherings, and community programs across Southern California. Her work is rooted in structure, discretion, and thoughtful execution—skills that translate seamlessly into managing complex estate transitions with clarity and care.

​

Christina is a lifelong vintage dealer and curator, known for her discerning eye and deep knowledge of collectible, design-forward, and historically significant pieces. As a former brick-and-mortar vintage shop owner and the force behind large curated vintage sales and collector communities, she brings editorial sensibility and market insight to every estate.

​

Together, we created Retro Luxe to offer a different kind of estate sale experience—one that is organized, respectful, and beautifully presented. We specialize in curated estate sales, downsizing support, and selective liquidation, with a focus on quality over quantity and an understanding of both the emotional and logistical sides of transition.

​

We work closely with homeowners, families, realtors, probate professionals, and trust officers who value professionalism, transparency, and results. From initial consultation through final coordination, our approach is calm, efficient, and detail-driven—so clients can move forward with confidence.
