Matthew Ellison brings more than a decade of experience in the secondhand industry, having spent 11 years as the Director of Marketing for the nationally recognized website EstateSales.NET. During his time there, he supported over 15,000 estate sale companies, creating content, tools, and strategies that helped them grow their businesses.

Matthew’s expertise in estate sales has been featured in Antiques and Arts Weekly, Architectural Digest, and Covetour, among others, and he has spoken at the National Estate Sale Conference, sharing insights into marketing, operations, and industry trends.

In 2023, Matthew stepped away from EstateSales.NET to launch a new venture rooted in his passion for secondhand goods and helping families during times of transition. That vision became The Thrifty Co., a company that provides estate liquidation services to clients across Southeast Missouri with professionalism, transparency, and care.
