We're Local and Ready to
Serve You and Your Family

Hi, I’m Bruce Treadway, owner of Caring Transitions of Northern Illinois. With a family history rich in antiques and collectibles, I began conducting estate sales in March 1995. In December 2006, I established the first Caring Transitions franchise in Northern Illinois. My team and I specialize in both public and private estate liquidation services, including online auctions, as well as the appraisal of personal property. As a Certified Appraiser and active member of the International Society of Appraisers (ISA), I stay up-to-date with trends in collectibles and antiques. My peers elected me to the role of Vice President on the Board of Directors of the ISA. Before opening the franchise, I served in corporate management for Fortune 100 manufacturers of medical devices, precision electronics, and other products. Prior to that, I taught numerous information technology and business management courses at the Minnesota School of Business and Globe College. I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University and have held various operations and project management roles throughout my career. My early formal education in the appraisal of Personal Property came from the College for Appraisers in Cypress, CA. Later, I took a variety of courses offered by the International Society of Appraisers and earned the “Certified Member” designation with ISA. I am also an active member of the Chambers of Commerce in Northbrook, Libertyville, Barrington and Crystal Lake. I’ve served on the board of Faith in Action of McHenry County, volunteered as a member of the McHenry County Senior Services Grant Commission, and served on the County Mental Health Board. Currently, I serve as a board member for Senior Services Associates. Having served in the US Navy and participated in Operation Desert Storm and Operation Sharp Edge, I became a Lifetime Member of VFW Post 5040 and AMVETS. I am committed to actively assisting military veterans transitioning to civilian life. I am the volunteer appraiser at the National Museum of the American Sailor at Great Lakes Naval Base.
