The first step is to have us come out and do a walkthrough with you. You can schedule that consultation here. 

At our meeting, we will walk through the house with you and come up with the best plan for your estate sale. At that point, we will also talk about dates and your timeline and show you our entire process from start to finish.

We would like you to call as soon as you believe you might need our services. We often have sales lined up for several weeks in advance but by calling as soon as you are aware of your needs, we may be able to fit you in at the last-minute. 

We require one thing before our team can come into your home and start the estate sale process and that is that everything that is not for sale has been removed or placed behind a locked door. The only thing you have to do to prepare for having an estate sale is just removing anything that you want to keep!

While that is charitable, these items are completely sellable at an estate sale and bring in additional profits to benefit the sale. Please refrain from discarding or donating any items within the home as these donations can be made after the estate sale.

If you feel that you must discard or donate any items please contact us to receive a professional opinion to make sure the item is not of high value. We would be happy to help!

Unfortunately, we are unable to work in a home that someone is living in. If this is a challenge for you, we can brainstorm with you during our initial consultation. 

We use a combination of industry knowledge, market research, and expertise to determine fair market prices for each item. Our goal is to maximize the return for our clients while ensuring items sell during the estate sale.

We maximize exposure and attract motivated buyers through a multi-faceted marketing strategy. We advertise on popular estate sale websites, such as estatesales.net and estatesale.org, as well as on social media and our email list of ready buyers. Additionally, we also use signage on the day of the sale to attract more buyers to the sale.

Theft can be prevalent among estate sales as people think there is no surveillance within a home. We have solved this issue in a few different ways: 

Limiting the number of customers allowed in the home at one time

Wireless security camera system that we bring to each sale

Glass cases for expensive jewelry and small items

Strategic placement of costly items near the register for constant monitoring 

We do not allow our clients to be in the home during hours of set -up or the sale. Witnessing personal belongings being sold can be emotionally challenging for clients. With us as your Estate sale professionals, we are trained to manage every aspect of the sale, from pricing items to handling negotiations, our expertise can lead to better outcomes, maximizing the return for the client. Clients attending may interfere with the established process, and we want the best possible outcome for you!

We keep you updated throughout the entire process through emails, phone calls, and video/photo updates. Our goal is to ensure you're informed about every step, from planning and pricing to the actual sale.

Every situation is different. The short answer is yes, we offer discounts on the second day of a sale (upwards of 20-30%) and may increase the discount on the following days (upwards of 50%).  

Our pricing begins slightly below retail value and as we discount, the prices become more enticing to secondary market customers. Any discounting after the initial price drop is done to ensure liquidation of the contents of the home while keeping fixed prices on items of high value.
