Frequently Asked Questions
We ask you to focus on removing personal items, financial documents, family photos and things you’d like to keep, and then leave the rest for us to handle. If any personal items are left, such as family photos or financial documents, our team will collect these items and box them up for you before the sale. We ask you not to pack or organize items that are to be sold – our staff will stage the sale, and empty all cabinets and drawers. It is also best not to donate items before the sale, we will help with donations after the sale has concluded since most items will sell.
We will attempt to sell every item in your house, from fine art to bath towels. Clients lose a lot of potential earnings by giving away or disposing of lower ticket goods before a sale – you will be surprised at how much revenue all of these lesser items will bring. We will price every item in your home and then donate or further consign any unsold items at the conclusion of the sale.
We understand that estate sales often need to be completed within tight timeframes due to house closings, last-minute moves, or other urgent situations. Our team is highly flexible and works efficiently to accommodate your scheduling needs, ensuring a smooth and timely process. However, it is often proactive to begin your search to hire a company 2 months ahead if possible!
Our most powerful marketing tool is our email and social media subscriber list which combines over 10,000 names – these are all self-subscribers, which means you have thousands of interested parties reviewing your sale. Each estate sale will have a dedicated email and social media campaign. Additionally, every sale is listed on EstateSales.net and EstateSales.org with description of sale and color photos. Physical signage is posted directing drivers to the sales.

You will be paid within 5 business days after the conclusion of your sale.
