How Our Estate Sale Process Works

We meet with potential clients to determine their needs and expectations throughout the estate sale process. We walk through the home, review the contents, discuss the client's goals, and determine the best approach for the estate.

• Understand your needs, situation, and timeline
• Walk through the property and review contents
• Decide whether an estate sale is appropriate

We evaluate the household contents, research items, organize merchandise, clean and stage items as appropriate, and establish fair and realistic sale prices using available market information and research.

• Organize, clean, and stage merchandise
• Research items and current market information
• Set fair, realistic sale prices
• Seek a specialist for unusual or potentially valuable items when needed

We are not certified appraisers. When an item requires expertise beyond our knowledge, we can seek assistance from an appropriate specialist rather than guessing at its value.

We advertise and promote the estate sale to the public. Promotion can include photographs, featured items, sale information, online advertising, social media, website updates, and other appropriate marketing methods.

• Photographs and featured items
• Online advertising and social media
• Website updates and sale information

We organize and manage the estate sale and sell the items in an orderly and professional manner. Our goal is to make the process as smooth and simple as possible for the client. We manage customers, merchandise, pricing, transactions, and the overall operation of the sale.

• Manage customer flow and merchandise
• Handle pricing and transactions
• Accept cash at the sale (digital payment options announced per sale)
• Collect applicable sales tax as required

After the estate sale, we work with the client regarding items that remain. Taking down our signs, removing our equipment, and collecting ordinary sale-generated trash are included at no additional charge. Additional cleanout and property services are available and are quoted separately.

• Review remaining merchandise with you
• Discuss next steps for unsold items
• Sign, equipment, and ordinary trash removal included
• Optional cleanout services quoted separately
• Unsold belongings remain your property
