Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need to Rent Tables, Display Cabinets, or Clothing Racks?
Not at all! We provide everything needed for a professional setup, including tables, racks, and display cases. Our goal is to present your estate in an appealing way that attracts buyers and enhances sales. This comprehensive approach ensures a smooth and inviting shopping experience for all attendees.
Expert Staging Services
We transform your home into a polished retail space before the sale. Our team excels at staging and pricing, tailoring the setup to suit homes of any size, style, or location—whether urban or rural. Items are priced at fair market value, determined through research on past sales, current market trends, and each item’s unique attributes such as condition, age, and provenance.
What If the Executor Lives Out of State?
No problem! We’re equipped to manage everything remotely via phone, email, fax, or mail. Whether you’re working with a local realtor or attorney, our team will coordinate the process seamlessly and keep you informed. Post-sale, we can also provide a detailed inventory report if needed.
What Additional Services Do You Provide?
In addition to organizing and conducting estate sales, we can connect you with trusted services to handle leftover items or clear out the property.
Should We Remove Items from the Home in Advance?
It’s best to leave everything in place—many items that seem unusable can hold unexpected value. However, personal documents such as birth certificates, bank statements, passports, and family photos should be removed before we begin.
Is the Initial Consultation Free?
Yes, the consultation is completely free of charge and comes with no obligation to move forward. This is your opportunity to ask questions and see if our services are the right fit for you.
What Happens During the Initial Consultation?
The estate sale home consultation is free and gives us a chance to meet, discuss your needs and evaluate the estate’s contents. During this visit, we’ll review our services, assess the items for sale, and offer guidance on what to keep or sell. Ultimately, you’ll decide what stays or goes, and our team will be with you every step of the way.
However, check our client reviews and you will see that we can sell just about everything!
How Should We Handle Items We Want to Keep?
Before the consultation, remove any items you or your family want to retain. This allows us to conduct a thorough assessment of what’s available for the sale.
Should We Sell or Pawn Anything Beforehand?
It’s not recommended. Pawn shops and similar businesses often undervalue items, offering only a small percentage of their worth. You’ll likely get a better return by selling through an estate sale.
What If We Want to Keep Certain Items in the Home?
No problem! We can work around this by securely sectioning off any items or areas of the home you wish to exclude from the sale.
How Do We Begin Planning Our Estate Sale?
