We understand that estate sales can raise a lot of questions, whether you’re a potential client or a shopper. Below are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about our services and how the process works.
-
What is an estate sale?An estate sale is a process of liquidating personal belongings, often in a home, over a short period of time. This can occur due to a move, downsizing, divorce, bankruptcy, or the passing of a loved one. Items are priced, displayed, and sold directly to the public.

How do I start the estate sale process?The process begins with a free consultation. We’ll visit the estate, evaluate the items, and outline a plan for preparing, pricing, and conducting the sale. We handle everything, from start to finish.
-
What types of items do you sell?We sell a wide variety of items, including furniture, home decor, antiques, collectibles, art, jewelry, kitchenware, tools, and more. Each sale is tailored to the contents of the estate.

How are the items priced?We conduct thorough research and appraisals to determine fair and competitive pricing. We consider the item’s condition, market demand, and historical value to ensure you get the most for your possessions.
-
How much do you charge for your services?We work on a commission basis, taking 30-40% of the total sales. There are no upfront costs, and our fees are deducted from the final sales total.
-
What happens to unsold items?We typically liquidate 80-90% of the estate’s contents. For remaining items, you have the option to donate them or use our cleanout partner for a small fee. We work closely with you to determine the best course of action.

How are the sales advertised?We use a combination of marketing strategies, including online listings, social media, email newsletters, and local advertisements. This ensures we reach the widest possible audience and attract the right buyers.

What happens after the sale?Once the sale is complete, we help with cleanouts or donations of any remaining items. We also ensure your home is left in good condition, ready for its next chapter.

Will the sale take place in the home?Yes, the majority of estate sales are held in the home where the items are located. This allows buyers to see the items in their natural environment and creates an immersive shopping experience.
