An Estate Sale sells everything that makes up a home: from all the items in the yard, the garage and the house to the cleaning products and the clothes. DO NOT THROW ANYTHING AWAY!!! We use the house as the venue for the sale. We organize the lots for photography and pack everything for pickup day.
Timing is important. Call us for a free consultation as soon as you think you may need our services. We book sales 4-6 weeks in advance. We prefer two weeks’ notice, but we we’ve done sales with only five to seven days’ lead time (as long as that weekend hasn't been booked).
We work off a commission structure to ensure you get the best bids on your auction. After the sale is complete and any additional services (junk removal, cleaning etc.) are paid, then the rest of the money comes directly to you.
The contents of the home are organized, put into individual lots and photographed. This generates an online auction where buyers bid from home and pickup their winnings after the auction is closed. The process lasts 4 days.

Each condominium has different rules. We need to get permission from management or the condo corp. for some buildings.
They would need to be moved to the location of the sale. We have a local small job mover you can hire to do this. We use the home as the venue for the process of the sale.
We can find you buyers and make arrangements to sell these as well.
We can meet and work with a family member, friend, realtor etc. We can email the whole group with updates and also set up telephone conferences if required.
We will set up areas for you and your belongings where our auction setup will not interfere with your plans. It's easy to close off sections of the house to facilitate liquidation and packing at the same time.
We create a schedule between 3pm-5pm for pickups, and send it to individual winners of the auction. This way, less cars will be on the property or street at one time.
We can work with your realtor to come up with an appropriate plan. We have run sales where larger furniture pieces are not available for pickup until weeks after the actual sale.
Leftover items can be liquidated, sent to donation, picked up by junk removal or placed at the curbside. Each sale is unique and this will be part of the overall plan depending on what your goal is.
