Helpful Answers and Insider Tips for Buyers and Sellers at Our Estate Sales, from How to Find Hidden Treasures to How to Prepare Your Home for a Successful Sale

1What is an Estate Sale?
An estate sale is a professionally managed sale of the contents of a home. Unlike a garage sale, items are organized, researched, priced, and sold to the public over a set number of days. It is designed to sell a large volume of belongings efficiently while maximizing value.
2Who typically needs an estate sale?
Estate sales are most common for families managing an inherited home, individuals downsizing, or anyone facing a major life transition. If you are looking at a home full of belongings and aren’t sure where to start, this is usually the right solution.
3Do I need to clean or organize beforehand?
No! Leave that to us. The most common mistake people make is donating or tossing items before our team can evaluate them. Let us handle everything. Anything you would like not to be sold will be discussed and moved before the sale.
4What does it cost?
We work on a commission basis, meaning there are no upfront costs. Our fee is a percentage of the total sale proceeds and is discussed during the consultation.
5How long does the process take?
Most estate sales are completed within one to two weeks, from initial setup through the final day of the sale. Timing may vary depending on the size of the property, the amount of contents, and the overall scope of the project.
6What happens to items that don’t sell?
Unsold items can be handled in several ways. We can help coordinate donation or clean-out services through trusted partners if you would like the home cleared after the sale.
7How and when do I get paid?
After the sale, you will receive a summary of items sold along with your proceeds within a week. This will be reviewed with you so everything is clear and transparent.
8Do you handle clean-outs?
We do not perform full clean-outs directly, but we can coordinate that process for you. During our final meeting, we can provide a quote from our preferred clean-out vendor so you have a clear understanding of next steps and costs.
