Our Process

While every situation is unique, we can complete most estate sales in as little as two to three weeks. Larger estates or homes that need more preparation before the sale may require additional time. The main steps in our process are:

Complimentary Consultation

The first step after initial contact is a free consultation. This begins with a phone call to understand your needs, learn a bit about the estate, and set a time for a walk through of the home.

During the walk through we will listen to your concerns and requirements to help determine an approach that is most effective for your situation. If you decide to hire us, we will formalize the terms, establish a timeframe, and enter into a contract.

Sale Setup

We begin the process with light cleaning and organizing of the home to prepare it for a sale. Next, we complete the process of staging, photographing, and pricing items.

Finally, we market your sale through multiple channels to generate interest and draw customers that will maximize results.

Sale Days

Most sales that we host last from 2 to 3 days, though some especially large sales may require an additional day. Each sale is appropriately staffed to ensure a smooth, safe, and secure event.

For the duration of the sale signs will be posted at appropriate intersections and other key locations to drive customers to the sale. On the first day of the sale, customers arriving before it opens will receive a number that indicates their order of entry based on when they arrived.

Items will be full price on the first day of the sale. Discounts begin on the second day and increase on subsequent days.

Post Sale

At the conclusion of the sale our team will complete standard cleanup tasks and any optional services that you opted for us to perform.

Within 2 business days of your successful sale, we will provide a report with sales totals per day broken down by payment type. The report will also show the fees for any optional services you opted for during the consultation step. Finally, it will show our commission from the sale and the net amount due to the estate.

Payment in the form of a check will be made to the estate within 7 business days of the estate sale’s conclusion.
