Straight answers about how a sale with us actually works. Still have a question? Reach out, we're happy to talk it through.
A garage sale is typically a small, DIY affair covering a handful of items. An estate sale is a full liquidation of a home's contents, run professionally, with every room priced and staged, advertised to serious buyers, and staffed for the entire event. It's a much bigger undertaking, which is why most people bring in a company to run it rather than doing it themselves.
More often than people expect. A full household, furniture, kitchenware, décor, tools, clothing, is usually plenty. If you're not sure, the easiest way to find out is a free walkthrough, we'll tell you honestly whether a full sale makes sense or if a simpler option would serve you better.
Most estate sale companies work on commission, a percentage of what the sale brings in, rather than an upfront fee. Rates vary by company and by the size of the estate. We'll give you a clear number during your free consultation, no surprises after the fact.
It's a fair question to ask any company you're considering, since strangers will be in and out of the home. Ask directly before booking, a reputable company should be able to answer plainly.
Our staff monitors the floor throughout the sale, keeping an eye on higher-value items and managing the flow of buyers through the home, the same way a well-run retail environment would.

Most sales can be scheduled within one to two weeks of the initial walkthrough. If you're on a tighter timeline, let us know, we'll do what we can to accommodate it.
No. Our team handles the pricing, staging, and the sale itself from start to finish. Most clients aren't on-site for the actual sale weekend.
We work on commission, a percentage of what the sale brings in, with no upfront fees. The exact rate depends on the size and scope of the estate, and we'll walk you through it clearly during your free consultation before anything is agreed to.
Once the sale closes, we provide a full itemized accounting of what sold and for how much, and settle up with you shortly after.
Yes, we accept both cash and card payments on-site during the sale.
We walk the home, assess what's there, and price everything to sell, taking into account condition, demand, and what similar items have gone for locally.
Every sale is listed on Facebook Marketplace, local estate sale groups, and EstateSales.net, so it's in front of buyers who are already looking.
Leftover items can be picked up and donated on your behalf, with an itemized list for your records, so you're not stuck figuring out what to do with what's left.
We assess and price everything based on condition, demand, and local comparable sales. If an item's value is significant enough that it needs outside expertise, we'll flag it and talk through the best way to handle it with you directly.
Yes, buyers are welcome to make offers, and our on-site staff can accept reasonable offers in the moment. Prices are also typically adjusted down as the sale progresses, so later in the weekend tends to mean better deals for buyers.

Most of our clients are downsizing, settling a loved one's estate, or dividing a household ahead of a move or a divorce. Every situation is different, and we handle each one with the same care.
