Quick Tips for a Successful Auction

Quick Tips for a Successful Auction

  • Do not tackle it on your own.  We get paid to do this and can cut the emotional stress while earning a better return.
  • If you do your own sale, you will be left with lots of items that did not sell and we may not be able to help due to better items being gone. The more variety, the better the sale!
  • Do not throw away items of value.  Call us if in doubt!
  • Do not cash in Coins, Fire Arms, Jewelry, or Vehicles to dealers.  We typically achieve FAR higher results even after commission costs.  Higher end items also bring more attention to your estate sale and help sell everything else.
  • Plan on providing us with a key for access.
  • Make sure all family members have had a chance to pick something out from the estate before we start.

    There is no charge for the initial consultation/evaluation of your property.

  • How much does it cost?

    Our fee is competitive and is a percentage of the total sale. There are no upfront fees and our rates are up to HALF of other Estate Sale companies!

  • What are the goals of an Estate Sale?

    To liquidate the Estate completely, leaving the home empty and ready for sale and achieve the highest possible financial return.

  • How do you price items?

    Items are priced according to the current market value. Specialty items are carefully examined and extensive research is done to choose a starting bid.

  • How is my property left after the sale?

    The house is left empty, broom clean, and ready for viewing.

  • Do you offer other services?

    Other services can be discussed at the time of the initial consultation and evaluation of property. We can be flexible to your needs and the needs of the estate. We can also provide referrals for services we don’t provide such as realtors, house cleaners, and more.

  • How and when do I receive my money from the sale?

    You will receive your money after the sale within one week.

  • Do real estate agents use your services?

    We have many realtors using our services and can provide referrals. We are also the only Estate Liquidator that belongs to the Realtors Association.

  • Do I need Probate Court?

    The answer is very likely yes. To access bank accounts, sell property and fulfill the wishes in the will as the individual representative. Informal probate is quite simple, but does take 60-90 days.

  • What should I throw or give away?

    Typically we prefer you call us first to consult. However, if it is trash with no recycle value, general clothing or opened or expired food, it should be tossed or donated to charity.

  • What should I keep?

    Items that you have a strong emotional tie to the loved one with. We simply cannot put a price on those items.  Anything you can use at home. But don't risk turning your house into a storage facility! Be sure to have other heirs and family members see what they may want to keep.

  • When should I call?

    As soon as you start the probate process so we can help evaluate the value and contents.  Depending on whether there are creditors the sale could occur 30-90 days out. The sooner the process begins, the sooner the house can be sold.
