How do you price estate sale items?
Our team uses market research, online sale sites, and antique expertise, and your input to price items competitively. We research comparable sales, consider condition and rarity, and aim to maximize returns while ensuring items sell. We also respect any sentimental value you place on family heirlooms.
What happens to unsold items?
After the sale, we handle clearing out the home, overseeing the charity donations, or removal and disposal. You will have an opportunity to remove anything you would like to keep.
Do I need to be present during the sale?
No, you do not need to be present. Our professional team handles everything - from setup to home cleanout.
