WHAT ARE OUR FEE?
The initial consultation is free; we come at your convenience to your home to evaluate your situation. If you contract with us, all other follow-up visits will also be free.
We work on a commission bases and like an auction house; we only earn our share when we sell your things. There are no upfront costs and most routine "out of pocket" expenses incurred during the sale we will absorb. Our commission for an Estate Sale works on a sliding scale; starting as low as 29% and varies with the level of intensity the household requires.
We pay the cash proceeds of the sale, less our commission and fees within 15 business days of the last day of the sale. Often we can arrange issuing the cash sales earlier. Any sales made by credit card however, must post to our bank account and require 30 days before we can remit them. This is to protect against any possible chargebacks.
After our consultation, you may feel that consigning individual items to us is the best choice to maximize your return. If mutually agreed, you may wish us to submit those items for auction on your behalf. Any outside consignments we accept will be at 30% of the gross selling price.
We can also refer you to a real estate agent or contractor who we feel will best serve your individual needs. Their rates are competitive and fit the standards of those industries.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is an Estate Sale?
If you need to clear out a house so that you can sell or rent that property without its original content and if you need to sell that content and quickly convert it into cash, Estate sales are the way to go! They can provide the rapid liquidation of an entire household of possessions, from the finest antiques to the lowliest of junk and do so "in situ", so you need not move or store anything that you wish to sell!
The term "Estate Sale" generally refers to the one time sale of personal property that is normally held inside a home. An estate sale can be held after a death or a divorce or when someone is downsizing or moving to a nursing facility.
