Frequently asked questions.
How much do your services cost?
We believe in keeping things as simple as possible. We charge a flat rate of 40% of the total gross from the estate sale. This covers basic set up, advertising, sales dates, and team. However, additional expenses may apply depending on the size of the estate as well as additional services requested by the client. Additional fees could apply for extended prep time, additional staffing, junk hauling, dumpster fees, hazardous waste removal, or admin time to consign or auction special items.
What about items that you want to keep?
As part of our free consultation process, we walk through the estate (and its contents) with the executer or family and identify any/all items that are not meant for the sale. These items should be removed by the executer or family before we come in to setup and stage the sale.
Can we attend the sale?
We help families during times of transition, and we recognize that it can be emotional or difficult. Because of this we insist that family and friends have moved out of the estate and are hands off once we enter the estate to prep for and run the sale.
Why don’t I conduct my own sale?
Setting up and running a successful sale takes quite a bit of time. Most people do not have the time available to go through an estate, prep for a sale, price each item, and run a sale with the general public. We handle all of this for our clients, saving them considerable time and trouble
