Who uses an estate or contents sale? Anyone who is planning to downsize, relocate, liquidate an estate, or sell a small business.
Is an estate sale right for me? If we determine that an estate sale is not the right route for you to sell your things, we may either purchase your items at a fair price or assist you to send them to an auction.
What can you sell for me?
How long does it take to prepare for a sale? A representative will look over your house and give you an estimate. A week is generally sufficient.
What do I have to do to prepare for the sale? Simply remove the things that you will be taking with you. Our staff will do the rest. They will move items around, or add others to display everything to the best advantage.
What happens to items that do not sell? You can choose to donate to a charity or ask us to help you dispose of unsold goods.
