Common Questions
What is an estate sale?
An estate sale is a method of selling personal property from a home, typically with items priced for direct purchase and quick sales. It's one option among many for liquidating belongings.
How is that different from an estate auction?
An auction sells items to the highest bidder through competitive bidding. Auctions often reach a broader audience and can maximize returns on higher-value items. Estate sales offer immediate purchase at set prices.
Why wouldn't I just hold an estate sale?
Estate sales can leave items unsold, require significant hands-on work, and may not be the best fit for certain types of property or situations. A comprehensive settling plan considers all assets, market conditions, and your specific timeline to clear the property efficiently.
Do you handle cleanout too?
Yes. We manage the entire process including disposal of unsellable items, coordination with donation centers, and full property cleanout as part of settling your estate.
Do I need to have everything figured out before I call?
Absolutely not. That's what the consultation is for. We'll help you understand your options and create a plan that makes sense for your situation.
