An Estate sale differs from a yard or garage sale in that an Estate Tag Sale is where every item is tagged with a price to sell. An Estate Auction the Auctioneer accepts bids on the items & the items sell for the highest bid. Both of these sales can normally be due to serious illness, death, divorce or moving as to a Retirement or Assisted Living Center.
Many people think that "all of the good stuff will be gone" by the time an Estate Sale is held. This is simply not true. While some family members may hold back the occasional family photos, personal papers or certain collections, the family usually doesn't need or want anything more in their lives or their homes. That leaves us in charge to redistributing many years of the inheritance, years of hoarding and collecting. What comes out of these homes astound most people. The fact is that some of the most expensive and sought after things come out of these auctions.
Many also think that you must have antiques to have an Estate Sale. There are ample sales where there are few if any collectibles that still do very well with their net worth. The fact is, if an item is needed for day to day living, it can be re-distributed and sold at a profit above donating, giving or throwing into a landfill. There is no reason to ignore items of worth simply because they are new and everyday items.
Should you choose us to liquidate your Estate, please, do us or whomever you choose a favor and "leave it" alone. Be sure not to clean, throw, sort, or rid the house of ANYTHING prior to calling us to empty the house. Too many times the idea of "cleaning" is an estate liquidator's idea of stripping and wrecking the chance of a virgin estate to the public. You would be amazed at how much items you would normally have just tossed into the garbage will bring. We are professionals and can likely decide and sort, clean and merchandise this area for you with no burden on the families part. We understand that most individuals are understandably apprehensive about having their homes (of the home of a loved one) open to the public. Our clients have our assurance that the items they desire to sell will be liquidated in an efficient, professional and worry-free manner.

Who pays for the advertising?
The client pays for all the advertising upfront. We will also put up signs leading to the sale so that people that missed any print advertising happen to be passing by they will know we are there.
