How We Work

So, how does this work?


After you know what you want to keep, we will meet with you in your home to determine if a sale is appropriate. If it is, we will discuss contract terms. If not, we will advise how best to dispose of your surplus. Every sale we do is customized to meet the client’s needs.
 

Most frequently we sell your unwanted items right from your home, after you have moved out. You need to do nothing about the things left behind, or worry about cleaning your home. We can do that, too. Basically, we handle everything because it can be an emotional journey and prevents you from having to sort and separate items from lost loved ones. We don't just sell your items, we listen too.

Time Frame

As we get started, we sort through to make sure items of value are discovered and priced appropriately. Our sales are attracting repeat buyers because we make sure that all merchandise is clean, attractively displayed and in working order whenever possible. This process takes anywhere from two weeks to maybe even six months depending on how large the estate is and how much work there is to do. 

​

Sales

Sales are usually held for two or three days, with prices reduced as the sale progresses. To help ensure the best prices for clients and customers, bid sheets are used on some higher-priced merchandise. Items remaining at the end of the sale are donated to a charitable organization.

​

Protection

During the sale every effort is made to protect the property, and at the end of the sale the property is left neat and clean.

​

​

Payment

As soon as possible after the close of the sale you will receive a check for the proceeds. Normally this is the amount taken in from sales less expenses like, advertising the sale, trash removal, etc.

 

Who would be working in my home?

We personally meet with potential clients to go over all details, and understand their wishes, before a contract is signed. "I am on the scene when we are preparing for the sale and doing the sale itself with carefully selected, responsible workers assisting." ~Carole
