🧭 Our Proven 6-Step Estate Sale Process

1. Free Consultation

We start with a conversation about your needs, timeline, and goals. Every estate is different, and our free consultation ensures we build a plan that fits your unique situation.

2. Estate Content Evaluation

Next, we visit your property for a walkthrough and quick evaluation. We assess the home’s contents to confirm the potential for a successful sale and note high-value pieces.

3. Customized Estate Sale Agreement

We create a fair, transparent agreement that outlines all terms clearly — giving you total peace of mind before the process begins.

4. Preparation & Organization

Our team organizes, stages, prices, photographs, and advertises everything. We handle all setup, marketing, and management so you can focus on what matters most.

5. 3-Day Estate Sale Event

We host a busy, well-attended 3-day sale event. Our marketing network brings in serious buyers from across the region. Items are professionally displayed, priced accurately, and sold efficiently.

6. Post-Sale Support

After the sale ends, we assist with final cleanup, donation, or buyout of remaining items. We leave the home broom-clean and ready for its next chapter.


🏡 Additional Services

🔒 Private Estate Liquidation

Prefer not to hold a public sale? We offer private estate liquidations — we’ll purchase your estate’s contents outright and handle removal ourselves. It’s the fastest and most discreet way to liquidate.
