Our Services Include:
* Estate Sales
* Moving Sales
* Complete Estate Liquidation Planning and Assistance
* Online Auction Services
Most commonly we provide Estate Sale services, and the following points
briefly cover our Estate Sale process:
* When you contact us or make an inquiry we will first make arrangements to meet with
you at the location where the sale is to be conducted at a time that is convenient so that
we can introduce ourselves in person and determine exactly what your needs are. At
that time we will present you with a list of references consisting of our past clients, and
we will encourage you to contact some or all of them so that you can gain some insight to
our credibility, integrity and honesty. A degree of trust is important here. If we all agree
that we should conduct an Estate Sale for you, we will then ask that you provide us with a
key to the premises where the sale is to be conducted so that we may enter at our
convenience as we go about the often tedious and time consuming task of properly
setting up your sale. We will also determine with you when the actual sale will be
conducted.
* Once the above step has been completed we will begin sorting everything that is to be
sold. We ask that you not throw away or otherwise dispose of anything in the dwelling.
Please allow us to determine what is or is not salable. Our experience has shown us that
what you think is trash may very well be something that someone else will be happy to
pay for. Allow us to sort everything out and make the determination as to what will sell
and what should be disposed of before the sale. Anything that really isn't of any value will
be removed so that it is out of our way.
* We will provide as many tables and display devices as needed to properly display
everything that is to be sold. We have found that appearance and display are very
important, and we make every effort to arrange things to provide a sale that is pleasing
and customer friendly. We will individually price every item or post a price list for multiple
items like clothes, shoes, etc. The prices are determined by us. We have an extensive
library of reference material in our home that we use to identify antique or unusual items,
and we go to great lengths to price things according to their value. Keep in mind,
however, that we are here to sell your items, not to prevent people from buying them
because of over pricing. Since we are payed only on a percentage basis, it is always in
our best interest to make as much money for you as we possibly can. Occasionally, we
may sell very rare or valuable items before the sale. The reason for that is because we
do not want these items damaged from being handled too much at the sale. We write a
receipt for everything we sell, and after the sale we will give those receipts to you so you
can review them if you wish. Any variances from our normal sale procedure will be
discussed with you prior to the sale.
* We will advertise your sale in local newspapers and obtain any local permits that are
often required. This will be at no cost to you, it is part of our service. Our web site is also
an advertising platform, and we have an extensive mailing list of regular customers that
we use notify of all upcoming sales. On the days of the sale we will also post signs at
strategic locations in the area to attract customers.
* Our sales normally run 1, 2 or 3 days, depending on the amount of merchandise to be
sold. On the appointed sale days we usually open promptly at 8:00 a.m. and close at
either 4:00 or 5:00 p.m. We provide however many workers/personnel are required for
each sale, and all of our sales are secure and safe.
* Prior to the sale we will discuss with you what should be done with any items that are
not sold at the sale. Our services also include at no charge the disposing of leftover
items, and we will deliver any useful items to whatever charity you desire. If you have no
preference, we normally donate to the Salvation Army, Tried & True Resale Shop,
Women's Shelters and other charities. Often our clients prefer that we leave everything
so that they can take care of it themselves.
* We charge a flat rate of 35 percent of the gross receipts of the sale, in most cases.
There are no up front costs to you and no hidden fees. Occasionally there are instances
where there is an unusually large amount of unsalable items to be disposed of either
before or after the sale, and in those cases we may need a dumpster (at your expense)
and perhaps an additional labor cost, but that is rarely the case. If those measures are
necessary, we inform you of that before the sale.
* On the day after the sale, or at another time that is convenient for you, we will meet with
you and give you the receipts from the sale, a printed statement indicating that we
conducted a sale for you, the amount of money the sale produced and the amount of our
35 percent commission that we retained for our services. We will also give you your 65
percent of the money from the sale in cash or in the form of a cashiers check, whichever
you prefer. Once the house is emptied and in a condition that pleases you, we will return
your key. The only additional request we have is that we be allowed to use you as a
reference for our future clients.
