Frequently Asked Questions

Send us your questions!

Q: What is an estate sale?

A: An estate sale is a sale of a home's contents, not the property itself.

Q: How do I know if I have enough items for an estate sale?

A: If you are selling most of your belongings, including large furniture, and it's too much of a challenge to sell other places, you are probably a candidate for an estate sale.

Q: Do I need to be home during the estate sale?

A: No, actually you don't want to be home. It's hard to see your possessions go.

Q: I have a strict HOA and parking enforcement. How can I have an estate sale?

A: We can do an appointment-only estate sale, which means we can restrict visitors every hour.

Q: I just inherited an estate and there are boxes and boxes of things. What do I do?

A: Let's talk! We will unearth the treasures, stage them, price them and sell them.

Q: How long does it take to prepare for an estate sale?

A: It really depends on how large the estate is. It can take anywhere from 3 weeks to 3 days, although the average is two weeks, including the sale itself.

Q: How long does an estate sale last?

A: An estate sale typically lasts 2 days to 4 days, depending on how much is being sold. 

Q: Can I sell valuables like jewelry, gems, purses and watches at an estate sale?

A: Yes, that is the place to sell them. However, some items may be a better fit for auction or a private sale.
