- When we are contacted for a sale, we make an
initial appointment with you to see what the project entails, and during
that time, we will explain what we will be doing, and what the sale fees
will be. Also, we will explain that all the items which are to be saved
by you and your family are to either secured in separate space in the
location, or removed from the location prior to the sale to prevent any
items being sold that were intended to be saved.
-
-
First of all, let us say that every
sale is different and unique. The pre-sale conditions vary as to the
level of work needed to prepare for the sale, the items are different,
and the market of the individual sale location requires specially
targeted advertising to make the sale successful.
-
Next there is the sorting, cleaning,
and research about the items for sale. As you will see in the photos to
follow, the initial sorting can be in a home that is reasonably
organized, or in complete dis-array. We have to decide what items are
most sellable in the time we have to conduct the sale, and which will be
best suited to sell in an internet based venue, or at the sale location
(generally a 3-4 day sale).
-
Once the sorting and preliminary
cleaning is done, we start the staging at the sale site. This involves
arranging our sale display tables, counters, etc. Also, we re-stage the
location to maximize the customer flow, and to allow the items to be
displayed in an attractive and well organized manner to allow for good
customer flow while displaying the items for maximum sales. We generally
have the owners tell us that they didn't realize how nice their items
were. One client mentioned that after the sale was staged, she felt like
"taking out her checkbook and buying several of the items"
-
We advertise in many venues. We place
ads in newspapers in the surrounding area and in other larger markets if
applicable. Online advertising is also very effective as we have a large
internet presence, and list with online Estate Sale companies. Lastly,
we make flyers for the sale and distribute them to our many contacts and
most importantly, it Signage, and we are very effective with this. We
always have many, many positive comments from our buyers about how great
our signs are, and how they brought them to our sale.
-
OK , Now it's sale time. We have a
good staff to help us with very effective results. We specialize in
pricing items correctly and engaging our customers for an effective
sale. We have sold sell items like cars, wildlife mounts, original
artworks, furniture, household items, china, jewelry, garage items, lawn
and garden items, and things you could not imagine selling. Basically,
we see our job as getting you reasonable market values for your items
while also cleaning out the location so you do not have to do this hard
labor intensive work yourself. After all, that's why you are hiring us.
To do the difficult and consuming work for you. After the sale, you have
the choice to have us leave the location in 'Floor Clean' condition
which is one of our services, or you can
choose to remove the remaining contents yourself. It's your choice.

Please make sure to take time to look at the following photos to
gain a better understanding of what we do for you and your family.
Here is a quote from one person about us,
"
This is such a wonderful thing you do for families like us during a
time of upheaval.
We simply do not have the extra time it takes to do this type of
sale."
