Frequently Asked Questions
What is an estate sale?
An estate sale is a professionally managed sale of the personal property within a home. These sales are often held due to downsizing, moving, divorce, or after the passing of a loved one. Items are priced, displayed, and sold directly from the home to the public.
How does the process work?
We begin with a free consultation to assess your needs. Once you select a service package, we handle everything — from organizing and pricing items to advertising and hosting the sale. If you choose a clean-out package, we also remove remaining items after the sale.
What areas do you serve?
We currently serve [insert your service area here, e.g., Kankakee County and surrounding areas in Illinois]. If you’re outside this area, feel free to contact us — we may still be able to help.
What types of items do you sell?
We sell a wide range of items including furniture, tools, home décor, electronics, antiques, collectibles, jewelry, clothing, outdoor gear, and more. For consignment, we accept select quality items with resale value.
How are items priced?
Our team researches current market values and uses professional experience to price items fairly for maximum return. We also offer discounts as the sale progresses to help clear inventory.
What happens to items that don’t sell?
For estate sale only packages, unsold items remain your responsibility. For our clean-out package, we remove unsold items through donation, disposal, or recycling — leaving the space broom-swept and ready for its next use.
Do you offer consignment?
Yes, we’re launching a Consignment-Only Program soon. It will allow clients to sell select items through our network on a 50% commission over a 3-month period with price drops and portal access.
How do you advertise estate sales?
We advertise across multiple channels including estate sale websites, local classifieds, social media, and our growing customer list to maximize visibility and foot traffic.
Is there an upfront cost?
No upfront fees. We work on a commission basis depending on the package you choose. Our payment is deducted from the proceeds of the sale.
How do I get started?
Just contact us for a free consultation. We’ll walk you through the process, assess the estate, and recommend the best package to fit your needs.
