OUR PROCESS
Our team can handle every aspect of your estate sale from start to finish.
1
Free Consultation
This first meeting consists of a detailed walk through of the home. Once we have seen all the items you want to sell, we will discuss our process step by step. We work on a competitive flat rate commission of the gross sales. This commission is based on the contents of the sale, and the time and labor to prepare and execute your estate sale. We service all of New Jersey and will travel for special arrangements.
We tell all of our clients not to discard and or donate anything if you are considering having a sale! You may be giving away the things that could attract customers! We sell cars, fine and costume jewelry, clothing and accessories, kitchenware, furniture, appliances, linens, lamps and lighting, tools, coins and stamps, antiques, fine & decorative art, outdoor and Patio items, and all sorts of basement and garage items too! We have even sold a few boats!
