What to ask an estate sale company before you get started
Get Informed
If you've never worked with an estate sale company before, you likely have questions about how the whole process works. Since estate sales often occur during overwhelming and emotional times, knowing the right questions to ask estate sale companies can help make the process feel more manageable.
A full-service estate sale company like ours offers a range of support, including estate appraisals, pricing and staging items, managing auctions, marketing to buyers, and coordinating cleanouts after the sale.
Estate sale companies base pricing on current market conditions, demand, condition, and resale trends rather than random guesswork. We research buyer behavior and comparable sales to ensure fair and competitive pricing.
Most estate sale companies, including ours, are compensated on a commission basis. We charge no upfront fees and only take a percentage of the sale proceeds after the sale is completed.
The size and complexity of an estate determine the timeline for an estate sale. From the initial consultation to the final cleanout, most estate sales take a few weeks. We discuss expectations early on so you know what to expect.
Any items that remain unsold can be donated or disposed of during a cleanout. Many people combine estate sale services with professional cleanouts for a start-to-finish solution.
Look for transparency, experience, and communication in any estate sale company you work with. Local market knowledge matters, as well as a willingness to openly answer questions and build trust through respect and responsiveness.
