Hello and thank you for stopping by. My name is Judy Dickson and I own and operate ToTheAtticandBack Estate Sales. I began doing Estate sales approximately 10 years ago working for my cousin and her husband at their sales and auctions in the E. Texas area. Then about 18 months ago I decided to form my own company in the Shreveport/Bossier area since this is my home, and I now have a growing list of satisfied customers. However, I do not limit myself to just the Shreveport/Bossier area. ToTheAtticandBack will travel anywhere it is feasible to do so.
ToTheAtticandBack’s staff is committed to honest and ethical business practices. We know that, regardless of the reason why, the need for an Estate sale can be a very emotional and trying time for a family, and we strive to make the sale as stress-free as possible for our clients. I have two hard-working, honest, caring women who work every sale with me and three others at my disposal should they be needed. I try to get the sale set up and held as quickly as possible and will bring in the amount of people necessary to do so.
A sale is generally a two-day event held on Friday and Saturday. All prices are held firm for the 1st day, and are discounted on the 2nd day, usually 25% in the morning and 50% in the afternoon. General household items and appliances are priced according to current market trends, age, and condition. Antiques, glassware, pottery, collectibles, etc, are researched and appraised, if need be, before they are priced.
The commission charged by ToTheAtticandBack can vary; the more money I believe I can make for my clients the less the commission charged. Clients do not have any out-of-pocket expenses; I pay for all labor, advertising, and miscellaneous items. My sales are strictly “cash only”, and because I do not have to wait for checks to clear I am able to pay clients within 24 to 48 hours of the end of the sale.
When considering a sale please do NOT throw anything away. Almost everything in your home can generate profit for you. Let us make the decision on whether or not something has value. Remember “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”
