THE ESTATE SALE PROCESS

Our first meeting will be a quick walk-thru of your home to determine if an Estate sale is a viable option. We take into account the estate contents & their condition, marketability, as well as several logistical issues. We will review our policies, business standards, and answer any questions you may have. We will review our contract with you line by line and discuss our availability.

After we receive a signed contract, and a key to the home, our team will get to work sorting, organizing, cleaning, staging and pricing. This tasks is easiest when the home is vacant, This is important...we have a reputation for hosting exceptional sales in a clean, organized, easily navigated shop-like setting. This step also allows us to ask prices higher than some of our competitors. A dusty vase in the corner behind a stack of books might bring $5.00 but a sparkling vase on a polished table in front of a window will bring much more.

During this time, our staff will also be researching some of the estate contents. We refer to local experts, and online research as well as inquiries (when necessary) to larger auction houses, museums or galleries. Our goal is to be well informed on all facets of your sale so we can command prices in keeping with your estates value.

The length of time we spend in “pre-sale prep” varies from sale to sale but it generally takes us one week to get a home ready for the estate sale.

 

The week before your sale we will also be focusing on marketing & advertising. We have an email list of over 2200 clients who attend our sales regularly. We will post photographs and sale details on our website, craigslist, facebook and several Estate sale listing websites.  Ads will also be placed in the local newspaper.

The morning of your sale, signs will be placed for maximum visibility. We will be well staffed and generally have one employee for every two rooms to answer questions and minimize the chance of shoplifters.

At the end of the sale, you have two options. We can remove all unsold items and leave the home “broom clean” OR leave those items for you to tend to. Our supplies & signs will be removed and the home will be left tidy & organized.

Can't wait to see you at our sale. Setup was 314.

 

You will receive your funds in 7-10 business days after the sale. We accept credit & debit cards as well as local checks. As soon as those post to our account, we will contact you to arrange payment & return of the estate keys.

We take pride in providing exceptional service at what can be a difficult time. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or if we can be of assistance.

Our Testimonials

After my father passed away I knew we would eventually need to hold an estate sale. Anyone who has lost a beloved family member can tell you it is very difficult to part with their possessions, even if you have no use for them. And my pack rat of a father, God bless him, left an overwhelming job of sorting thru. And like most people, I was unfamiliar with the estate sale process & especially with whom to use among the many options. Fortunately, I accepted a recommendation to hire Dan & Tom --"the hardest working & most honest people I know...and the nicest too." And discovered they are all that ...and more.

I always refer to Dan & Tom as Heaven Sent because, in spite of dealing with bossy little me, they did a perfectly beautiful job in handling this massive project. They work fast and efficiently. They know their pricing and merchandise even down to Tom accurately guessing what would sell first. The before & after transformation from cleaning merchandise and rooms was truly miraculous. I have since attended estate sales with items literally thrown as is all over the house & I liked the way they grouped similar items and took pride in first cleaning each item they sold. And we had 1000s of items. But most important to me was the respect and sensitivity they showed during the difficult parting process. Not only to me, but to my father's possessions.

They asked me to trust them & I'm glad I did because they are truly experts in what they do. And they made me come to appreciate that people can continue to enjoy and use items he owned.

So thanks to Dan & Tom I have survived the loss of my sweet Daddy's stuff. And have gained 2 lifelong friends (as well as the honor of current ranking Queen of Dan & Tom Estate Sales!)

Estate sales often involve a major life change. Dan & Tom will be the easiest & best choice you make during this stressful milestone.

Dear Dan,

We cannot thank you enough for the amazing job you did with my parents Estate Sale. We were so overwhelmed and feel truly blessed to have found you.

The transformation left us all speechless. Their home was, admittedly, in disarray. The night before the sale we could not believe how wonderful everything looked. Organized, arranged, staged...I still cannot believe the difference! I have no doubt that the proceeds from the sale were a direct result of your attention to detail, hard work & long hours. We expected about half of what the sale yielded, a most pleasant surprise while settling their Estate.

We will continue to recommend you to any & everyone we know who could benefit from your services, you folks were true lifesavers. We could not have made it thru this difficult time with out you.

Our deepest thanks to you, Tom & your amazing staff,

RE: Estate Liquidators

As a recent client of the above I must say I was VERY pleased with their handling of my estate goods. Their job was made difficult because I lived in a gated community where estate sales were not allowed on the premises. Their company had to pack & move everything to a different location which they did smoothly, efficently & effortlessly. I would highly reccommend them to anyone in need of their type of service!

Sincerely,

James Blodgett
