Hidden Treasures Estate Sale And Consignment

Estate Sales

Estate Sales are a great way to sell all the items in your house when a loved one passes, transitioning into an assisted living, or downsizing. 
This is a long and difficult process, so we want to make sure that this is as convenient for you as possible. We feel that transparency and customer service are key to a good estate sale, so we want you to be informed and happy at all times. 

Here is a breakdown of our Estate Sale. Again, we want to make sure you are aware of what is going on during this process.

Staging:

During the presale, we are organize and stage the home room by room to come up with a site plan. Our set up team implements the site plan, working in the basement to the farthest corner of the attic. This creates a store-like display. When a home is clean, organized, and staged, it results in a better sale totals for you. This also makes the sale more enjoyable to our customers. 
 

Pricing:

While the set up team arranges the home, our price team is hard at work assigning price to every item in the house. With pricing and sell such a high volume, we are familiar with current market values. For any item that we come across that may heed some extra attention, we conduct extensive research by using our helpful pricing resources. We also have relationships with a few auction houses around Texas to help expand an audience for the one-of-a-kind items

Register System-

One of the most frustrating aspects of shopping at an Estate Sale can be the long lines at checkout. The norm is one employee at a card table with a cash box that does not accept cards. 
In response, we created a quick and effective check out system that Accepts Credit & Debit Cards. We have multiple registers going, and we have a fabulous hold area that is located conveniently by the register not in the way of other customers.

Clean Out-

After the completion of the sale we handle the few remaining unsold items. The majority of the time the items are donated to local charities that the client picks. Other times the client might want to give a few items a second chance. We will take those items at no additional cost to our warehouse for our Monthly Market Sales. 

After all the items have been removed from the house, Hidden Treasures will remove and trash from the house. We will sweep, mop and vacuum all the floors and wipde down all the counters. 

We also offer a deep clean at an additional fee to make your house more Realtor Ready.

It'll be sunny (we hope)! Temp 214.

Payment-

At the end of the sale, we will provide a detailed summary of how much you received on each day along with a check from the proceeds (minus our fee).
