Frequently Asked Questions
Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions about selling properties, handling rare and antique items, and how our full-service process works. If you don’t see your question here, feel free to contact us directly
Do I have to sell my entire property or can you buy individual items?
You can choose either. We handle full property sales or assist with selling individual antiques and rare finds. Our goal is to provide flexible solutions that fit your needs.
How do you determine the value of antiques or rare items?
Our team evaluates items based on age, rarity, condition, provenance, and market demand. We use a combination of research, industry knowledge, and appraisal resources to provide a fair and accurate assessment.
Is there a cost for your services?
We offer a complimentary consultation to discuss your property and items. There are no upfront fees for our evaluation or guidance. If you choose to work with us, we will outline our commissions or fees based on your particular needs.
What type of estate sales do you look for?
Houses stuffed full are great! We love Mid-Century furniture, glass, and art. Cool modern design is popular too. Quirky can be fun and profitable. Quality household items in good condition are always welcome. Tools and garage goodies can go too. Designer clothes, handbags, jewelry, and sterling silver also tend to sell well.
How long does the process take?
The timeline varies depending on the property size and the number of items involved. Most sales, from consultation to property clearance, take 1–4 weeks. We provide a clear schedule upfront and manage everything efficiently.
What happens to items that don’t sell?
Items that aren’t sold can be returned, donated, or recycled according to your preference. We handle all logistics to make the process smooth and stress-free.
Can you stage my home using my own items?
Yes! We combine your existing pieces with carefully selected additions to create a visually appealing space that attracts buyers while highlighting the value of your property and its contents.

Do you decide the prices of items in your estate sales?
