Your property and interests are fully safeguarded with our professional services.

Should I have the estate sale before or after the house sells?Both options work perfectly fine for our team. Your real estate agent may have specific recommendations since it affects potential buyers' impressions - whether they see a furnished home that showcases the living spaces or an empty canvas where they can envision their own belongings.

What happens at the end of the estate sale and what will my house look like afterward?When we complete the estate sale process, your house should be 98% cleared out. For any remaining items, we offer several options: donation to charity with a tax receipt, consignment at our store for continued sales opportunities, bulk removal by our partners, or we can leave remaining items for you to handle.

For specialized collections or high-value items, our in-house expertise allows us to provide professional assessments without needing to outsource to external consultants.
-
How do you handle security during the sale?We prioritize safety and security by hiring former police officers and military veterans to monitor all entrances and exits during our sales. Our security team carefully manages the flow of shoppers and provides dedicated supervision for high-value items displayed in secure, locked cases. After purchases are made, we have a thorough receipt-checking process as customers exit to ensure everything is properly accounted for. This professional approach ensures a safe environment for both the property and our customers
