Expert Estate Sale Services to Maximize Your Property’s Value

• Book a free walkthrough with no obligation.
• We look over the home and its contents and recommend the right type of sale.

During the walkthrough we ask about your timeline, which rooms and items are included, and whether there are building or neighborhood rules to plan around. In a Brooklyn brownstone, that may mean managing a line on the stoop. 

In a Manhattan building, it may mean limited sale hours and a shopper cap set by the board. On Long Island, it may mean parking and traffic on a quiet street. We build those details into the plan from the start.

Sometimes the walkthrough shows that a full estate sale is not the best choice. If the contents are light, a smaller tag sale or a buyout may serve you better, and we will tell you so.

• Pricing: each item is researched and tagged to draw buyers while protecting value.
• Promotion: we spread the word through online listings, local channels and social media.
• Display: rooms are arranged so shoppers can browse comfortably and find what they want.

Setup is where most of the work happens. Closets, cabinets and drawers are emptied and sorted. 

Similar items are grouped together, so kitchenware, linens, tools and books each have their own space. Fragile pieces go in cases or on high tables. Personal papers, photos and anything with sensitive information are set aside for the family, never put on sale.

Pieces with real value, such as jewelry, coins, signed art or important furniture, are checked one more time before they are priced. If an item would likely do better at auction, we pull it from the sale and talk with you first.

• Our staff manages shoppers, offers, checkout and traffic through the house.
• Every sale day is run in an orderly, courteous way.

We control how many people are inside at once, keep rooms that are not part of the sale closed off, and watch small, valuable items closely. Prices may be reduced on later sale days so more items sell, and we track every transaction so the totals are clear.

• When the event ends, we clear and tidy the property so it is ready to list, close or hand over.
• Anything that does not sell can be donated, bought by us, or consigned to an auction.

You then receive a summary of what sold and the proceeds. If the home is going on the market, we can coordinate with your real estate agent so the property is empty on time.
