An estate sale is normally a result of person being deceased and the family members or an executor of the estate deciding to liquidate the estate by means of auction. This method can be very beneficial to the parties involved as the auctioneer will perform the setup and preparation for the sale, conduct the sale and collect the money for the items purchased and then provide the parties a settlement for the auction.

Another type of estate auction that is very common is a living estate auction that could include parties that have decided to downsize their property as a result of moving to a smaller living space, moving out of state or traveling or moving into assisted living facilities.

While nobody can predict the actual price an item will sell for auction, it is common for items offered at estate sales to sell for a higher price when compared to other means of liquidation including yard sales, tag sales or offering the items to “pickers” or dealers who purchase the items with the intent to resell the items.

It is important for you to consider that if you decide to conduct an auction with our organization you will not be required to pay any upfront cost . All costs associated with the sale will be paid in advance by the auctioneer and specific costs including auctioneer’s fees will be deduced from the proceeds of the sale. If you have discussed having an auction with another auction provider, we encourage you to inquire how the services that we provide compare. We greatly look forward to working with you to evaluate your estate and how an auction may be of benefit to you.
