Clearing out an estate can be a demanding process, both physically and emotionally. Let us handle it for you. Our team will carefully sort and organize everything, taking care of selling, donating, recycling, or hauling items away. Whether the situation is planned or unexpected—such as the loss of a loved one or the need to relocate—our experienced professionals can assist as much - or as little - as you prefer. From sorting through years of memories to collaborating with estate planners, coordinating movers, and working with real estate agents, we’ll serve as your family’s advocate, ensuring your best interests are the only priority throughout the process.

Our average estate sales are done in 4 to 7 days - usually held from Thursday-Saturday or Friday-Sunday. Preparation time depends on the size of the estate and the substantial amount of items needing to be priced, organized, and cleaned. This could take 1-3 weeks prior to the sale. Extra sale days may be added depending on the size of your estate to maximize the time needed to sell all your items for the most money.

Yes, We have a large following for many high end pieces, many of our customers come specifically for these items!

The first step is to have us come out and do a walkthrough with you. At our meeting, we will walk through the house with you and come up with the best plan for your estate sale. At that point, we will also talk about dates and your timeline and show you our entire process from start to finish.

We would like you to call as soon as you believe you might need our services. We often have sales lined up for several weeks in advance but by calling as soon as you are aware of your needs, we may be able to fit you in at the last-minute.

Our estate sale process is usually 1-2 weeks from start to finish! There is the occasional project that can take weeks to get set up and organized and our team is set up to be able to handle simple to complex projects.

There is no up-front or out-of-pocket expense to you. We charge a percentage of total sales (35% – 50%), and simply deduct that from the proceeds at the end of the sale.

While that is charitable, these items are completely sellable at an estate sale and bring in additional profits to benefit the sale. Please refrain from discarding or donating any items within the home as these donations can be made after the estate sale. If you feel that you must discard or donate any items please contact us to receive a professional opinion to make sure the item is not of high value. We would be happy to help!

There is no upfront costs when having an estate sale.

Yes, we are fully insured and bonded.

Yes. We handle everything through email, faxing and registered mail so living outside of Texas during the process is no problem. This process is simple and we have been handling out-of-state residents for many years. If you’re working with a local realtor or with a lawyer, we can work through them as well.

First, we set up our display tables throughout the home and re-arrange furniture to maximize retail space. We then unearth any drawers, boxes and cabinets throughout the home and clean items as necessary. From there we separate sellable from non-sellable, research antique and high valued goods and finally, affix prices to all the displayed items. Throughout the process we often find personal effects such as social security cards, bank or tax documents and other sensitive material which we set aside to be gone through by the owner of the estate.

We require one thing before our team can come into your home and start the estate sale process and that is that everything that is not for sale has been removed or placed behind a locked door. The only thing you have to do to prepare for having an estate sale is just removing anything that you want to keep!

Our sales typically liquidate 85%-100% of the items in the home. However, upon signing our contract, you will have the option to either keep what was left over or have us donate it to a charity of your choice or one that we work with. We will then provide a donation receipt for your records.

All items included with the estate sale are always your items. After the sale, many of our clients take a look at what has not sold, or we send them photos so they can decide if there is anything that they would rather keep than donate/trash. The post-sale cleanout is also an optional service that can be canceled at any time before we start.

Homeownership is the largest investment for the average American. This is why maintaining the condition of your home is our highest priority when having an estate sale. We work in homes of all sizes and identify the measures we need to take to make sure the home is left in as good or better condition than when you turned it over to our team. This includes everything from carpet and wood floor covering to making all customers take off their shoes. We have team members stationed throughout the home to help carry larger items to ensure no damage gets done to the home.

Theft can be prevalent among estate sales as people think there is no surveillance within a home. We have solved this issue in a few different ways: Limiting the number of customers allowed in the home at one time Wireless security camera system that we bring to each sale Glass cases for expensive jewelry and small items Strategic placement of costly items near the register for constant monitoring

Pricing and the knowledge of the correct price on the second-hand market for an item can be one of the biggest challenges an estate sale company can face. Using a combination of pricing resources and experts within our network we can correctly identify, price and market your valuable pieces.

Unfortunately, we are unable to work in a home that someone is living in. If this is a challenge for you, we can brainstorm with you during our initial consultation.

Every situation is different. The short answer is yes, we offer discounts on the second day of a sale (upwards of 20-30%) and may increase the discount on the following days (upwards of 50%). Our pricing begins slightly below retail value and as we discount, the prices become more enticing to secondary market customers. Any discounting after the initial price drop is done to ensure liquidation of the contents of the home while keeping fixed prices on items of high value.
