What we know.
I was willed this estate and I need help with everything!
That’s okay, we can help! Liquidation is our specialty and we are lucky to be acquainted with a network of professionals who provide a number of services that may be beneficial to you!
Should I throw away, remove, or donate items prior to the sale?
While we certainly appreciate the attempt to alleviate some work for us, some items that may be deemed as removable could hold value that our expert team can identify and capitalize on for you. Part of the service we’re lucky to provide as an all-inclusive company is debris removal. We will handle all of those types of things so you can focus on what matters.
We are downsizing and keeping some of the property, but would like to sell the remainder. Is that something you can help with?
Absolutely! We do not require a home to be full in order to conduct a sale and can even potentially add some non-competing items into your sale in order to broaden our reach and attract more customers in to view your property!
Do you sell vehicles?
Definitely! We have sold everything from cars and trucks to boats and planes so as long as you have access to the title and the legal authority to sell the vehicle we can absolutely liquidate it for you.
Will you do sales in a gated community ?
Absolutely! So long as the community allows for an estate sale, we will conduct one to the best of our abilities!
Will there be any items left in the home after the sale?
We remove any and all property and debris from the home at the conclusion of the sale based on your instruction! If you would like specific items left in the home we are happy to do so, but if you want the home completely empty we are just as happy to fulfill that request!
Do you allow customers to preorder?
We do not! We will begin posting photos of the items early in the week to drum up some excitement and allow for a sneak peak, but the items themselves are not available until the sale begins in order to ensure everyone gets the same opportunity to purchase the items.
Who prices the items?
Our staff has a combined 20+ years of estate sale service and we use that experience along with current market values and item condition to price the items for liquidation. In the event we run into some things that require an actual expert or a fresh set of eyes, we work with a wonderful team of appraisal professionals to ensure your items are appropriately priced!
What is the benefit of having a company conduct my sale?
Generally, whenever you reach a point in life where property liquidation becomes an issue you have a vast number of things to figure out. Hiring a company to conduct the sale for you removes that burden from you, and does so at no initial cost to you. We handle quite literally everything from the moment you decide to work with us until we hand you back a set of keys to an empty home. Our experience, knowledge, and network are things we’ve built up over years so we could put them to work doing the heavy lifting of liquidation for you, so you don’t have to carry it yourself.
What if I don’t think there’s enough for a sale?
Call us anyway! We will discuss the items you do have and potentially set up a time to come see the items in person! If we agree that our services won’t be beneficial to you we will do everything we can to set you up with another reputable company that can assist you!
Should I have house cleaners come in before the sale?
Part of our service is preparing the property for the sale, and we maximize the value of that property by ensuring both the location and the items are clean and presentable!
Do you advertise for the sale?
We do! We use a wide array of advertising methods to ensure the maximum amount of people have an opportunity to view and purchase your property! Our website features all of our sales and receives an average of 10,000+ views per sale! We also advertise through www.estatesales.net and receive thousands of views there each month as well! Lastly, we have a very devoted following on our social networking, specifically Facebook, and we utilize these tools to reach out to individuals in your city and the surrounding areas about your sale.
How long do the sales last?
We prefer to conduct our sales for three days beginning on Thursday and ending on Saturday. Some adjustments to days and times can be made depending on your wishes and specific rules in certain neighborhoods or cities.
What form of payment do you take?
We accept cash and all major debit or credit cards!
Are you insured?
Yes. We are licensed and insured to operate anywhere in Arizona.
Can I choose to keep the items that don’t sell?
Of course! Ultimately, the property is all yours and you are welcome to do with it as you please!
What do you do with items like paperwork and pictures?
Any and all items we find that contain any personal information and/or images/depictions is separated from the sellable items and stored away from the public. You will be notified and these items will be returned to you or destroyed based upon your instructions. If you’re aware of these items prior to our set-up process, please let us know and we will store, return, or destroy them based upon your instruction.
What if the property is full, but most of it is un-sellable?
Still, call us anyway! We will come take a look and if we agree that our services won’t be beneficial to you we will do everything we can to set you up with another reputable company that can assist you!
Do you provide an inventory?
Yes! We provide an itemized inventory of your large and unique items as well as bulk items. We also break the inventory down by item location in order to simplify and organize it for better understanding and update it with both the listed and final sale price for the items mentioned above.
Do you sell specialty items like large collections, antiques, jewelry, etc.?
These are some of our favorite items to liquidate! Our experienced team will use all of the knowledge and information available to appraise your unique items and will work tirelessly to find liquidate those items in accordance with your instructions.
Do you charge any fee’s up front?
Never. Our business is built based on the idea that you hiring us will be an experience that is mutually beneficial. As such, we receive a commission on the items we sell and only on the items we sell.
How far in advance do you begin setting up
Generally we begin the Monday prior to the beginning of the sale. The process may take longer depending on how much property needs to be liquidated, and that determination will be made with your input and schedule in mind!
What do you do to prevent theft?
We take multiple steps to ensure the safety of your property! First, the location of the sale is not revealed until the evening prior to the beginning of the sale in order to minimize the risk or the public having too much access too early! Also, during the sale our well trained staff is constantly moving from room to room and interacting with the customers, so a strong employee presence is always felt! Additionally, if we deem it necessary, we will hire private security firms or off-duty police officers to watch specific properties overnight to ensure the safety of the items.
Unfortunately, despite our best effort, sometimes a theft may occur and for those situations we are adequately insured.
