When you need an entire house(or property) of items you need sold! We specialize in liquidating everything for you. From the Antiques and collectibles to the things under the sink and everything in between. Vehicles, collectibles or cleaning supplies, we will sell everything and leave you an empty home ready for a real estate agent.
Collectively, our team has many decades of experience in antiques and estate liquidation! Marjorie and her father ran an estate sale company for 20+ years before we decided to start our own company. Misty also worked with her husband in the auction industry for 20+ years. Matthew, Bonnie and the rest of the team also all grew up in and around the antique industry.
We do 40+ estates each year and the trick to doing what we do so efficiently and successfully is having such an amazing crew of people with so much experience, and a love for what they do.
No, we do estates all over SE Idaho! Just like our customers, we are always willing to travel for an estate sale!
Depending on the estate, usually 3-14 days. This time frame includes purging the home of all things not sellable, staging the estate and pricing everything! We have an amazing crew with a couple people for every niche aspect of the process. This allows us to be very efficient and conduct our estates with the utmost professionalism, consistently.
This comes from a lot of experience, access to various different appraisal, auction and archival sites, and a good attention to detail. Market values on different collectibles will vary from year to year as trends come and go. We do our best to make sure that we are always up to date, so that we can always realize the best value for our clients.
No! We do not get paid until the completion of the estate! We cover all upfront costs and do not charge any setup fees, advertising cost, materials, etc. No surprises. It is our job to do as good a job as we can for you.
No! Please dont throw anything away! Part of the process of what we do involves going through everything. During this phase, we will dispose of anything that isnt "sellable".
Dont feel like you need to clean or organize before our initial walkthrough. We are very good at "Seeing the forest through the tress" and will handle all of that tedious process for you and it allows us to make sure that we can maximize the profit of the estate sale for you. You would be amazed at what is worth something to someone!
The first step is reaching out to set up a walkthrough. We will go through with you, evaluate the estate, give you an estimate of the overall value of the estate and discuss any logistics. This is when we can discuss timeframes and go over the contract with you.
High Five and walk away! We want to be the easiest part of this process for you. Once you have signed a contract with us, all you need to do it worry about getting the items that the family wants to keep removed from the property and then wait for us to do our thing!
This is ultimately up to the client. Most clients want us to donate everything that is left and leave them an empty home, but we will do whatever best suits the needs of our client. When we donate, we always make the effort to donate within the community first, so that we can help low income or families in need before we help the big chain thrift stores.
