The first step is to schedule a walkthrough with our team — you can easily book your consultation here.

During the visit, we’ll tour the home together, discuss your goals, and create a customized plan for your estate sale. We’ll also review possible dates, your timeline, and walk you through exactly how our process works from beginning to end.

Not local? We can work with you to determine an alternative walkthrough.

Our estate sale process typically takes about 1 to 3 weeks from start to finish. Every home is different — some can be ready in just days, while others require a bit more time to organize and prepare. Our experienced team is equipped to handle everything from simple setups to large, complex projects with care and efficiency. 

That’s a great question! Give us a call at 850-546-2867, and we’ll be happy to talk through your situation. We can help you determine whether you have enough items for an estate sale or if another option might be a better fit. 

There are no upfront or out-of-pocket costs to you. Our commission is based on a percentage of total sales and is simply deducted from the proceeds at the end of your sale.

• For sales totaling $10,000 or less, there is a flat rate of $3,500.
• For sales above $10,000, the commission is 35% of total sales.

Additional services, such as pre-sale trash removal or post-sale cleanup, may incur a separate fee. 

While donating is always a kind gesture, we recommend holding onto all items until after the estate sale. Many items are completely sellable and can add extra value to your overall proceeds.

Please avoid discarding or donating anything in the home before the sale — our team can help you determine what’s worth keeping. If you feel certain items must be removed, contact us first for a professional opinion to ensure nothing of potential value is overlooked. We’re always happy to help!

That’s a completely understandable concern, and we take it very seriously. While theft can occur at some estate sales, we’ve developed effective ways to minimize risk and protect your belongings:

• Limited entry: We control how many customers are allowed inside at one time.
• Strategic staffing: Our team members are positioned throughout the home to keep a close eye on all areas during the sale.
• Thoughtful setup: High-value items are placed near the checkout area for constant supervision.
• Trusted team: We maintain a thorough screening and background check process for staff to ensure your home and belongings are handled responsibly.

Our proactive approach helps ensure a safe, secure, and professional environment for every estate sale.

After your estate sale, we offer cleanout services to help with anything that remains. Our team can coordinate donations for usable items and dispose of anything unsellable, making the process simple and stress-free for you.
