ESTATE SALE - PUBLIC SALE ON PREMISE/ONLINE
After an initial consultation with our client, it is determined whether an online sale, public sale on the premise or combination of both will be conducted. Then our sales team will tag and price each item at its optimal selling price for the purposes of resale. These items may range from fine antiques, furniture, art, silver and jewelry to pots, pans and tools. We display and advertise items to optimize their worth as well as value items that you might have overlooked or discarded. In addition, our extensive mailing list, social media presence and loyal customer following ensure widespread exposure. Commission of the gross receipts for this service is determined after the initial meeting.
