What is an estate sale?

When someone dies, a family member is often left with the responsibility of settling the estate.  After the family removes objects of sentimental value, they often choose to dispose of any remaining items by CONTACTING an experienced estate seller.  Our CLIENT SERVICES provide the family with liquid assets while offering buyers wonderful opportunities to find interesting and unique items at OUR SALES.

What does Estate Sale Connection charge?

Our earnings are typically a percentage of the total receipts and thus based on the overall success of the sale.  The percentage usually depends on both the value of the estate and number of items to be sold.  We cannot guarantee higher returns but typically see gross returns 200% higher than traditional estate sellers.

How do I qualify to be an Estate Sale Connection client?

All potential sales are evaluated on a case by case basis and largely dependent on our valuation for the estate contents.  After reviewing your situation, we will set up a free consultation at the estate.  If we are unable to assist you with a sale, we will likely be able to refer you to someone who can.  Please submit a CLIENT PROFILE, EMAIL or CALL with an inquiry.
