Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive from clients and shoppers in Florida. How do estate sales work? Read on to learn more
What is an estate sale?
An estate sale is a professionally managed liquidation of personal property, typically held after a major life event such as a downsizing, relocation, or the passing of a loved one. Typically, items are sold directly from the home to the public over 1–3 days, however, there are multiple estate sale formats you can choose from.
How much does it cost to hire an estate sale company?
Most estate sale companies, including ours, operate on a commission-based model. That means no upfront fees—we take a percentage of the total sale proceeds. Our percentage depends on the scope and complexity of your sale.
How long does it take to prepare for an estate sale?
We typically need 1 to 2 weeks to prepare, organize, stage, and price all items. Larger or more complex estates may require additional time. We handle everything for our clients, to make the process as easy and seamless as possible.
What happens to items that don’t sell?
After the sale, we offer several options: donation coordination, clean-out services, or leaving items for family pickup. We’ll work with you to find the best solution based on your needs and goals.
Do you offer sales for condos or gated communities?
Absolutely. We regularly work in gated communities, retirement villages, and condos throughout Florida. We coordinate closely with HOA management and follow all neighborhood regulations.
