and can get even your most unique items sold

Step One

After contact, you and Lala will arrange a consultation visit. This is a time for her to come look at the house, the items inside, and any additional unique pieces that need new homes. We will then discuss timing, our estimated time to prepare for the sale, and what we'll do with any remaining items.

Preparation

Preparing for an estate sale takes some time. Successful sales are built on great preparation. Depending on the size and type of sale you need, we will need anywhere from a few days to several weeks to prepare. These hours are part of our final fee collected after your fantastic sale. If you would like to cut down on our total expense, you can certainly get involved! The more you do, the less we have to, but we are happy to do it all! Preparation for the sale includes:

Sorting and deciding what to sell
Grouping items into categories
Displaying selected items on tables
Taking photographs of certain items (for listing)
Pricing
Marketing – posting in multiple outlets
Estate Sale signage – post signs around neighborhood

For “clean-out” areas (like cluttered garages, basements), expect more preparation time.

What's included

For the sale, we provide:

Photos and marketing
Some tables
Price stickers
Estate sale signage
Sale day set-ups, as needed.
Management of the sale

Sale date(s)

We market all of our sales in multiple outlets: on EstateSales.net, our Facebook page, our website and direct text messaging to our regular and eager customers. We cannot guarantee a level of attendance or return, but we do our best to maximize traffic and profits for you. We will give you options for where your remaining items can be taken or picked up by a donation service.

Payment

We charge a straight forward and affordable hourly rate for our time, to make the whole process easier for you. Your total revenue from the sale will be the sale proceeds less our commission and team's total time preparing for, managing, and cleaning up from the sale. We will issue you a net check 7-10 after the event.

"When the time came for us to move our parents into a place where they would receive more care, we were fortunate to have Lynne Stewart to assist us. None of the family lived close by to handle the sale of our parent's personal belongings. As we were in the process of getting them settled, we could focus on their well-being and not worry about emptying out their home. We don't know what we would have done with their furniture and household items. Lynne helped us immensely by going thorough research as to the value' of the furniture and other household belongings. She took the time to take measurements, photos. and determine pricing. She ran her suggestions by us but I was always confident with her recommendations as I knew the work that went behind it. As ours was a case that we were selling the home, Lynne worked closely with the realtor as to what pieces should stay for staging the home until it sold. She was able to find people that understood that we needed time before removing the items from the house. If the purchaser couldn't wait, Lynne pursued other potential buyers. Lynne always kept me posted as to the status and made sure I was comfortable with any offers. She provided me with a detailed listing of sales, less her commissions and quickly venmoed me the funds. It was a smooth process from start to finish. If Lynne handles any business for you, you would be working with someone very professional, qualified, knowledgeable in the field and comfortable working with social media. She also brings the traits of understanding and compassion when you work with her."
