Frequently Asked Questions

An estate sale is the public sale and liquidation of someone's personal belongings. People often hold an estate sale when they are downsizing, relocating, or handling the possessions of a deceased family member.

We handle all size and types of estate sales. Our ability to take on a sale depends on our current schedule and the service your estate requires. If we can't take on your sale due to timing or other reasons, we'll gladly refer you to a reputable alternative. 

We handle estates along the Mississippi Gulf Coast stretching from Bay St. Louis to Pascagoula, MS and as far north as Wiggins. We are based out of Biloxi, MS and depending on the services required, we will travel to handle your estate needs.

Our customers are our best asset. We have a strong following along the Gulf Coast, with customers who are always ready for an estate sale. Our customer base includes collectors and "end users," who are people who buy items for themselves and are willing to pay for quality. 

No. Your consultation and walk-through are completely free. Standard in this business, we don't have any upfront costs. Even if we can't take on your sale, we'll give you the best advice we can and point you in the right direction.

​Our fees are based on a fair percentage of the final gross sales and are determined by various conditions of the house or estate. There are no upfront costs—our services only cost you after the sale and any post-sale arrangements have been completed. We provide a specific percentage quote after an in-person walk-through.

At the signing of the agreement, we'll schedule the sale date based on your desired timeline and our schedule. We ideally need about two weeks to prepare and advertise your sale, but we understand the need to move fast. The sale itself usually runs for three days—Wednesday thru Friday—depending on the quantity and quality of items. Saturday is our pickup and final sale day, which helps us sell more and increase your final profit. Post-sale arrangements should be completed within a few days following the sale. Our weekends and schedules fill up fast, so we encourage you to call us as early as possible.

We'll discuss your options for unsold items before the sale and include them in the agreement. One of the most popular options is donation, and you may be able to get a tax receipt. You can learn more under our services.

We offer complete home clean-out services to get your property ready for its next purpose. Our service includes sorting items for donation, arranging donation pickup, and hauling away all trash. Once the home is empty, we provide a "broom-swept" cleaning to prepare it for most real estate showings. Please note that we do not offer more extensive cleaning services, such as deep carpet cleaning. Our rates are based primarily on the size of the home.

We hold a $1 million liability insurance policy to protect both parties. We also require the home to have its own liability insurance.

We do not allow clients or family members to be present during the preparation and sale. The process can be difficult to witness as the home is converted into a sales venue, which can be uncomfortable for those with a close connection to the items. It's also a matter of liability and security, so we ask that you don't schedule any showings or maintenance that would require entry to the home during this time.

Before your consultation, please remove any items you do not want to be sold. We recommend clearing out personal items, family photos (even if you want to keep the frame), trash, and broken items. This helps us accurately assess the profitability of the sale and focus on the items you want us to sell.
