How to Sell a Collection You Did Not Build

How to Sell Furniture From an Estate, Step by Step

What an Estate Sale Costs in Chester County
Compare the commission, costs and work included before choosing someone to sell the contents of a house.

Estate Sale or In-Home Consignment?
A house with a deadline and a collection of good pieces need different selling plans. Here is how to choose.

What Is Worth Selling From Your House?
Furniture, art, models, cameras, audio and specialist tools. The maker, condition and practical handling matter more than a broad category label.

How We Price: Sold Comps, Not Asking Prices
Identify the piece, compare relevant completed sales and agree the price range before listing.

Selling a Parent's Belongings From Out of State
Start with room photos, a local contact and the deadline. Agree who will handle access, buyer visits and any shipping before the work starts.

Downsizing? Start Selling Before the Move
Choose what is coming with you, review the good pieces early and plan the remainder before moving day.

OUR PROMISE, IN WRITING
Our share is based on the proposal number. We take no commission on the difference.
We earn a share when a piece sells.
Your proposal. Your price floors.
Ask us for the insurance certificate.
Until the buyer has paid.
Within a day of the walkthrough you have a written proposal: every piece, what it should sell for, and our share. It is yours to keep whether you hire us or not.
Every dollar above the number in your proposal is yours, all of it. Our share is worked out on the proposal number and nothing else, so if we estimate a chest at $200 and it brings $2,000, we take our share of the $200 and the whole $1,800 goes to you. We take no commission on the difference.
It is your house and they are your things, so the final call on any price is yours. Ask us to open higher than we estimated and we will. If it sells there, you keep every dollar of the gap.
It applies to both services, consignment and estate sales.
We carry $1,000,000 of commercial general liability insurance through National Specialty Insurance Company, with customer property protection. Ask for the certificate and we send it before we set foot in the house, and you can be named as an additional insured on request.
Nothing up front. We are paid a share of what sells. If a piece does not sell, we are not paid for it.
