Conducted Estate Sales

We recommend having a Conducted Estate Sale if the volume and value of the contents are great enough to warrant one. We take care of all aspects of an estate sale, including the merchandising, pricing, and advertising. Our marketing for your property covers a range of venues from the Virginian Pilot, Daily Press, Craigs List, flyers, signs, emails, estate sale websites to plenty of hand outs and posters in our store.  We handle the bookkeeping, maintain the safety and security of the merchandise, and our friendly staff provides great customer service.

We are bonded and insured to protect the interests of our clients, and have worked hard to develop a reputation for running fair and efficient sales. Our prices reflect today’s market with the focus on generating sales, not disappointment. Our experience in the antique and vintage marketplace, plus our ability to research market values on specific high-demand pieces, results in our ability to reach our goal for an estate sale – to empty the house while generating proceeds for the client.

We will do an estate content analysis for you at no charge. Contact us for further information.

Household Clean Outs

If you have a house that needs to be emptied, but is filled mostly with debris and/or items that don’t have resale potential, we can also provide a complete clean-out service so you can prepare the house for sale or closing. This is a fee-based service and we will do a free estimate in order to give you a quote.

Among the services we can provide:

• Emptying every room from attic to basement, plus the garage, storage sheds, porches, etc.
• Debris removal, including foodstuffs, accumulated papers, wood & building materials, etc.*
• Scheduling the arrival and removal of a dumpster if necessary.
• Appliance removal
• Vacuuming all carpets, sweeping all floors (leaving the house in “broom-clean” condition)
• Carpet pull-up and disposal
• Kitchen and bathroom cleaning
• Wiping down floors and walls

*We cannot remove hazardous materials or chemicals; your local public works department can advise you on the method of disposing of them in your community.

Consignment Sales: We are happy to consider selling an item or two for you on consignment for a percentage of the selling price. Contact us for details on consignment.
