Practical Help. Experienced Hands.Our Estate Sale Services
Downsizing, moving, or handling a loved one's belongings? We'll help you figure out where to start and get to work. From everyday household items to lifelong collections, we look for value, prepare your sale, and connect your belongings with buyers.
Full-Service Estate Sales
A house full of belongings, and you're not sure where to start? That's where we come in. We organize, research, price, and prepare items for sale, then handle promotion, staffing, and checkout. From the tools in the garage to the collection in the cabinet, we look for value you might overlook.
Selling What's Left
Our work doesn't stop when the estate sale ends. When items remain, we use our Facebook bidding group to offer them in lots, helping clear more from the home and bring in additional money for you. If there's still value there, we want to give it a chance to sell.
Downsizing & Transition Guidance
Moving to a smaller home or handling a family member's belongings? You don't need to have everything sorted before calling us. We'll look at what's there, discuss what you're planning to keep, and explain how an estate sale could help. Before you throw things away, let's take a look. There may be value you haven't considered.
What to Expect After the Sale
When the sale ends, we don't just lock the door and leave. Any remaining items can go into our Facebook bidding lots, and buyers pick them up right from the home, so more gets cleared without extra work for you. Before we begin, we'll walk you through what we'll take care of and what may still need your attention, so there are no surprises at the end.
How It WorksWhat It Costs
There's no upfront payment to Elk Estate Sales. We work on a percentage of your sale proceeds, with the rate based on your timeline. Our commission covers our time and work preparing and running your sale. We pay advertising costs upfront and deduct the actual expense separately from the proceeds.
If a permit is required, you'll just need to arrange it. If you'd like in-person security, we can arrange it at your expense. Additional cleaning, if needed to prepare the home for the sale, carries a separate charge. We'll go over the costs with you before work begins.
