Whether you're downsizing, handling a family member's estate, or simply clearing out a home, an estate sale can be a great option—but it can also feel overwhelming at first. I'm here to help make the process simpler, more organized, and a lot less stressful.
❓ What exactly *is* an estate sale?
An estate sale is a way to sell most or all of the belongings in a home—usually after a major life transition like a move, downsizing, or inheritance. Unlike a yard sale, estate sales are more structured, often held inside the home, and managed professionally to help you get fair value for your items.
🧹 Do I need to clean or organize everything before the sale?
Nope! In fact, it’s often better if you don’t. I’ll help sort, stage, and price items, and advise on what’s worth selling versus donating or discarding. What feels overwhelming to you might be everyday work for me.
🛋️ What kind of things sell at an estate sale?
You’d be surprised. It’s not just antiques—everyday household goods, tools, cookware, vintage clothes, collectibles, books, and furniture can all sell well. Even partially used items (like cleaning supplies or pantry goods) are sometimes popular.
⏳ How long does the process take?
Every situation is different, but most estate sales can be planned and completed within 2–4 weeks from the initial consult to cleanout. We’ll work at a pace that suits your schedule and goals.
🧾 What happens to the leftover items?
You’ve got options. I can help coordinate donations, haul-away services, or simply organize what you’d like to keep. The goal is always to leave the home as clear and clean as possible.
💸 How much do estate sale services cost?
Most estate sale services are commission-based, meaning you don’t pay anything up front. My fee comes out of a percentage of what sells—and we’ll go over all the details together before anything is scheduled.
🏔️ Do you serve my area?
Yes! I offer estate sale services in Western Colorado.
🤝 Final Thought
