FAQ
HOW DOES THE PROCESS WORK?
After contacting us, someone from our staff will schedule a free in-home consultation with you to see the home's contents. Sometimes, we ask that you send us photos, depending on our schedules. Generally, a walk-through takes approximately 30-60 minutes to complete. We will review the many options we offer to host your sale. If you decide to hire us, we will schedule another visit before the event to prep for the sale. We will bring all the tables, pricing tags, and materials our team needs for a successful sale. After the sale, we will clean up all of our materials and provide you with a detailed sales report of the sold items. After the sales report is presented and reviewed, we will issue you a check or an electronic transfer of the proceeds minus our fees.
HOW LONG DOES A SALE TAKE?
Typically, sales last 1-2 days but could go longer depending on the size of the sale and the number of items you have.
WHAT HAPPENS WITH UNSOLD ITEMS?
In the event items go unsold, we offer several options. At the seller's discretion, items can be consigned for an online sale, donated, or removed to a local landfill.
WILL I OWE MONEY AT THE END OF THE SALE?
99% of our clients are issued checks at the end of a sale. We mainly schedule a consultation to view the contents offered for sale to ensure a client will make money instead of paying. We know you want the items gone, and our goal is to help you earn while getting the contents removed.
Look at it like this: you can call a Junk remover with a fancy 1-800 number and pay them upfront to remove your items, which will only end up in a landfill, or you can contact an estate sale company to sell those same items and empty the home at the same time. The same goal is achieved without hurting your pockets! Our business is fully licensed and insured.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO HOST AN ESTATE SALE?
Each sale is unique and different in its own way. Depending on the needs of your sale, the cost can vary. In most cases, there are no upfront costs. The proceeds of the sale should cover our fees. If the sale doesn't cover the expenses, we offer many options to assist.
I CAN SELL THE STUFF MYSELF. WHY CHOOSE B&B ESTATE SALES?
Sure, you can sell your items yourself. Do you know how much to ask for a 1942 WW2 Bayonet? You can "google it." The problem with Google is that you'll get results ranging from $50 to $500. Which price will you go with? I've sold dozens of WW2 Bayonets and know what fair market value is. Besides, anyone can google image an item and try to go off what you found. I can put my right shoe on Google for $1 Million dollars, but that doesn't mean I'll get it. Knowing the fair market value of your items will be the difference between a successful sale and a not-so-successful sale. Here are the reasons you should hire a professional:
