FAQ
WHY CHOOSE B&B ESTATE SALES?
We are your one stop shop when it comes to selling your home and the contents in it. Susan, one of our founders, is a licensed real estate agent in NJ. She can help you with the entire process of selling your home. Joe, our other founder, can sell the contents in your home. Our team brings a wide array of knowledge when it comes to evaluating and selling. Joe has been buying and selling items since 2011. He has done extensive research on many household items including vintage, antique, and modern. We offer competitive rates and will get you top dollar for your items. Finally, we will treat your home and items as if they were our very own.
WHAT KIND OF SERVICES DO YOU OFFER?
Our two main goals are to sell as many items as we can and to empty the home to your liking. Estate sales and removal of unsold or unwanted items are our top two services. In addition, we offer consignment and online auctions services. Contact us today to discuss any of these options.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO HOST AN ESTATE SALE?
Each sale is unique and different in it's 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. In the unlikely event that the sale doesn't cover the fees we offer many options to assist.
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.
HOW DOES THE PROCESS WORK?
After contacting us, someone from our staff will schedule an appointment with you to see the contents of the home. Generally, a walk-though 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 schedule another visit before the event to prep for the sale. We will bring all the tables, pricing tags, and any other material we feel our team will need in order to have a successful sale. At the conclusion of the sale we will clean up all of our materials and provide you a detailed sales report of the items that sold. After the sales report is presented and reviewed together we will issue you a check or an electronic transfer of the proceeds minus our fees.
WILL I OWE MONEY AT THE END OF THE SALE?
99% of our clients are issued checks at the end of a sale. The main reason we schedule a consultation to view the contents offered for a sale is 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 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.
