Closing a home can be exhausting and even traumatic. We strive to minimize our clients’ stress no matter what the circumstance.
We’re experts in managing estate liquidations, and offer efficient, professional services without forgetting the needs of our clients. We are fully insured.
Your home need not be filled with antiques, artwork, vintage automobiles, fine jewelry and other expensive assets in order for a sale to be successful. We routinely liquidate estates of all types and sizes.
No death need have occurred, either. We often work for those who just wish to downsize. We also work for those who are moving, couples who are divorcing, businesses that are liquidating, etc.
The process begins with a complimentary consultation in which we come and view the property in question. At this time, we also discuss any special needs you may have. (We recognize that each situation is unique.)
Our commission, something usually set in the initial consultation, is based upon what we estimate the gross sales will be and how much work must be done in order for your sale to be successful. (N.b.: We may quote lower commissions on particular items — e.g., motorcycles, higher end automobiles, recreational vehicles, boats and other exceptionally high ticket items.)
Once we sign a contract that outlines our basic duties and expectations, we work patiently and efficiently. We clean, organize and display all items in the home.
We separate household trash from merchandise to be sold. There’s no need for you to do this beforehand. We do the work for you! In fact, we even go so far as to ask that you throw absolutely nothing away until we’ve had a chance to see the estate in its entirety. You’d be amazed to see what some folks put into the garbage can !
We price most items to be sold based upon our many years of experience as professional estate appraisers and liquidators, as well as our knowledge of current market comparables.
Should an outside expert be needed for consultation during the research/pricing process (e.g., with large gems, certain firearms, coins, stamps, Asian artifacts etc.), we take care of matters quickly and discreetly.
We send out e-mail notifications about our upcoming sales to the many, many thousands of customers already in our database. We use a professional e-mail delivery service that guarantees 99% deliverability !
We create, place and pay for advertising in the most appropriate local newspaper(s). We advertise on both EstateSales.org and EstateSales.net to notify customers who aren’t already on our regular e-mail list. We post on average 150+ photos for every one of our sales on these websites.
Our friendly and reliable staff waits on each and every customer on sale day(s). We provide boxes, bags and wrapping materials for customers on sale day(s).
We accept all major credit cards !
If there (and this is rare) are very high-end items left over, we can even help you place them into the appropriate auction.
We’ll work with your realtor to expedite the sale of your home. (Why pass up free marketing for your largest asset?)
It all boils down to this: we work for YOU, the client, and strive to make you as much money as possible in as short a time as possible. We have a proven track record in the business for over 30 years !
Our commissions are competitive; our service is comprehensive. Were waiting for your call ! Were available for day and evening appointments !
“Leave it to the professional staff at Statewide to lighten your load. Will handle everything from beginning to end no matter what your circumstance. Less worries and stress for you to deal with. Our goal is to exceed your expectations ! We look forward doing business with you and having a successful and profitable sale ! ”
