We get to positively impact the clients we work for and the customers we serve every week. We’re a tight-knit crew focused on bringing our best, encouraging each other, and enjoying the daily challenges our work throws at us.
We are a Kansas City luxury estate sale company.
When our clients move or downsize, our team goes into their house to organize, stage, price, advertise, and host a multi-day sale.
When we’re finished, our clients get a large check to fund their next adventure and a completely empty house that’s ready to be sold.
The work we do every day matters, as it has a positive impact on the lives of those we serve. We love that. We love working in a business that, at the end of the day, serves others well. And we’re proud to do it.
We are a group of A-game players.
Our goal is to change the estate sale industry, and we bring 100% every day to make that happen. From how we stage our houses to the professional photography we shoot; from our over-the-top customer service on sale days to how we clean the house after the sale, we’re here to raise the bar.
Our company has won several awards including Kansas City’s 25 under 25, Ingram’s Fast 50, and we’ve ranked twice on the Inc. 5000 fastest growing companies in the US.
We’ve also been featured in the Kansas City Star, KMBC 9, KCTV 5, The Kansas City Business Journal, The Pitch, and Thinking Bigger Media.

Culture.
First and foremost, we have an amazing culture that sets us apart. Our team cares about each other, encourages each other, and calls each other up to be our best and do our best. We care about people and we prioritize that — even if it doesn’t result in more profit. We care about personal growth — even if it doesn’t benefit the company. We have quarterly team parties to connect and celebrate our recent wins. Ask most of our team what their favorite thing is about working for Brown Button, and their answer is “Culture.”

Variety.
Every week, we’re in a new house, full of items we’ve never seen before, helping a new client. We’re essentially a pop-up retail store dealing with 100% fresh inventory with every new project. Each new house has somewhere between 2,000-6,000 items that need to be organized, staged, priced, and advertised. We come into contact with unique, beautiful items every day. The challenges we encounter change every week, and the job is always interesting and different.

Big plans for the future.
In 2018, we launched our sister company, Circle Auction. This added depth to our services and more positions for our team to grow into. We’re planning on expanding our estate sale services in the Kansas City area. As the company continues to grow, there will be new opportunities for team members to be promoted into new roles and responsibilities.

Director of Pricing
Support Team Manager
Project Manager
Senior Pricer
Organizing Assistants spend most of their time sorting items in the estate sale house and organizing under the direction of the Staging Manager. While organizing in the house they sort through all the rooms, drawers, cabinets, and closets; grouping and separating items of higher and lower value.
Our company is multi-faceted and has lots of different areas in which our team members work. We’re always on the lookout for new quality team members. If you have a skill set we didn’t mention but think you could bring value, by all means, fill out an application and tell us how you would be a good fit. We’ll make up a position for the right person with the right skills.
Are you skilled at photography and interested in working with unique and high-end items? We’re seeking an Auction Photographer to join our team. This mobile role will primarily focus on photographing estate items (art, furniture, jewelry, decor, fashion) inside homes across Kansas City for our online estate auctions.
The Jewelry Expert would be responsible for the pricing of the fine jewelry at Brown Button as well as all the jewelry at Circle Auction.
The Entry Level Jewelry Pricer is in charge of pricing, advertising, and staging most of the jewelry in our estate sales, the amount of which can vary from project to project.
The fashion pricer is in charge of organizing, staging, and pricing all of the fashion which can vary from 100 pieces to 1,000 depending on the project.
Each sale the pricers individually sticker and assign a value to somewhere between 1,500 and 4,000 items. Entry Level Pricers focus on the generally lower value items in the house, often pricing several hundred items a day.
We are on the hunt for knowledgable, seasoned, fast moving pricer who is ready to jump in and share their expertise. We need someone who has a wealth of experience, who can walk in a house and quickly find the items of significant value.
The Staging Manager is responsible for making our estate sales look amazing. They know the difference between expensive and inexpensive items and how to highlight the former. While staging, they group similar styled items together making rooms feel cohesive.
The sale day team serves our shoppers on sales days (most often Thursday through Saturday). We strive to bring BPA (blow-people-away) customer service through answering customer questions, running the register, rearranging the house throughout the sale, and helping customers load items to their car.
The support team is the “muscle” of our crew. They manage the majority of our furniture moves and drive our vans + trailers for furniture delivery and supplies drop offs. They move the majority of the furniture and large items in our houses during the staging process.
