Most sales take about two weeks from our team starting to home clearance, though we can adjust based on your schedule and needs. Small projects can go faster.

We offer a modern, online estate sale process tailored for STL families. We catalog your items, host a virtual online estate sale utilizing an auction format, and manage all the pickups. This gives you more space and freedom from any unneeded items. After the sale, you receive detailed and transparent accounting with a check for your next adventure.

Minimal. Our estate sales are online, which means no open house crowds or foot traffic, just coordinated item pickups after the sale ends.

Unlike traditional estate sales, we don’t turn your home into a crowded store. With Brown Button, your estate sale happens entirely online. Meaning no foot traffic, no strangers roaming your home, and no disruption to your neighborhood. Buyers browse and bid on their own schedule, and only come to the home to pick up items they’ve already purchased.

Our professional team handles all pickups, carefully protecting your home during the process. You’ll also have access to real-time, fully transparent accounting throughout the sale, so you can track results as they happen. It’s a modern, private, and high-performing estate sale experience tailored for St. Louis’ most refined households.
