FAQs
Most online estate sales take about two weeks from the time our team begins until we’re finished with the process. Smaller projects can be completed faster, and larger estate liquidations may take a little more time. Our goal is always to provide an efficient, stress-free estate sale service that works with your schedule.
Our modern approach is different from traditional estate sale companies. Instead of opening your home to the public, we transform it into a private, virtual showroom. Our specialists catalog and professionally photograph your items, then host an online auction that attracts thousands of verified buyers. After the sale, we coordinate pickups discreetly and provide you with a detailed accounting and a check for your next chapter.
Yes. Brown Button carries full liability coverage, workers’ compensation, and we are bonded. This sets us apart from many estate sale companies. A national survey found that 62% of companies are not bonded and nearly a quarter don’t carry liability insurance.

Most traditional estate sale companies turn your home into a crowded retail space. Brown Button offers a modern alternative: a private, online estate sale service. This means no strangers walking through your home, no disruption to your neighborhood, and a far more discreet process.
Our professional team catalogs, photographs, and markets your items in a high-visibility online auction. Buyers bid on their own schedule, and only enter the home to pick up items they’ve already purchased. We manage every step of the process, from marketing to pickup coordination, while carefully protecting your home.
You’ll also receive real-time, transparent accounting, so you can track results as they happen. It’s a modern, high-performing estate sale experience that sets Brown Button apart from traditional estate sale companies.
There are no upfront charges or out-of-pocket costs for our estate sale service. Brown Button is a commission-based estate sale company, meaning our payment is a percentage of the selling prices of the items we handle. We believe this model keeps us on the same team as you, the more successful the sale, the more we both benefit.
Every project is unique, whether it’s a downsizing move or a full estate liquidation. That’s why we offer a free in-home consultation to review your goals, walk through the estate, and explain exactly how our commission structure would apply to your project.
