Yes, we have liability coverage, workers compensation, and are bonded. Unfortunately, this isn’t the norm in our industry. According to a recent national survey of estate sales companies: 62% are not bonded and a quarter of all companies don’t carry liability insurance.

 

Both scenarios work great for us. Your Realtor might have a preference as it impacts how the house will show on the market – staged or empty.

 

We work with a local non-profit 501c3 charity that picks up any remaining items after the sale.

Clean and empty. We understand that a clean empty house is often one of the biggest goals in having an estate sale. We work with a local 501C3 charity to donate any remaining items after the sale. We have an optional service for our team to remove all the trash from the estate and have the house cleaned to your specifications. When we’re finished, the house is clean, empty, and ready to close.

 

We are a commission based company. We love that, because it puts us on the same team. You pay no up front costs and we’re incentivized to maximize the value of your estate. Our commissions range from 38% – 52% and depend on the size of your estate. The more value in the estate, the lower your commission.

 

We’re more expensive because we offer the most comprehensive estate sale service in Kansas City. If you want white glove service, the ability to trust it will all be handled, the freedom to truly walk away and leave your project to us – that’s when you hire our team.

Knowledgeable pricing is one of the biggest challenges for an estate sale company – that’s why we have three certified appraisers and a gemologist on our team. Over the years we’ve sold museum quality paintings for over $100,000, designer fashion by every major label, fine furniture by every significant brand, and antiques from every era. Because we are commission based, we’re very motivated to correctly identify and sell your items for their highest value. We take our time, do our research, and utilize the resources of our sister company Circle Auction.

 

Unfortunately no. Our process is quite intensive as we bring an entire team of organizers, stagers, pricers, and advertisers to transform your house into a boutique store. If this is a big challenge for you, we can brainstorm solutions during our free home consultation

The majority of our estate sales take place in Leawood, Overland Park, Mission Hills, and Kansas City (often around the Plaza area). We also host estate sales in some areas of Prairie Village, Lenexa, Olathe, Lee’s Summit, Mission, Fairway, and North KC.
