How It Works

We begin by assessing the contents of your home, referring antiques, art, and collectibles to appraisers as needed for accurate estate liquidation. Our team prepares household items for sale, which includes cleaning, organizing, pricing, and displaying them in a visually appealing manner. We take beautiful photographs of merchandise for online promotion on EstateSales.net and EstateSale.com to enhance visibility.

We compose and place all advertising for the estate sale, ensuring effective promotion across various platforms. Our marketing strategy includes promoting the estate sale and specific items of interest on social media, particularly Facebook.

To facilitate a smooth sale, we supply necessary equipment such as tables with tablecloths, racks, shelves, and display cases. Our experts research and price unique items to secure a fair market price, ensuring you get the best value. We also provide and place estate sale signs to attract and direct buyers to the sale location.

We provide comprehensive estate sale liquidation services, including appraisals, sale management, and cleanout services. Let us handle the details so you can focus on what's important.

Our friendly and hardworking staff assists customers throughout the sale, and we hire extra security as needed for added safety. Additionally, we offer clean-out services to remove all desired items from the home, leaving the premises broom-swept and ready for the next steps in your home organization.

At the end of the sale, we promptly deliver a comprehensive final accounting, including an itemized sales summary listing items sold and their respective amounts. You will receive a check for the sales proceeds minus any agreed-upon fees, ensuring a transparent and professional estate sales process.

Babe's Estate Sales charges a percentage of gross sales (usually 35%) for our professional estate sales services, depending on the size of the estate and other factors discussed with the client beforehand. We specialize in estate liquidation and home organization, ensuring there are NEVER any up-front or hidden fees.
