R & S ESTATE SALE SERVICES:
PRE-SALE:
We will enter your home to clean, sort, display and merchandise your items and conduct your sale in a timely, professional manner. If possible allow 2 weeks to prepare for the sale.
PRICING:
Our extensive experience helps us to determine the pricing and fair market value of your items. It also helps us to keep sales volumes up, by not under or over pricing. If we have an item that is not in our area of expertise, we will have an outside appraiser (at our expense) to determine the value. The clients knowledge of the value of a specific item is always appreciated and considered. If we find items of potential value or that might have special sentimental value, that we have not previously discussed, we will contact you before the sale.
ADVERTISING:
We have a continually growing email list of estate sale customers that is sent out prior to the sale. We advertise through local newspapers, 24-7estatesales.com, signage (as each city permits) and through our many contacts. Photos of the sale will be posted on our website (which will be linked to the email list) and on 24-7estatesales.com website for potential buyers to view and ask questions.
SALE DAY:
Our knowledable and friendly sales staff will provide sufficient floor coverage during the sale. Merchandise prices are firm on the first day of the sale with a reduction schedule on the final day. Bids are accepted before reductions take effect. All money is collected and processed by R & S with a settlement check provided within 14 days of sale.
SECURITY:
We conduct the sale in a professional and efficient manner and take all reasonable steps to prevent theft or damage to your items or home. We have a reputable and knowledgeable staff to assist us in our sales.
COSTS:
No hidden fees. Our fees are clarified in a written contract and approved by our client in advance.
POST SALE:
