Keep what matters
Set aside personal documents, family keepsakes, and the belongings you know you want to keep. Avoid discarding potential sale items before a conversation.
A LITTLE CLARITY
Good questions. Thoughtful answers.
A few helpful starting points for your next chapter—before, during, and after an auction.
BEFORE WE TALK
Start here. Take your time.
Gather the details
A few photos and a general overview are a helpful start. If you have receipts, provenance, or previous appraisals, keep those available too.
Consider your timeline
Think about moving dates, property access, and any deadlines. Share these early so the proposed plan can take them into account.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Let’s make
things clearer.
Where should I start?
Start with a consultation request. Share your location, the type of property or collection, and your preferred timeline. There’s no need to have every detail figured out.
Should I sort or discard items first?
Set aside the things you plan to keep and any personal documents. Before discarding potential sale items, ask about them during your consultation; an item’s usefulness or interest may not be obvious.
How long does an auction take?
Most auctions require just 1–5 days of on-site cataloging and photography, followed by a 7-day online auction. Once bidding closes, we coordinate a scheduled pickup day for buyers. The entire process is designed to be efficient, convenient, and minimize disruption to your property.
What are the fees?
Our fees are based on a percentage of the auction proceeds, so our success is directly tied to yours. Commission rates vary depending on the size, value, and scope of your auction. All fees are clearly outlined upfront, with no surprises.
What happens to items after the auction?
After the auction closes, winning bidders are scheduled to pick up their purchases during a designated pickup day. Our team coordinates and manages the pickup process to ensure everything runs smoothly. Any unsold items remain the property owner’s responsibility, but we can provide referrals to trusted local cleanout and removal companies if additional assistance is needed.
Can I request an appraisal without an auction?
Yes, use the consultation form to ask about an appraisal. Specify its intended purpose so that availability, scope, qualifications, and suitability can be confirmed.
