Consultation
This first step in any estate sale process is the free consultation. During this consultation, we will perform a detailed walk through of the property, outlining what is to stay and what is to go. Prior to the consultation, please do not donate anything or throw anything away. One man’s junk is another man’s treasure and everything in the home is sellable. Even things such as clothes, toilet tissue and cleaning supplies.
The Contract
After we have walked through the property, we will sit down and do an in-depth review of the contract.
The Sale
Step 1 – Preparing the home and advertising
Upon setting a date for the sale, we will begin staging the home. Our goal is to optimize placement and viewing of items to provide an enjoyable shopping experience for patrons of the sale. We bring the tables, the muscle and the knowledge to make this a stress free process for the owners. We research and price all items fairly and appropriately prior to the sale. We also take care of all the advertising, including estatesales.org, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and professional sign placement on the day of sale and pictures for various websites.
Step 2 – Sale day
Once set up, pricing and advertising are complete, we run a 2 day sale on Saturday and Sunday at a date agreed upon by all parties. We have trained and friendly staff throughout the estate to provide security and answer any questions patrons may have in order to guarantee all who enter have a first rate experience.
Step 3 – Clean out (if this option is chosen)
Approximately 10-25% of the items will be remaining at the end of Day 2. Owners may choose to dispose of these items themselves or Tallulah & Stella’s offers a clean out service in order to box, haul and donate all goods to local charities.
Step 4 – Payment
Within 10 days of the sale, Tallulah & Stella’s will provide you with a check and a receipt of all items sold. That’s it! You collect the check and all stress has been alleviated.
