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 also offer our famous 1 day blowout sales on Fridays. These sales are smaller and can be accomplished in 1 day. 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 the sale. Owners may choose to dispose of these items themselves or Tallulah & Stella’s partners with several local charities that will come into the home to decrease the clean out burden and take items for their respective charities and thrift stores. Tallulah & Stella’s contracts with a clean out (Optional) service to remove all remaining items from the home.

Step 4 – Residential Clean (Optional)

Once the home is empty, Tallulah & Stella’s contracts with a local residential cleaner to get your home ship shape for showings. This is offered for an additional fee and optional.

Step 5 – Payment

Within 10 days of the sale completion, Tallulah & Stella’s will provide a detailed list of all items sold over $10, your check, and self addressed stamped envelopes for clean out and residential clean (if these services are chosen.)
