Beautifully staging items within the home to entice buyers: providing everything needed to professionally display items including tables, table coverings, lighting, clothing racks, risers and jewelry display. We fully skirt our tables in beautiful fabric and use vintage display pieces, giving the sale a charming yet upscale look.

Signage: capturing local traffic with thoughtfully placed signage. Our signs are distinctive and well-recognized all over the Chicagoland area!

Estate sale helpers: preparing for and conducting the sale with honest, experienced, mature, hard-working helpers

Cheerfully accepting credit cards (VISA, MasterCard, Discover Card, American Express) and personal checks as well as Apple Pay, Android Pay and PayPal, never imposing dollar amount limits on customers or charging customers extra fees

Providing after the sale recommendations for removal of unsold items (or this can be coordinated for you if needed:) Charity groups who not only pick up, but pack up unsold items within the home and provide a tax-deductible receipt at no charge to you. Clear out services who remove all desired items from the home and leave the premises broom-swept. Clear out with professional cleaning services who additionally vacuum/mop floors, clean countertops and bathrooms.

Prompt payment of sales proceeds and detailed report of sales results: we do not just hand you cash after the sale. A comprehensive estate sale package is sent electronically which includes a report with EVERY item sold accounted for regardless of price and a report summarizing the results of the sale so you can feel confident the sale has been conducted in an above-board manner.
