Benefits
The benefits you receive from hiring our company go beyond selective advertising, crowd control, and negotiations. Depending on the size of the sale, we may staff it with as few as 3 or as many as 10 people.
Our staff has extensive knowledge and many are experts in various fields. Some of our staff may move furniture, show valuables in locked cases, or provide other general assistance. All of our staff have spent years in sales, and truly build strong customer relationships.
Integrity
We have many safeguards built into our business practices to help avoid shoplifting and tag switching. Pricing is done by experienced professionals with the objective of maximizing sales revenue and liquidating as much of the contents as possible. It usually takes us 2-3 weeks to set up and price a sale.
During this time, all contents of the estate are researched and inspected and every item is priced. Your valuables are cleaned and displayed on tables, shelves, and/or locked showcases. We take great care in preparing and presenting your estate to make each item as desirable as possible and making the sale reach its full potential.
