We chose the name Integrity Estate Sales, LLC because we believe integrity is very important in a business.  Even more important when it comes to your loved ones belongings, your belongings and dealing with a difficult situation.

 

Is it time for an estate sale? 

The whole idea can be rather overwhelming.  We understand what you are going through and will do our very best to make the sale process from start to finish as easy as possible for you.   

 

1st Step...Free consultation.  During this meeting we:

·        Discuss your needs and timeline

·        Decide on a date for sale

·        Discuss after sale options

·        Take pictures to begin advertising

 

2nd Step...Sorting and set up process:

·        Discuss your needs and timeline

·        We sort through items in the house

·        Set up is very neat and orderly, displaying items so customers will want to buy, buy, buy!

·        Research items to ensure they are priced just right.

 

3rd Step...The sale:

·        Sufficient staff to cover the sale

·        Comfortable shopping atmosphere

·        Normally sell between 80%-90% of what is in the house

 

4th Step...Payment:

·        You’ll receive a summary sheet of sale totals

·        A check for the proceeds of the sale within 14 days after sale

 

It's that easy!

Remember! Don't throw ANYTHING away! Some of the most valuable items are disguised as junk.  Let us determine what is to be thrown away! 

 

Why hire us?

 

#1 reason....there is no worry, once you hire us, there is nothing for you to do! 

 

We handle....

- Set up of the entire sale (tables, shelving units, display units, smaller easy to pocket items are safely by the register)

 

- Staffing of the sale

 

- Actual handling of the money, bounced check from a customer? That's our problem not yours.  

 

- We accept credit cards.  People tend to spend more money if they can use their debit or credit card!

 

- All advertising from placing ads to website ads to professional estate sale signs.  We run commercials at our sales advertising our upcoming sales!

 

- Customers, the good and the bad!

 

- Any form of bartering, to get you the most for your items

 

- Pricing, you don't have to worry about what to price the merchandise.  Many customer's will offer a family run sale a lot less money for their items than they would offer a company (sorry to any dealers who are reading this, but you know it's true!)

 

- We are bonded and insured!

 

- We get between 200-400 people through a sale each day.

 

- You get peace of mind knowing your sale is run by professionals

 

- We are a Christian based company!

 

- We are known for our honesty and integrity!

 

- We do not have a store, we are not dealers, and we don't do antique shows.  We don't do buy outs at the end of our sales because we feel that is a conflict of interest.

 

- We offer creative, professional solutions to home liquidation.  We can combine estate sales for clients that don't have enough for an estate sale on their own.  This has proven to be a win-win situation.  I use different color price tags to keep the different client's items separated on the cash register.  My theory is the more items in the house the longer people shop, the longer they shop the more they buy!

 

- We suggest that you do some comparison shopping for an estate sale company.  Come to the first day and last day of one of my sales and do the same with another company's sale.  See which house is more empty.  My prices are overall lower and because I sell so much I end up making more money for the client.  I always say it doesn't do the client any good to have a house full of stuff at the end of the sale.  

 

Here are a couple of stories of how families have lost money doing it themselves.

 

- One family sold a pedestal cake plate for $8.00, the piece was valued at $200 or more, I would have priced the piece at $150... Approximate loss $97.00!

 

- One family thought hiring a company wasn't worth the money, they sold a vase worth over $500.00 for $20.00!  Approximate loss $310.00!

 

- I attended a family run sale where the dealers came in and were offering pennies on the dollar to the family, I pulled a family member aside and told them they needed to go way up on their prices.  The family had no idea they were losing so much money.  That family lost hundreds if not thousands of dollars from what I saw get sold, there's no telling what was sold before I arrived.  I can't even begin to estimate the loss of money to that family!

 

- A family sold two end tables were sold for $50 for the pair, they were worth $1000 a piece! 

 

Don't let this happen to you!
