Questions We Commonly Get for Estate Sales
-
An estate sale is a way to sell the belongings of an individual, family, or estate, with the help of a professional company like Estate Sales by Debi. These sales usually happen when a home has a large number of items to be sold, which can occur after a move, downsizing, divorce, bankruptcy, or the passing of a loved one. The process is carefully managed to organize the home, display items attractively, and ensure they are sold at fair value.
Estate sales are open to the public and are typically held on Thursday-Saturday. The team at Estate Sales by Debi handles every step: organizing and staging the home, pricing items, and promoting the sale. Over the course of two or three days, the public is invited to shop directly in the home.

No, you don’t need to pay anything upfront. Our fee is based on the commission of the items sold.

Identify your items: Decide which belongings you want to include in the sale and which you want to keep. After that, you can contact Estate Sales by Debi to schedule a consultation.
Don’t discard anything: Avoid throwing items away. The team will review everything and determine what can be sold, donated, recycled, or discarded.
Hold off on giving items to others: Try not to sell or give items to friends or neighbors before the sale. Many of these items may appeal to buyers, and keeping them for the sale can help attract more attendees.
