Services – Resolution Estate Sales

Estate Sales, Down Sizing and Clean Outs

At some point you may need the services of a professional liquidator, someone who has the experience and knowledge to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Resolution Estate Sales will work with you and tailor our services to meet your needs. Whether it is a full estate sale or maybe you just want to downsize, we will work hard to make your sale a success.

There are other times when a property, storage locker or other space needs to be emptied. We will arrange for a dumpster, remove the unwanted items and leave the premises broom swept and ready for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do you charge for consultations?
A: All consultations are free.

Q: Do I need to pay you upfront for the Sale?
A: No, we are a commission based company.

Q: Are there any extra fees?
A: Yes. If we are dealing with a house where set-up or clean-out hours will far exceed the norm there will be a charge for that. Such as a “hoarder” house that takes a lot of time and dumpsters before we could even begin set up. We will tell you if this is the case during our initial consultation.

Q: Should I clean things out to get ready for you?
A: You don’t need to throw anything away. We actually prefer that you don’t, we will sort all the items.

Q: How do I collect payment?
A: After the sale, within 10 business days, you will receive a check for the proceeds of the sale minus our commission.

Q. What about the leftover items at the end?

A. We can manage the clean out for you. We charge a flat rate for the actual clean-out costs and dumpster rental or trash yardage fees. If the family prefers to handle this themselves, we’ll give you a list of helpful resources for donation and liquidations.

Q: How will you promote our sale?
A: We will promote your sale online, email blasts, flyers.

Q: I live out of state do I have to be here for the sale?
A: You don’t have to be, you can send us keys from out of state. We can meet with your realtor, a relative or someone local that can show us around the house the first time and show us the lights, thermostat controls, and such. If there are things the family is keeping, someone needs to deal with those first, but there is no need for anyone to be there while we are working or during the actual sale. We will sort out and set aside all personal paperwork, photographs, etc. for the family to take care of after the sale. We will work directly with your estate lawyer or realtor.

Q. Are you insured?

A. Yes, we are insured for business liability. You also will need to have homeowner’s insurance in force on the premises during the sale period.

Q. Do you sell guns, cars, boats, etc.?

A. Yes – we can sell these for you. You do need to make sure that the title work is done before the sale so we can offer a clear title to the buyer, since we are acting as your agent for a private sale. We will let you know what paperwork is needed for your situation.
