Mission Statement
“Every client and every situation is different and that’s where we thrive. Our team handles the entire process from beginning to end. We organize, stage, price, and advertise the sale to ensure a well-attended event that maximizes proceeds for our clients.”
“We understand that one’s lifetime possessions should be treated with respect, integrity, honesty, and empathy”
Our Process:
It'll be sunny (we hope)! Temp 2133.
We will come to you and work out what is the best solution for your unique situation. Every estate sale is different, so our service is tailored to you.
We take inventory, before and after photos, set up, stage, price, arrange for professional appraisals and advertise all items in the estate sale. We set up every home for success.
Over the course of the weekend our team runs the sale from start to finish. We put out plenty of signs in the local area and utilize social media all weekend to drive traffic to the sales.
After the sale, you will get the full report of the sale totals and a list of high-end transactions and what they sold for. We also offer to coordinate all cleanup and post-sale services, so you don’t have to lift a finger if you choose that option.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Where do we begin?
The first step is to have us come out and do a walkthrough with you. You can schedule that consultation here. At our meeting, we will discuss what you need and walk through the house with you and come up with the best plan for your estate sale. At that point, we will also talk about dates and your timeline and show you our entire process from start to finish.
How far in advance should I call you?
We would like you to call as soon as you believe you might need our services. We often have sales lined up for several weeks in advance but by calling as soon as you are aware of your needs, we may be able to fit you in at the last minute.
How long does the process take?
Our estate sale process is usually 1-2 weeks from start to finish! There is the occasional project that can take weeks to get set up and organized and our team is set up to be able to handle simple to complex projects.
Do I have enough for an estate sale?
That’s a great question. You can give us a call at 520-409-9240 and we can talk through your situation, and we can help see if you have enough to have an estate sale!
What will it cost me for Santa Catalina Estate Sales to execute my estate sale?
There is no upfront or out-of-pocket expense for you. We charge a percentage of total sales (60%-40%) and simply deduct that from the proceeds at the end of the sale.
Should we donate all the old clothes, towels, linens and sheets?
While that is charitable, these items are completely sellable at an estate sale and bring in additional profits to benefit the sale. Please refrain from discarding or donating any items within the home as these donations can be made after the estate sale.
If you feel that you must discard or donate any items, please contact us to receive a professional opinion to make sure the item is not of high value. We would be happy to help!
