Staging
The goal of staging is to change the home from a living space to a space more conducive to sales by cleaning out drawers, closets and storage areas, arranging furniture to show it off. Staging will consist of using all available surfaces for display of merchandise. Additional tables, display cases, clothing racks and shelving if needed will be provided from our inventory. We will also identify any areas of safety concerns such as swimming pools, stairs and other possible safety concerns. In the case of high value items, jewelry, furs, high end purses and clothes or small items will be moved into security zones so extra protection can be provided.
Pricing
All items values are determined and priced by our staff. Items that may need additional research and or outside expertise, we will contact our partners/experts who specialize in that area for their input. Our clients will be consulted to identify when, where and how much and item costs and any written proof of authenticity.
Notification of Sale to the Public
We will notify our extensive customer base of the sale by using our email system with dates, location, pictures and description. A mass emailing insures our dedicated customers are aware of the sale for their personal knowledge and enjoyment. We also use facebook and Estate Sale Websites, locally and nationally to insure as wide as possible notification of the upcoming sale. On the day of the sale signs will be posted in the area to insure the most participation as possible. (Local rules or regulations may restrict signage.) Along with our dedicated customers, antique and art dealers, your neighbors are a significant part of any sales success. As such we hand out flyers in the neighborhood in the days leading up to the sale. This will also prepare them for any additional traffic the sale may generate.
