ESTATE SALES & LIQUIDATION

Once the valuables have been removed for sale and/or safekeeping, our team of professionals will review and appraise all furniture, appliances, tools, art, decor, collectables, etc. Items are individually cleaned boxed, tagged and prepared for sale. Generally, three days are spent conducting a public Estate Sale right on site. Advertisement of the sale is done via Albuquerque Journal, Website, Email blasts to consistent buyers and dealers and onsite signage in the vicinity of the home. After-sale period ends, all modestly valued remaining items are cleared out the residence. Also removed are non-saleable objects and household debris, leaving the premises “broom clean” in preparation for inspections, having the home on the market, and the real estate closing.

OUR FEE

Our fee for Estate Services is based on a percentage of cash received for the total items sold and includes all expense relating to advertising your estate sales, cleaning, labor, trash removal, moving of all items from the home and any incidental costs. So there is no out-of-pocket expense to you. We move quickly and can handle all types of estates. A Touch of Class Estate Sales is Bonded and Insured.
