At Total Estate, every estate sale is customized to the needs of the estate. While many sales are held over multiple days, the size, duration, and overall approach vary based on the home, the contents, and the goals of the family. No two estates are exactly the same, which is why we begin every project with a free, discreet consultation to determine the best strategy for your specific situation.
Once you decide to move forward, we schedule the sale and begin preparing the home for maximum exposure. Each estate sale is professionally marketed through multiple channels, including local print advertising, social media, online classified platforms, and EstateSales.net, ensuring strong attendance and motivated buyers. Our experienced team handles all pricing, staging, and display, often uncovering value in overlooked or forgotten items.
We are truly full-service, meaning families don’t have to lift a finger. From start to finish, we manage the entire estate liquidation process with the goal of reducing stress and maximizing value. After the sale is complete, the home is left completely empty and clean, allowing families to move forward without added burden.
Our focus is simple: maximize the value of the estate while delivering a smooth, professional, and stress-free experience.
No out-of-pocket costs—ever. We are compensated solely through a commission on the sales we generate during your estate sale. This structure fully aligns our interests with yours: the more value we create for your estate, the better the outcome for everyone involved.
Unlike many estate sale companies that charge upfront fees or pass along expenses simply to hold a sale, Total Estate charges only a commission. This ensures your family’s proceeds are maximized, with no hidden costs or surprise charges.
To determine the appropriate commission rate, we begin with a free, one-hour walkthrough of the home. This allows us to assess the scope of the estate, the time and resources required, and to provide a clear estimate. During this visit, we also explain the estate sale process in detail and answer any questions you may have.
