- Why do people use our services?
- There can be any number of reasons to use our services: The passing away of a loved one, downsizing, and a move into assisted living, moving out of town or out of state, and not taking much to the new home, the need to empty a house of all contents in order to prepare it for sale, or the desire to turn a collection into cash.
- What services do you provide?
- Estate Sales, Moving Sales, Downsizing, Liquidation Sales
- How do I know which service is right for me?
- We conduct a free on site visit. Once we can see what the house contains, we will offer the best option for your situation.
- The house is in Southern MN, but I live states away. Can you handle this?
- We handle this all the time. We can work with you over the phone, email or letter.
- I have valuable items: Should I call a dealer to buy those items before you?
- NO! Dealers make money by buying cheap and selling high. By keeping valuable items for the sale, we attract a much larger crowd to the sale and you will make more money.
- There seems to be so much junk in the house. Should I throw that away before I call you?
- Don’t throw out a single thing before we come to see the house. There is a lot of “junk” that is actually valuable. Our team of experts can and will identify the good stuff. Leave it to us!
- What happens to anything left after the sale is over?
- After a sale, we can arrange for someone to purchase all left over items, schedule a charity pick up or dispose of what’s left over.
- Do you typically sell everything in my sale?
- Although no estate sale service can claim to sell 100%, throughout the sale we typically sell between 80-95% of your selected items.
- For some of my pieces, can I set the lowest price at which I am willing to sell them?
- Of course! Joy’s Estate Sales & More understand that there is a price point at which you would rather keep your item than sell it. For any of your items you can establish a minimum price which we will not go below in order to sell it.
- What is your commission?
- We charge a percentage of the gross sales or a mutually agreed upon fee.
