Questions

Estate Sales Phoenix

WHO NEEDS AN ESTATE SALE ?  
Anyone downsizing, relocating, moving out-of-state, or liquidating a loved ones household.  No antiques or collectibles?  That’s okay.   Everyday practical household items are also very popular.  Everyone loves a good sale.  You may be surprised at what will sell.

DO I HAVE ENOUGH ITEMS FOR AN ESTATE SALE ?
When we come out to evaluate what is in the estate, we can let you know then. We also offer a buy out service where we will give you a one price offer for everything left in the estate and move the entire contents.

HOW CAN CITY WIDE ESTATE SALES HELP ?  
City Wide Estate Sales offers years of experience liquidating the contents of estates, including antiques and collectibles, contemporary and used furniture, clothing, artwork, jewelry, toys, tools, appliances, garden equipment, vehicles and more.   Our team has over 60 years of combined experience with antiques and collectibles.

WHERE DO YOU CONDUCT YOUR SALES?
We conduct sales throughout the Phoenix, Tucson, Prescott, Sedona and Flagstaff areas.  We have also conducted select sales in Southern California. Time permitting, we can conduct an out of state sale, however please keep in mind that travel expenses will apply.

HOW DOES THIS WORK?
City Wide Estate Sales provides all of the resources needed to sort, organize, attractively display, research, price, advertise and sell the contents of an estate.  We work with you, the client, and the sale customers to provide an enjoyable, secure and profitable sale experience for all parties.  Typically we start working in the home 7 – 14  days prior to the actual sale event, depending on the amount of work that needs to be done.  We bring in tables, displays and any additional items needed for set up.  We provide exceptional attention to detail.  We offer many years of experience and creative solutions for all of our clients.

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO I NEED TO BOOK AN ESTATE SALE?
From October through May our weekends fill up very quickly.  We recommend 3 to 6 weeks advance notice during these months.  Our summer months tend to be a little slower and we typically need 2 to 4 weeks notice.

WHEN IS A GOOD TIME TO HAVE AN ESTATE SALE?
Our customers attend estate sales all year, so any month is a great time for a sale!  The best days for sales are Thursday through Saturday.   Please keep in mind that summer sales are also VERY successful, as there are fewer sales and customers like to shop year round!

WHAT IS YOUR COMMISSION?
City Wide Estate Sales charges commission on the gross sales.  Commission fees come out of sale proceeds.  We do not charge any upfront fees!  We do not charge you for newspaper advertising! Our commission depends on many factors and we would need to view what is inside of the house to determine what the rate would be.

WHAT KIND OF ITEMS DO YOU SELL?
Furniture, clothing, tools, appliances, jewelry, artwork, antiques, collectibles, garden equipment, vehicles and almost any household item.   Antiques and Collectibles are evaluated and priced accordingly!  Do not donate or throw anything away prior to our evaluation – something that seems like junk to you may be a treasure to someone else.

WHAT KIND OF ADVERTISING DO YOU DO?
City Wide Estate Sales utilizes the latest in Internet Advertising, including photos, maps, e-mail and directions which brings in interest from a broader base.  We write and place all newspaper advertising and send out an e-mail notification to our subscriber list which numbers in the thousands.  Additionally, we post highly visible, professionally printed Estate Sale Phoenix signs leading the way to your sale from every major area intersection.  Our goal is to bring motivated buyers to your sale!

DO YOU SELL EVERYTHING?
Based on our past performance, we consistently sale 100% of the household contents.  After the sale, we can donate to a charitable organization all left over items or leave them for you to decide what to do with. The charitable organization will provide you with a tax deductible receipt.
