Mission Statement:  Personal, professional, and positive assistance with estate liquidation.

Our Process

  • Unpack

    The first step in preparing a house for an estate sale is to get everything out of the cabinets, closets, drawers, and any other nooks and crannies.

  • Sort and Super Sort

    Once everything has become accessible, then we begin the sorting process. Our favorite Kindergarten skill put into practice! We combine all like items and determine the best spot in the home to display. Then we proceed to do our “super sort” which further sorts the grouping to it’s best display potenial.

  • Clean and Display (aka "FOO FOO")

    After locating the destination for each grouping, we then clean any items that need a touch up and arrange each area for its optimal exposure…also known as “FOO FOOING”.

  • Research and Price

    We do our due diligence in researching valued items to ensue that we are getting the most money per item for our clients. Sometimes we consult experts when we have questions regarding certain treasures. Our pricing process is based off of that research and experience in the estate sale business.

  • Advertise

    Now we get the word out to our followers via neighborhood signs directing potential buyers to the sale, send email invites to customers on our email list, post on Craigslist, post on our Facebook page, and inform customers of the “next” sale at our checkout table.

  • Conduct Pre-Sales and A Two Day Estate Sale

    When some sales have specialty items, or a large volume of goodies, we will often conduct “pre-sales” before the actual sale day. This gives anyone the opportunity, on a first come first served basis, to hop into an appointment spot to purchase items before everything is open to the public.

    The next step in the process is to host a two day estate sale that usually falls on a Friday and Saturday from 8:00 AM-3:00 PM.

Additional Services

  • For an additional expense, support and help with preparing for the Simplify Team to begin the Estate Sale process can be provided...sorting and packing personal items to be removed, light cleaning and home staging for Estate Sale.

  • Simplify Estate Sales endeavors to provide a clean environment in order to display sale items and create an inviting space for customers to shop. It is the client's responsibility to have the premises ready for the Simplify Team to begin the estate sale process. If the Simplify Team determines that this has not been completed prior to taking over, then an additional charge will be assessed. This may look like sweeping, wiping walls, dusting, and rearranging for optimum shopping flow.

  • When the sale has concluded, Simplify Estate Sales offers the client at an additional fee, a cleanout of the unsold items. The Simplify Team works with various organizations and non-profit businesses to pass along any remaining items as a donation. This would offer the client an empty home at the end of the sale.
