Testimonials

  • "We had tremendous success while working with Joann. After the quick sale on our home, we had very little time to get rid of our furniture and household items. Joann sold nearly everything for more than we expected... She also arranged for a charity to pick up the remaining items which was a huge relief to us. Throughout the process, she was responsive to questions and provided great advice. Not sure how we would have prepared the home to close without her help. I highly recommend."

  • "Wow. Just Wow. Joann is a total pro at her work. Our family feels blessed to have had her expertise to help us through a very challenging transition. Joann was efficient, gracious, flexible, patient and fair. I would highly recommend her services to any and all."

  • "I would highly recommend Joann and her team for handling your family's a state sale. She came highly recommended to me and exceeded my expectations in ALL areas. First of all she was very kind and caring during this very challenging time for me with the recent passing of my mother and having to move my father into an assisted living facility. She was also incredibly responsive whether it was meeting me personally at my parent’s home or sharing frequent updates through text messages which I sincerely appreciated. She and her team did an amazing job staging my parents things within their house. She clearly has a gift and an eye for how to present items in their best light to maximize their sale value. I could go on, but in short I would highly recommend Joanne and her team!"

FAQs

  • Many people may show up to a sale, but not everyone can fit inside the house at the same time.

    Entry may be controlled by a numbered sign-up sheet by the door or we may hand out street numbers. Street Numbers are numbered pieces of paper given out early on the first day to the people waiting in line. This is both a courtesy so that people may wait in their vehicles, out of weather, until the posted start time, and a way to prevent a stampede for the door when the sale begins.

    Visitors are admitted to the house according to their numbered order. As some people leave, the next numbers are called and admitted. This way we can manage the flow of traffic inside the house.

  • We work on multiple sales at once, so on any given day we could be handling and pricing hundreds of items. There is no way we can memorize the prices to answer inquiries on Facebook or in messages. We wish we could. We realize that it would be helpful to customers who might have a long drive to a sale. Unfortunately, it is just not practical for our operation.

  • We do accept credit cards. There is a $20 minimum and a 3% service charge to offset the costs that we pay. We also accept cash and local checks up to $200.
