Estate Sales
The Graves Sisters can plan, prepare and conduct a successful, profitable Estate Sale for you.

Our service entails the following activities:
- Inventory large items such as furniture, appliances, automobile, clothing
- Sort, identify and organize items according to perceived value
- Price and tag items
- Arrange and display contents
- Photograph items to be used in internet marketing
- Broker furniture, books, art, various collections, and other appropriate items to individuals, dealers, E-bay sales, etc. on an on-going basis leading up to the actual estate sale
- Arrange advertising via local media, internet and email
- Conduct a two day estate sale on the premises
- Post professional signage at nearby intersections and in front of the property (as allowed)
- Furnish friendly and knowledgeable team members to greet buyers, answer questions and provide security as well as crowd control during the sale
- Identify unsold items for charity donations
- Arrange for delivery/pick-up of donated items
- Acquire receipts for donations
- Remove materials for landfill or recycling
- Arrange total clean-out of the premises
The sale will be advertised in local newspapers, email announcements to our contact list, and an on-line estate sale listing website. On the day of the sale, we will post professional signage at nearby intersections and in front of the property (as allowed.) The Graves Sisters’ friendly and knowledgeable team members will be available during the sale to answer questions and provide security and crowd control.
We suggest that you dispose all food, canned goods, old toiletry items like shampoo and half open bottles of household cleaning products. Hold on to perfume bottles, old toys, clothes, photos, etc. People collect a lot of things these days and sometimes these items can be sold.
