FAQ'S
How long is the process?
Depending on the size of the estate, we ask for a minimum of 2 weeks. Every home is unique and will need special consideration and scheduling. This will be discussed at your no-charge consultation and evaluation.
Do I need to pay you upfront?
Southfork Estate Sales operates on a commission only basis. Therefore, our fees are deducted after the sale is over.
How do I prepare?
The first step will be to pick the optimal date for your sale based on your time and needs. Second, is to remove or isolate any and all items that are not for sale. Lastly, relax! We will take it from here.
What happens to things that didn't sell?
Our highest priority is to liquidate every item of your estate. However, there usually are items left over after the end of every sale. These are still your items and we can advise you with several options to help make this entire process easier for your family.
When do I receive my money from the sale?
We know you have expenses and want to receive your proceeds as soon as possible. Southfork will provide a written summary of the sale and a check of the net proceeds no more than 10 business days following the sale.
What is your rate?
Other estate sale company rates can be as high as 50% of the total proceeds. Southfork Estate Sales fees are as low as 35% and are discussed at the FREE initial consultation. Automobiles are calculated separately with a 10% commission of the sale price.
