FAQ'S

Southfork Estate Sales operates on a commission only basis. Therefore, our fees are deducted after the sale is over.

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.

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.

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.
