How to Get Started
Don't Throw Anything Away!
Make us your first call. Before you sort and begin throwing or giving away items in the home, allow us to provide you with a FREE PERSONAL CONSULTATION visit. Call Southern Charm at 678-571-3563. We can provide you with professional advice on the value of items in your home. Our calendar is typically booked weeks in advance, so please call us even if you are only "thinking" about hosting an Estate Sale.
Discuss Dates and Terms of the Estate Sale
Once the scope of the Estate Sale is understood, we will discuss the dates and terms of the actual sale. We have a standard contract that we will modify to suit your situation.
Stage Your Home and Price
At this step, clean your home, gather items from closets, basements, and attics, and stage them according to our Display Standard guidelines. We distinguish our services from those of other estate companies through our professional displays. This is your home, and we want to make it a showcase. We carefully research the value of items and price them to bring you the most value.
Advertising
We handle all advertising for your Estate Sale. We post your sale information to the industry leading EstateSales.net website, social media sites, and send notices to our Email List. Our Estate Sales typically attract 400 - 600 shoppers. On sale days we will post neighborhood signage directing shoppers to your home. For safety purposes we will also post "No Parking" signs to avoid people parking on both sides of the street .
Estate Sale Days
Our estate sales typically start on Friday and run through Sunday. During those days we will provide full service support. Our staff will support shoppers and continually re-stage items in your home to ensure your home remains a showcase. We collect and remit all applicable sales tax.
Finalize the Estate Sale
At the conclusion of the Estate Sale, we will provide you a financial settlement based on the terms of the contract. We will remove all our display materials. If you selected our optional Full House Clean-out (recommended), unsold items will be removed from your home. In the end, you will have an empty "move in ready" home and a check in your hand.
