Estate Sales
Whether you
are the executor of an estate, responsible for liquidation of the contents of a
relative's home, or you find it necessary to downsize your personal property due
to retirement, relocation, divorce, or the combination of two households, you
may be overwhelmed by the decisions you face. Many people do not realize the
amount of work it takes to properly handle important experiences such as these.
Great Expectations Auction Company, LLC offers counsel in making these
difficult choices of estate liquidation, and handling the sale of such items in
a timely and dignified manner. There are several options when liquidating an
estate. In some instances we will come in a purchase the entire estate so that
you will not have to go through the difficulty of handling details of the
liquidation. We also offer Estate Tag Sales, where we will hold a sale on
location and price everything prior to the sale.
Some estates may
include collections or items that require special handling, in which we will
contact private buyers. We will make sure, through our contacts, and business
experience, that we locate the best avenue to liquidate your items so that the
maximum value is realized. We have a wonderful staff of professionals with years
of experience in their areas of expertise, ranging from antiques, collectibles,
antique automobiles, business management, real estate, guns and firearms, and so
much more.

Frequently
Asked Questions:
1. What do I need to do before
calling Great Expectations Auction Company?
You do not need to
do anything. We do not recommend disposing of anything in the household, because
often times people do not realize the value of many items. We will be happy to
take care of everything for you, even donating or properly disposing of
unwanted, clothing, personal effects, cleaning supplies, chemicals, toiletries,
and everything else.
2. What about my family members that want
items from the Estate?
We can help you to determine the most
equitable way to distribute valuable items to family members and or charities.
We have a large network of service providers that we use and we will be happy to
help you organize shipping, moving, and delivering of these items.
3. Who will be there at the sale to secure my
estate?
We have a large team of experienced and qualified
individuals to supervise and assist the customers. We will decide prior to the
sale how many people are needed for the event. We will make sure plenty of
people are on staff to keep people out of restricted areas and to make sure all
items are paid for.
4. How will you price the items and keep
track of them?
In most cases all items will be priced before
the sale with a tag or sticker. We also keep an inventory sheet so that you know
which items sold for what amount at the end of the sale.
5. What
about Collections that are very valuable and not suited for sale at an Estate
Sale?
We have numerous industry contacts for private buyers and
auctions that we will discuss with you prior to the sale and you will have the
option to decide which venue you would prefer to use.
6. What if
we can not have an estate sale on the premises of my estate?
In
some cases, where people are in communities that do not allow Estate Sales or if
you simply prefer to not have the sale on your premises, there are a few other
options. We can either purchase the estate outright, we can rent a local venue,
such as a community hall, or we can hold an auction sale on our premises.
7. What about advertising of the Sale?
We will
handle the word of mouth and industry advertising, including our dealers, and
customer lists. We will also distribute flyers to the appropriate venues and
provide signage the day of the sale. You will be responsible for the cost of
advertising in any local newspapers or publications, but we will be happy to
handle the designing and ordering of these ads, and recommending which
publications would be best suited.
8. What happens when the sale
is over?
We will completely clean out the premises to your
specifications and handle the remaining items. We will usually have a complete
inventory and reconciliation sheet, along with your check within a few days.
9. What experience do you have working with
Estates?
The team that I work with has over 85 years of combined
experience working with antiques, art, collectibles and uniquities. We have
handled numerous Estates and have vast experience handling Estates, Auctions,
Business Liquidations, Real Estate Liquidation, Personal and Business
