Who Needs An Estate Sale?
Anyone downsizing, relocating, moving out-of-state, or liquidating a
loved ones household. No antiques or collectibles? That's okay.
Everyday practical household items are also very popular. Everyone
loves a good sale. You may be surprised at what will sell....
How Can City Wide Estate Sales Help?
City Wide Estate Sales offers years of experience liquidating the
contents of estates, including antiques and collectibles, contemporary
and used furniture, clothing, artwork, jewelry, toys, tools, appliances,
garden equipment and more. Our team has over 56 years of combined
experience with antiques and collectibles.
Where Do You Conduct Your Sales?
We conduct sales throughout the Phoenix, Tucson, Prescott and
Flagstaff areas. We have also conducted select sales in Southern
California. Occasionally we are asked to conduct an out of state sale.
Time permitting, we can conduct an out of state sale, however please
keep in mind that travel expenses will apply.
How Does This Work?
City Wide Estate Sales provides all of the resources needed to sort,
organize attractively, display, research, price, advertise and sell the
contents of an estate. We work with you, the client, and the sale
customers to provide an enjoyable, secure and profitable sale
experience for all parties. Typically we start working in the home 5 - 7
days prior to the actual sale event, depending on the amount of work
that needs to be done. We bring in tables, displays and any additional
items needed for set up. We provide exceptional attention to detail. We
offer many years of experience and creative solutions for all of our
clients.
How Far In Advance Do I Need To Book An Estate Sale?
From October through May our weekends fill up very quickly. We
recommend 2 to 4 weeks advance notice during these months. Our
summer months tend to be a little slower and we typically need 1 to 3
weeks notice.
When Is A Good Time To Have An Estate Sale?
Our customers attend estate sales all year, so any month is a great time
for a sale! The best days for sales are Thursday through Saturday.
Please keep in mind that summer sales are also VERY successful, as
there are fewer sales and customers like to shop year round!
What Is Your Commission?
City Wide Estate Sales charges 30% to 40% commission of the gross
sales. Commission fees come out of sale proceeds. We do not charge
any upfront fees! We do not charge you for newspaper advertising!
What Kind Of Items Do You Sell?
Furniture, clothing, tools, appliances, jewelry, artwork, antiques,
collectibles, garden equipment and almost any household item.
Antiques and Collectibles are evaluated and priced accordingly! Do
not throw anything away prior to our evaluation - something that
seems like junk to you may be a treasure to someone else.
What Advertising Do You Do?
City Wide Estate Sales utilizes the latest in Internet Advertising,
including photos, maps, e-mail and directions which brings in interest
from a broader base. We write and place all newspaper advertising
and send out an e-mail notification to our subscriber list which
numbers in the thousands. Additionally, we post highly visible,
professionally printed Estate Sale signs leading the way to your sale
from every major area intersection. Our goal is to bring motivated
buyers to your sale!
Do You Sell Everything?
Based on our past performance, we consistently sale between 80% to
90% of the household contents. After the sale, we have a charitable
organization that will come to the house and pick-up all left over items.
This organization will provide you with a tax deductible receipt.
