1. What exactly do you do?

We provide full-service estate liquidation — including on-site estate sales, online auctions for valuable items, and complete home clear-outs. We handle everything from organizing and pricing to donating or disposing of unsold items.

2. How do I know if I need an estate sale or an auction?

We’ll guide you! Some homes are best suited for a traditional estate sale, while others benefit from an online auction — especially for collectibles, art, or specialty items. Often, we do both. During our free consultation, we’ll recommend the best option based on your items, goals, and timeline.

3. What happens to the items that don’t sell?

We offer several options:

  • Donate to a nonprofit from our list of trusted partners (in your name or your loved one’s)

  • Dispose of unsellable or damaged items responsibly

  • Store or return items if requested

We aim to keep as much out of the landfill as possible.

4. How do you price items?

We use our experience, current market trends, and research to price items competitively. We want to ensure items sell while still bringing in strong value for you.

5. How long does the process take?

Each project varies based on the size of the home and amount of inventory. Typically, it takes 1–2 weeks from start to finish, including setup, sale/auction, and clear-out.

6. How much does it cost?

We work on a commission basis for sales and auctions, and offer flat-rate or hourly pricing for clear-out services. Everything is clearly outlined in our proposal — no hidden fees.

7. Are you insured?

Yes! Estate Busters is fully bonded and insured, giving you peace of mind that your property and belongings are protected throughout the entire process.

8. Do I need to clean or organize before you come?

No need! Please don’t throw anything away before we take a look — you’d be surprised what has value. We handle all sorting, staging, and cleanup.

9. Do you work with realtors or families managing estates remotely?

Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with real estate agents, attorneys, and out-of-town families. We can provide photo updates, video walkthroughs, and digital communications to make remote management simple.

10. How do I get started?

Just reach out! We offer a free consultation to walk through your home, answer your questions, and build a plan that fits your needs.
