Our team will meet with you to assess your situation. After clearly explaining the process, we will go over our contract and set up a timeline that works for you and your estate. We will answer any and all questions and will be available for updates through the entire process.
Our process begins with sorting through sellable items, cleaning, photographing, and displaying your treasures. We take care of all of the work and will dispose of any trash while preserving personal information such as tax records or family photos.
Once the estate is sorted and staged we begin pricing the entire contents of the house. In addition to years of experience, our expert employees use all available appraisal tools for pricing your items. In the event that we cannot find specific information on a piece we will tap into our large base of accredited appraisers for assistance.
Gold Coast utilizes the latest in point of sale and inventory tracking technology and can accept both cash and card. We advertise locally, on all estate sale outlets, social media, neighborhood signs, and we utilize community-based marketing so that everyone from the professional collector and reseller to the casual weekend shopper will know about your sale.
We have on-site security and emphasize safety for all of our employees and customers entering the home. Gold Coast is fully licensed, bonded and insured.
After the sale is completed all left over items are donated or handled according to your instructions. Once the home is emptied it is then left broom swept and the key is returned to you. Gold Coast Estate Sales uses a point of sale system which allows for an accurate final accounting statement. Within 5 business days, a certified check or money order will be sent to the client.
Gold Coast has worked with dozens of different service providers over the years. If we can’t help with your particular situation then we know someone who can and would love to connect you to them!
Helping people is our business and we look forward to helping you!
