Sales Information
The secondary sales market is currently very dynamic with a large proportion of articles entering the marketplace due to active changes in population demographics – more and more people are downsizing and moving into smaller residences as the tail end of the baby boom generation winds down.
It is vitally important to position articles at a sale venue where the maximum return will be achieved. When it comes time to sell those articles that you no longer require, or if you are an executor or estate administrator entrusted with an estate, we offer several options for the sale of personal property.
Live Auctions
Auction sales have been a traditional mainstay of selling personal property for many centuries. Auctions create a momentum and sense of urgency and offer rapid liquidity and capitalization of property.Our auctions are either single estates or multiple consignors. They vary in caliber from general household to high end specialty and theme based sales.
We have a strong and solid client base that regularly attend our sales. An extensive advertising, marketing and promotion campaign utilising state of the art technology insures that we have a broad base appeal and the right blend of potential purchasers attending our venues – a critical component to achieving fair market value at sale.
Residential Estate Tag Sales
Hosting an estate sale at a client’s residence is a unique alternative offered through our business. If a large portion of the household must be sold, a sale at a client’s residence is a cost effective option for consideration. A sale hosted in the residence will save time, cartage expense, and will provide a setting to showcase articles in their home environment. Our comprehensive and personalized services for a venue such as this include marketing, advertising, sale set up, staffing, hosting, and final sales reconciliation.
Private Treaty Sales
A private treaty or negotiated sale is a preferred option for the sale of high quality, unusual, case sensitive or niche specific property. It is also an important and viable alternative for those that require discretion and confidentiality in conducting the sale of personal property.
A longer selling period allows the potential purchaser valuable time to research and thoroughly inspect the property before submitting an offer for consideration. A longer selling period allows the seller time to consider various offers to best maximize the return on the sale of property.
