Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

The term Tag Sale / Estate Sale generally refers to the sale of personal property, i.e. furniture, appliances, china, books, linens, etc. It differs from a garage sale in that it involves the entire or part of the contents of a household and is held inside the home. Such a sale may be needed after a loved one has passed away, move to an assisted living facility, or a nursing home, downsizing or moving from your current home, divorce, or any other lifestyle change. In such emotional & stressful circumstances, we know how difficult it can be to sort out the entire contents of a home often accumulated throughout a lifetime. It can be even more daunting to decide what to do with everything else after the family has removed items of sentimental value. Often the least stressful alternative is to call in a Tag Sale/Estate Sale team. We are here to help during such times.
