WHAT YOU SHOULD EXPECT FROM HELPING HAND
Helping Hand Estate Sale Service is here to help you during your time of need. We are a "one-stop-shop" offering a broad range of services that will assist you with your estate sale. The expertise of our specialized team ranges from merchandising, antique assessment and pricing, to advertising placement, special event set-up, logistics and sales.
Helping Hand takes great pride in honest communication and specialized needs assessment. We understand that “time is of the essence” and, therefore, quickly evaluate your items to determine if our service will be beneficial to you. In our eyes, we see everything as valuable including any special requests you might have that are specific to your estate. We will come prepared with a realistic retail value appraiser, antique reference guides and all necessary resources to ensure your confidence in a fast, accurate and professional service.
During our initial free estimate, we determine how long it will take to prepare for the sale and can answer any general questions that might arise. Family members must decide what they want from the estate before the estimate takes place so that we can provide you with an accurate assessment figure for your estate’s market value.
We will be fully responsible for coordinating and staffing the sale. This includes merchandising/item organization, and display so that there is a clean and welcoming sales environment for your potential buyers. It is very important that the home be both orderly and “fresh” for the duration of the sale. We will employ additional staff and security on an as needed basis. We will make arrangements for all publicity outreach including placing ads in local/community newspapers, designing fliers, and utilizing our exclusive proprietary database of antique dealers and private collectors giving your estate maximum visibility.
What Happens After The Sale Is Over?
Items that are not sold will go to the family or be donated your charity of choice for a full tax write off, which we will also provide. Most importantly you will take comfort in our primary goal; to facilitate your estate sale preferences. The employees that work at the
sale will be paid from the estate at the end of the sale and a detailed/itemized receipt will be provided at that time. At the conclusion of our business together, all profits will be tallied, recorded and reported to the designated “head of the household,” at which point any remaining balance owed will be settled in cash on site. 30% of the total revenue for the sale will go to HHESS as payment for services.
