Estate Sale Services

You shouldn't have to guess whether you got a fair deal.

Handling an estate is hard enough without wondering if the sale was run honestly, priced fairly, or documented at all. Most estate sale companies hand you a check at the end and expect you to trust the number. We don't ask you to trust us. We show you.

How it works:

• We walk the property with you (in person or by video for out-of-town family) and build a plan for every room

• Valuable and specialty items are individually researched and priced; the rest of the house is priced efficiently by category, so pricing stays accurate where it matters most without slowing the whole process down

• The sale runs over one or two days, staffed and supervised start to finish

• You receive an itemized settlement report showing what sold, for how much, and what didn't

• The house is left broom-clean when we're done, so you're not managing a second cleanout

Why families choose Sell Simple:

• Itemized settlement reports. Every sale, every price, every buyer transaction is documented. Nothing is a black box.

• Published discount schedule. You know in advance how markdowns work over the course of the sale. No surprise deals cut behind your back.

• No staff purchases. The people running your sale are not buying your items at a discount before the public gets a chance. That conflict of interest doesn't exist here.

• Broom-clean turnover. When the sale ends, the space is ready to list, ready to hand back to a landlord, or ready to close on. You're not left with leftover furniture and a mess.

• Built for families at a distance. If you're managing this from out of state, we document everything with photos and reporting so you're never in the dark.

Downsizing Support

Moving to something smaller doesn't mean losing control of the process.

Downsizing is a different problem than settling an estate. You're not liquidating everything, you're deciding what comes with you, what gets sold, and what needs to go, often on a timeline set by a closing date or a move-in date somewhere else. It's emotional and logistical at the same time, and most companies treat it like a smaller version of an estate sale. It isn't. It needs its own plan.

How it works:

• We start with a conversation about what's moving with you and what isn't

• We help sort, price, and sell the items you're letting go of, on a schedule that works around your move

• We coordinate around movers, family visits, and closing dates rather than working against them

• You get the same documentation and reporting standard as any Sell Simple job, sized to the scope of the sale

Why families choose Sell Simple for downsizing:

• A process built for a move, not a liquidation. We don't force your downsizing job through the same steps as a full estate sale. The scope is different, so the plan is different.

• Timeline-driven, not sale-driven. Your closing date or move-in date sets the pace. We work backward from it.

• Same standard of documentation, every time. Whether it's a full house or a few rooms, you still get clear records of what sold and what it sold for.

• One point of contact throughout. You're not re-explaining your situation to a different person at every step.

Garage Sale Services

You want the money from a garage sale. You don't want to spend your whole weekend running it.

A good garage sale takes real setup: pricing, staging, signage, and someone who can handle cash and customers for two full days. Most people either burn a weekend doing it themselves or skip it entirely. We handle the parts that take the most time and the most patience, so you get the payoff without giving up your Friday and Saturday.

How it works:

• We come the day before the sale to help price items, stage tables, and organize the space so shoppers can actually browse

• We're on-site both sale days (Friday and Saturday) to help run the sale at your home: greeting shoppers, answering questions, and handling transactions

• You stay involved as much or as little as you want. It's your sale, we're there to make it run smoothly

Our best practices:

• Group like items together and keep pricing visible so shoppers don't have to ask about everything

• Price to sell, not to hold. Items that linger past the first few hours rarely move at full price

• Set up sturdy tables and clear walkways. A cluttered layout is the fastest way to lose a sale

• Post clear signage with times and directions, placed where drivers can actually see it before they pass your street

• Have a simple cash and change plan in place before the first shopper arrives

• Start early. In Phoenix, the best traffic is in the cooler morning hours, especially outside of the peak fall and spring seasons
