Organization and Display
Two weeks prior to your estate sale, our experienced team will work to organize your possessions into an impactful display designed to draw each customer’s attention to the groups of items that pique their individual interests.
We go through everything from top to bottom to decide which items are best displayed with each other.
As we stage, if we discover items that appear to be sentimental or valuable, we will check with you to ensure that you want these items included in your sale.
Valuation
Our team will extensively research and appraise all of your household items, using our industry experience to ensure fair market pricing.
Items will be priced to maximize your profit, while ensuring the items are saleable. This will drive the highest overall returns for your estate sale.
Our client’s input regarding the value of specific items is always appreciated and balanced against fair market pricing.
Promotion
Each sale is advertised using a variety of social media outlets featuring professionally staged photos of items with descriptions, with maps to the sale location, and contact information so that Cotton & Company can answer customer questions about your sale and items.
In addition to social media advertising, we will leverage estate sales networks, email campaigns and directional signage.
Prior to the sale, we will place directional signs in and around your neighborhood to capture the attention of prospective customers as they pass by.
Payment Options
During your sale, we accept all major credit cards, Cash, Venmo, and Apple Pay from our customers.
All sales transactions are recorded in a spreadsheet with item descriptions and the sold for price.
Upon the conclusion of your sale, you will receive a copy of spreadsheet within 3 days with a list of all items sold and receive payment within 10 days.
