Estate SalesChoosing a company to manage an estate sale after a loved one has passed on is usually something that is not pre-planned. We understand that estate liquidation is a matter which requires careful consideration by family members during a very stressful and often emotionally challenging time. The added responsibility of selling belongings, cleaning a home, and preparing the property itself for sale can feel nearly overwhelming.
With an exciting extension of services in Palm Springs, CA, we continue to take great pride in the solutions we offer. The PEERLESS team takes these huge tasks off our clients' shoulders and get the job done in what often seems to be overnight speed. Our clients offer the highest compliment when they describe the work we do as respectful and professional. While conducting our work, words like “tribute” and “dignity” resonate in everything we do while handling the personal collection of a lifetime.
We insist that ours is a relationship business which grows with good referrals. Mutual trust and confidence begin each new successful client experience..
PEERLESS Estate Sales is a diversified knowledge base – each of us with different areas of interest and pricing knowledge. Week after week, we work closely together to assign Fair Market Value prices to period furniture, fine art, and unique collectibles as well as general household goods, tools, small appliances, musical instruments, books, clothing and more. Internet resources, auction records, and collector guides are often useful tools, as well as independent specialty appraisers who may be consulted to assist with Fair Market Values of Persian rugs, Asian Antiquities, and fine jewelry.
It is our goal to sell the estate collection quickly at the highest possible prices. Visual merchandising is a special talent we excel at! We professionally display and prepare every item we encounter - often using our creative merchandising talents and tools to make "something out of nothing." We have only one chance to work with any given collection of things and it is our intent to make the very best sale from every household in which we are entrusted.
We provide display cases and tables, professional table drapes and skirting, ticketing and marking supplies, signs and shopping bags as well as electronic sales management, merchant card processing and an app-based bidding system for customers to make offers! During the days of the sale, we will provide staff to assist shoppers, monitor restricted areas of the house if necessary, and when customer traffic is anticipated in response to a remarkable collection of merchandise, a doorman will be assigned to the entrance for an additional presence of security, customer service and welcome.
PEERLESS Estate Sales' targeted advertising, brand recognition, and reputation in the community and on the Internet guarantee a successful estate liquidation event week after week.
Not only will you find us knowledgeable and resourceful about the value of the estate collection, we also know who wants to buy! We know the apps and websites to advertise, how to write effective, honest and excitement-generating ads, as well as which items to highlight in social media to get the buyers there! PEERLESS Estate Sales maintains an exclusive database of over 2,000 collectors, clients, and dealers who are always interested in buying the kind of items you may have available. We track our customer's purchasing history, collectible interests, and in many cases -- manage current open orders!
Our customer list includes local dealers as well as "retail" buyers who will be your estate sale's first visitors -- often by the hundreds at the opening hour of each event!
At the Markle-Pittock Mansion Estate Sale, we welcomed OVER 3,000 customers! The line to get in the magnificent home stretched down the heated granite driveway through the iron gate, past the Honey Bucket we provided for customer comfort while they waited over 2 hours every day ALL day for THREE days!
Our fee is based on a percentage of the total sales so you can count on us to get the very best prices we can.
Our goal is to maximize the income potential of the estate collection through both on-site and on-line sales.
We leave the property empty and clean on time for your Realtor while providing industry-leading service to our clients and customers.
A signed agreement is required to reserve dates for your sale, and this can be done in person or on-line with our custom app EMPIRE v.5. View your Contract, Project Calendar and Sales Report right from your SmartPhone! We’ll need at least a week working alone in the home to prepare the merchandise and sales floor to open to the public. More time may be needed depending on the size of the estate and condition of the property. A 2 week staging period could be rewarded with an additional day of selling at full price!
