Potpourri Estate Sales | Home Original-20160606

We provide exceptional attention to detail. We offer more than 15 years of experience and creative solutions for clients with specialized needs.

Potpourri Estate Sales helps people who are downsizing for any of a variety of reasons. There may be a death in the family, a divorce, a debilitating illness, the need to move to an Assisted Living Facility, something as straight forward as retirement to a warmer climate, or, finally, the desire to change to a simpler lifestyle.

Often, these changes bring about stress, as people may not know where to turn for help in dealing with the contents of their homes. They may not even know where or how to begin, as items have been accumulated over many years, even decades.

Potpourri Estate Sales offers years of experience liquidating the contents of estates, including antiques and collectibles, cars and trucks, contemporary and used furniture, designer, and vintage clothing, artwork, estate and costume jewelry, toys, tools, appliances, garden equipment, and much more.

Potpourri Estate Sales provides all of the resources needed to sort, organize, attractively display, research, tag everything and price to the best of our ability, advertise, and market to sell the contents of an Estate. We work with you, the client, and the sale patrons, to provide an enjoyable, valuable, and profitable sale experience for all parties.

Typically, we start working in the home three to five days prior to the actual sale date, depending on the amount of work that needs to be done. We bring in folding tables and tablecloths to display the small items included in the sale. We empty cabinets, closets, and drawers so that all items can be easily viewed and attractively presented. Our Crew is famous for our beautiful staging, and presentation of our client's items. We give them a fresh new look. Our pictures posted on our site are thoughtfully taken to attract our buyers. No one does it better.

Estate Sales jewelry is displayed in locked glass cases. Costume jewelry is artfully arranged and display on large fabric cork-boards. Linens and other small items are displayed in clear plastic bags so that patrons can easily view them while keeping the sale neat and orderly for the enjoyment of all.

After displaying the items for sale, we price each item individually. Pricing is based on our knowledge of the current marketplace, our many years of experience, our extensive reference library, and our worldwide network of individuals with expertise in a wide variety of specific specialty areas.

We use the latest in Internet Advertising, including photos, maps, e-mail, and directions, which bring in interest from a broader base. We write and place all newspaper advertising and send out e-mail announcements to our subscriber list, which numbers in the thousands. When we have a sale, we touch 75 thousand people. Each day of the sale, we also place a host of highly visible, professionally manufactured signs leading the way to your sale from every major area intersection. Our goal is to bring motivated buyers to your sale.

Once the sale begins, our staff works diligently with each and every patron. Our staff is comprised of seasoned, professional salespeople, not "house-sitters". If a patron shows interest in an item, we do our best to make sure they purchase it. We are interested in selling, not just displaying.

We normally sell the majority of all items. What's left can be donated to charity, retained by the owner, removed without charge, or simply discarded. After the sale has concluded, we can provide you with a list of Charities, Thrift Shops, and Consignment Stores, if you prefer to market the remainder.

At the conclusion of the sale, we present you with a receipt for every single item sold. The receipts are totaled and reconciled with you, and your proceeds are presented to you at the end of the last day of the sale. We write you a check for the full amount owed you, on the last day of the sale, that you can take to the bank, the following business day.

We accept Cash, Checks and Credit Cards.
