Frequently Asked Questions
What is an estate sale?
An estate sale is a professional liquidation of personal property from a residence, typically during downsizing, relocation, or estate settlement. Unlike garage sales, estate sales are professionally marketed, organized, and managed to maximize value of items.
How much does an estate sale cost in San Diego?
Costs vary based on estate size and complexity, but typically range from 25-40% commission on total sales. We offer free consultations to discuss pricing specific to your situation.
How long does an estate sale take?
Most estate sales take 2-4 weeks total from initial consultation to completion. This includes set up, appraisals, pricing, photography, marketing, the sale itself, and clean up.
Do you buy entire estates or just valuable items?
We handle both! We offer full estate sales, estate buyouts (where we purchase everything for one price), and selective purchases of high-value items like antiques, jewelry, art, and collectibles.
How do you determine pricing for items?
Our team uses market research, comparable sales data, current demand trends, and item condition to set competitive prices. This ensures items sell quickly while maximizing your return.
What happens to unsold items?
Unsold items are handled through donation pickups, consignment for higher-value pieces, responsible recycling/disposal, or broom-clean property removal—whatever works best for your situation.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, we are fully licensed and insured. San Diego Liquidation and Estate Services maintains professional insurance and all necessary credentials to handle estates responsibly and legally.
Can you handle estates with valuable antiques or art?
Absolutely. Our team includes accredited appraisers with expertise in fine art, Asian antiques, jewelry, collectibles, and vintage items. We've handled high-value estates from $50K to $500K+.
