How does the online auction work?
Plan and Organize
We begin by creating a project plan aligned with your timeline. Together, we review item resale potential and determine what should be removed in advance. We then coordinate arrangements to prepare the property for a seamless and efficient online auction process.
Preparation
Once your valued items have been removed, we create a complete photo catalog of the remaining pieces, organizing them into lots and writing detailed descriptions. Our experience ensures a compelling auction designed to maximize return, while we manage all communication with the auction house to keep the process smooth and minimally disruptive.
Auction
After you approve the catalog, the auction is promoted to our network of local buyers and goes live online for 10–12 days. We oversee the entire sale, coordinating with both the auction house and buyers. Pickup is scheduled two days after closing, and we arrange removal of unsold items, leaving the property clean and ready for its next stage.
