What Our CLIENTS say...

To Lisa and her Team

What an amazing job. We can't thank you and your team enough for what you have accomplished in our father's house. You and your team showed professionalism, kindness and respect for his hundreds of many items, and many, many boxes. You and your team did an outstanding job and we couldn't believe the final results! Truly amazing!  It certainly took a lot off our shoulders and the house is ready for the real estate closing date. We could never have done this on our own, so again, great job!

S&A

Had to write to tell you what a great job you did in organizing and hosting my estate sale. I was very impressed with your knowledge , and the research you did before pricing everything.  You appear to have a wonderful team working with you, and I was particularly impressed with the efficient way you cleared everything that was left in the house. I will be happy to recommend your name to anyone.

Kind regards, Stephanie

Hi Lisa

Just wanted to say thank you for all your efforts with our recent moving sale.   It was such a godsend to us to have you and your very competent team organizing everything and managing the sale.  The marketing brought buyers in and your knowledge of current market helped ensure things were priced to sell.

It was a relief to come home to a practically empty house and to not have to deal with disposal of things that we have no room for in the new place.

Thanks again for all your help

Harriet and Ray

Thank you for sending the document and for your services. Your communication has been great as well as the way you handled working with the family and all our requests. Great work, thanks for all of your hard work.

Hi Lisa,  wow!!! I'm gobsmacked!  Never in a million years did I think the job could be organized and have such potential worth. Thank you for your hard work! 

A while back we found ourselves stuck between a rock and a hard place.   We were downsizing, selling one house and moving in to another.    We needed to get rid of some of our "stuff". 
Our solution was Lisa and her estates team.   We found their staff to be friendly and knowledgeable.   Most importantly we felt safe and secure with them working in our house and with our "stuff". 

Lisa and her Mom gave us some insight and history about the items we were selling.   Additionally, we had a few laughs along the way. 
Bottom line -  good company and nice people.
Chris and Susan. 

Having my mothers things in storage for over 6 years was not a good choice. Calling you Lisa and your company to help us was the best choice. Your rates were fair and you always went above and beyond to answer any questions and help us make decisions about what we wanted to keep. You made such beautiful displays with her treasures, and we saw how many hundreds of customers you brought to the house sale. What a terrific job you did from start to finish. We couldn't be happier with the results and will tell all of our friends about you. THANK you so very much!

June and Ted

Questions?

1) Help!  I've got too much stuff. What should I do first?

Durham Region Estate Service understands how overwhelming it can be for a homeowner, trusted family member or estate executor to undertake the task of downsizing, moving, or handling an estate clearing. The first thing you should do is identify the items that are not for sale. Pack and remove what you intend to keep, and leave the rest to us! Do not "clean out" the house with trips to a donation site or landfill, as many of the items you think are "junk" may have some resale value.

2) What are the costs associated with your Service?

There is no fee for the initial consultation (within Durham Region). We'll gladly meet with you to walk through the premises and advise you of your best options. When you sign a contract with us, we will retain a deposit.  At the end of the sale, we are paid by commission based on the value of the sale. In some cases, we may charge a minimum and/or an hourly rate. To assist you to organize, to stage your home for resale, or to pack for your move, we charge a flat rate based on our time and expenses.

3) What about "Antiques" and other valuables? Does your Estate Service sell those too?

Our expertise, knowledge and experience with the current market will determine a fair market price for those items, one that an antique dealer or collector will gladly pay and one that will get you the most money for those items. Many dealers come to our sales. We have well established contacts in every facet of the Antique and Collectible market that we can approach to help us if we need to determine the value of very unique items.  

4) Couldn't I just do this myself?

Short answer? Yes.  Getting ready to move, de-cluttering, staging your home, or handling an estate are quite manageable with time and energy, but for many, it is overwhelming. As we all know, any kind of change be emotionally difficult.  If time, health, or emotions are in the way, hire the professionals at Durham region Estate Service. 
We know how to help. We are experts in Antiques, Collectibles, and the Resale Markets. We make sure we understand what your priorities are and work to achieve your goals. We know how to price things so they will sell, how to set up for a sale, how to monitor traffic, and we know how to draw a crowd to the sale!  All of these things comes from years of work and experience. We make it easy for you - you can relax, and know we are working FOR you!

5) What about all the cha-chas and stuff I have? 

Never underestimate what people will buy at an estate, content, or tag sale. We have sold items for as little as 25 cents, and for as much as $25,000. Yes, even that could sell! Let us determine what will sell and what won't - DON"T THROW ANYTHING OUT!

6) What if my items do not sell?

There are several options for items that do not sell. The homeowner/executor can keep the items, donate them to favourite charities or give them away. We may be able to arrange for a complete buyout to local re-sellers, or we can remove all items for local non-profit donations at your request. 
We can also arrange for consignments.
