How May We Help You?
Many questions arise when facing the decision to liquidate an estate. Where do I begin? How will my items be valued? How will they be sold? Would it be wiser to donate? The Great American Estate Sale team understands the challenges. We relate to the emotions involved in parting with personal belongings.
Our job is to assist you in this important transition. We specialize in many areas and draw on over 30 years experience. From antiques, artwork, and jewelry to common household goods, the Great American Estate Sales team will effectively sell your items in a timely, respectful, and profitable manner. Not only do we want to optimize your proceeds, it is also very important to us that we do it in a way that is comfortable for you and your loved ones.

What questions to ask when choosing an estate liquidation company.
Does the company bring in other items to a sale? It is our practice to never combine inventory, be it personal or from another estate.
Does the company offer a clear and concise contract? The contract you will sign was drawn up by an estate planning attorney. Our accounting form used to report sale proceeds, tax collected, resale items, advertising, and other areas of importance was designed by a local, reputable accountant.
Does the company collect sales tax? As an estate liquidation company, we are required by law to collect and pay city, state, and county sales tax.
And finally....
Does the company conduct sales in a professional manner? We encourage you to visit one of our sales to see how we do it! We'd love to show you the ropes. We are very proud of our services.
