FAQ
How much do we charge?
This is dependent on how much work the set up will entail, timeline, and a few other options, but on average our company will take care of every step of the process from staging, marketing, cleaning, selling, and coordinating a haul off for 35-50% of total sales. This fee will go toward the marketing, payment of our amazing staff, equipment and more.
Am I allowed to be home during the sale?
Generally, we begin set up right after the home is vacated. We ask that the client get all of the keys the family, friends and neighbors have. At Ruth’s Reselling, clients and immediate family may not come to the sale for emotional reasons.
How long has Ruth’s Reselling been in the business?
We have been in business since 2008, with the business evolving over time. I started selling items for others on eBay, then garage sales, and now we exclusively manage estate sales and business liquidations.
How long does it take to set up an estate sale?
This is dependent on a lot of variables such as the condition of the house, amount of items needed to be staged, researched and priced. An average home can be empty, start to finish in less than 20 days.
Timeline
Every home is different, but most estate sales follow a consistent timeline. After the consultation, preparation, staging and pricing typically takes several days depending on the size of the home. Sale days usually run 1–3 days. Final reporting and settlement follow days after the sale.
