With Estate Sale By Michele, you know exactly what to expect - professionalism, efficiency and exceptional results.
Thorough Research
The Effort is Worth It
You want to get as much as you can for your pieces, not just the lowest amount to make a sale.
To ensure the prices we assign reflect fair value, we use experts, appraisers and market knowledge to determine the worth of your belongings.
Photography
Good Pictures Attract Buyers
Pictures posted online will be the first representation of your estate sale. We photograph your items as a group, and individually, to best showcase them in advertising and for internet pre-sales.
Targeted Marketing
Advertising to the 'Right' Crowd
For marketing and advertising to be effective, it must reach the correct consumer base. Our experience has allowed us to create a clear and detailed buyer profile. By focusing advertising efforts to the ideal consumer, we are able to attract the crowds needed for a successful sale.
Pre-Sale Services
The Sale Before the Sale
Some situations may require pre-selling items online, especially if they are highly desirable and valuable. For these items, we will advertise on social media and other outlets, before the estate sale, in an effort to get the highest and best price.
Staging
It Can Make or Break an Estate Sale
First impressions can greatly influence the buyer and their desire to make a purchase. Before the sale, we organize and display your items in a manner that makes them look attractive and worth their value.
The Estate Sale
The Big Day Has Arrived
This is where all of the planning and effort pays off. Everything has been advertised, organized, clearly priced and our team is ready to make sure the sale goes smoothly.
At the End of The Day
What Happens to Remaining Items
After the sale, it is time to decide what to do if there are items which do not find a new home. We work with you to determine what you would like to keep and what you would like to donate. We will coordinate with a local charity and arrange for them to pick everything up. For an additional fee, we will box and bag the items so you don't have to worry about anything.
A Final Perk
Icing on the Cake
Often, an estate sale coincides with the sale of a home. We are proud to partner with an excellent real estate team, Collins Group, who can sell your home and help you find a new one. They even have short term rental homes available if you need it between moves.

Positive: Professionalism
Michele handle an estate sale for us and did an outstanding job. She did research on pricing, marketed to target audiences and kept very good records. She communicated with me regularly and I have complete confidence in her capabilities.
Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
I would like to share my experience that I had with Estate Sales by Michele. I lost my mom from Covid back in August of this year. I was completely lost and overwhelmed. My mom had collected a lot of very unique items throughout her life. Some valuable, some sentimental and I wanted to make sure I found a company that handled her things with the upmost care and class. That’s exactly what I found with Estate Sales by Michele. Michele and her team spent countless hours photographing, cataloging, and researching all of my mom’s treasures. There were numerous occasions where I would apologize that I couldn’t be any more assistance. At the time I couldn’t emotionally sort through the personal items that my mom had kept from over the years that meant so much to her. Every time Michele assured me it was not a issue and kept proceeding with the planning and organizing of the with sale. She constantly added items to her website as well as other websites to find the right type of people who would appreciate my moms belongings just as much as she did. The weekend of the sale was completely turn key. Michele and her team arrived, set up and displayed my moms things with prestige and professionalism that I know no other company could match. The sale was very successful and very easy on me. I was 100% satisfied and it was not only my pleasure doing business with her but also I felt like I made a friend along the way!
