Estate Sale Costs & Fees
Understand the commission before you plan your sale. We help families across Metro Atlanta and North Georgia explore their options with a free consultation.
Typical commission
Our typical estate sale commission is 40%. Your final rate depends on the individual sale.
Discuss your situation
We have no minimums. A consultation helps us understand the contents, goals, and practical needs of your sale.
Terms tailored to your sale
Each sale is different, and all fees are negotiable. We discuss the scope and fees with you before you decide.
How an estate sale commission works
A commission is a percentage of the sale proceeds. It helps pay for the work involved in organizing, preparing, marketing, and managing the sale. The specific services and final terms should be clear in your agreement.
A simple example
If sale proceeds were $10,000 and the agreed commission were 40%, the commission would be $4,000. That would leave $6,000 before any other separately agreed charges or adjustments.
This is an illustration only, not an estimate of what your belongings will sell for or a quote for your sale.
Why fees can vary from sale to sale
The size of a home alone does not tell the whole story. During the consultation, we look at the contents and the work needed to prepare a practical sale plan. Details to discuss include:
- The quantity, condition, and types of items being offered.
- Sorting, organizing, and display needs throughout the home.
- Access, stairs, parking, and any community requirements.
- Your move, closing date, or other scheduling needs.
- Any requested work beyond the agreed sale services.
What to clarify before booking
Ask us to walk through the proposed commission and service scope together. Confirm what is included, whether any separate charges apply, how payment and reporting will work, and the plan for belongings that remain after the sale.
Our typical 40% commission is a starting point for the conversation. Each sale is different, all fees are negotiable, and the terms agreed for your sale determine the final arrangement.
