Good to know
What commission rates do antique shops charge for estate sales?
Most estate sale managers charge a commission rate between 30% and 50% of gross proceeds, depending on the volume and value of the inventory. Additional flat fees may apply for trash removal, professional appraisals, or post-sale cleanouts.
How long does the entire estate sale process take?
Preparation, research, and staging usually take 1 to 2 weeks, while the public sale itself runs for 2 to 4 days over a weekend. Final financial accounting and payout checks are typically delivered within 7 to 14 days after the sale finishes.
What is the difference between an estate sale and an estate buyout?
An estate sale sells items individually to the public over several days on a commission basis, maximizing total revenue. An estate buyout occurs when a dealer purchases the full inventory upfront for a single cash payment, offering faster resolution but usually a lower net payout.
