Online Item SalesService 04 · Greater Cleveland, OH

A modern, private alternative to the estate sale.

No strangers walking through the house. We photograph, list, and sell items on Facebook Marketplace — handling every inquiry, pickup, and transaction, so the family never has to.

The Estate Sale, Reinvented

All the value, none of the open house.

A traditional estate sale means opening the family home to the public for a weekend — strangers in the bedrooms, haggling at the kitchen table, and whatever doesn't sell still sitting there Monday morning.

We do it online instead. We photograph the items worth selling, research fair prices, and list them on Facebook Marketplace. We field every message, vet every buyer, and coordinate every pickup — the family never deals with a stranger.

It's more private, more flexible, and often faster than a one-weekend sale. And it pairs naturally with downsizing: the things that don't make the move can become the budget that funds it.

How Selling Works

You never deal with a single buyer.

We become the seller of record. Every question, every lowball offer, every "is this still available?" comes to us, not to the family.

Pickups are scheduled and supervised, and you get a clear accounting of what sold and for how much.

  • We handle every message & offer
  • Pickups scheduled and supervised
  • Clear record of every sale

What's Included

Everything it takes to turn belongings into proceeds.

Use all of it or just the parts you need — every plan is custom to your home and timeline.

01

Professional Photos

Good listings start with good photos. We shoot items in clean, well-lit frames so they sell faster and for more.

02

Market Pricing

We research comparable sales to price each item fairly — high enough to respect its value, realistic enough to actually sell.

03

Marketplace Listing

We write clear, honest listings and post each item to Facebook Marketplace, where Cleveland-area buyers are already looking.

04

Buyer Coordination

Every inquiry, negotiation, and no-show is ours to handle. The family is never on the hook for a stranger's text at 9pm.

05

Safe Pickups

Pickups are scheduled and supervised so the home stays secure and nobody wanders where they shouldn't.

06

Transparent Proceeds

You receive a clear record of what sold and for how much — no mystery, no missing items.

How the Agreement Works

Clear terms, agreed up front — no surprises later.

We focus on items worth at least $100 and sell them on Facebook Marketplace. Before anything is listed, we build a log of every item and agree with you on a list price for each one. Here's exactly how the rest works.

01

$100 Minimum

We list items we believe are worth at least $100, so the time and effort behind every listing is worth it for you.

02

Itemized Log & Agreed Pricing

Every item gets logged with an Initial List Price you sign off on before it ever goes live — so you always know what's being sold and for how much we're asking.

03

Negotiating Authority

To keep sales moving, you grant us authority to negotiate within 15% of the Initial List Price without checking back in for every offer.

04

Payout Timing

Once a buyer's funds have cleared, your remittance is sent within 7 business days — no waiting until the whole project wraps up.

05

Unsold Items After 60 Days

If an item hasn't sold after 60 days, we'll notify you. It needs to be retrieved within 7 days of that notice, or it's considered abandoned and we'll responsibly route it to donation or disposal.

Who It's For

A private sale built around your situation.

For Seniors

No open house, no strangers.

You don't have to host a crowd or watch people pick through your home. We sell quietly, on your terms, from photos.

For Adult Children

Value recovered, stress avoided.

We turn the things that aren't making the move into proceeds — without you fielding a single Marketplace message.

Whole-Estate Sales

A respectful way to let go.

When a whole household needs to be sold, we handle it methodically and discreetly, with a clear record of everything.

Have valuables but dread an estate sale?

That's exactly who this is for. We'll tell you honestly what's worth listing and what's better donated.

A note on pricing.

Online sale cost depends on how many items are worth listing and how much photography and coordination is involved. That's why we don't publish fixed packages. After a free in-home consultation, you'll receive a clear written quote tailored to your home. No surprises, no hidden fees.
