Frequently asked questions
How long does a sale take?
A typical estate sale with Starlite Estate Sales takes about six days from start to finish. We usually begin on Monday through Wednesday, carefully staging and pricing all items to ensure they are displayed attractively and valued appropriately. The actual estate sale runs Thursday through Saturday, giving buyers multiple opportunities to attend and maximizing your sales results.
Who prices the items?
Our experienced team handles all pricing, bringing over 40 years of combined expertise in estate sales, antiques, collectibles, and household goods. We carefully research and apply fair market value to each item, ensuring prices are competitive for buyers while maximizing returns for our clients. This balance of knowledge and professionalism allows us to conduct successful sales that are both fair and profitable.
How much does it cost?
At Starlite Estate Sales, there are no upfront costs to our clients. We also provide staging and pricing at no additional charge — everything is included as part of our service. Instead of charging fees, we operate on a simple commission structure, which means we only get paid when your items sell. This ensures our goals are fully aligned with yours: to maximize the success of your sale.
Do you advertise the sale?
Yes — every estate sale we conduct is professionally advertised to attract the largest possible audience of buyers. We promote sales on leading estate sale platforms like EstateSales.net, as well as through targeted online listings, email notifications, and social media outreach. Our goal is to ensure your sale receives maximum visibility so the right buyers know when and where to attend.
How can I contact you?
You can reach us by phone at 602-359-2527 or by filling out the contact form. We are always happy to answer your questions.
What happens to items that don’t sell?
Unlike some estate sale companies that remove or haul away unsold items, we believe it’s important for our clients to decide what happens next. After the sale, we provide guidance and referrals to trusted local organizations such as Goodwill or the Salvation Army for donation. This allows you to support worthwhile causes while clearing the home in a cost-effective way. We’re always happy to discuss options during your free consultation so you can choose the solution that works best for your needs.
