Estate Liquidation
Are you downsizing or clearing out the home of a loved one? Our team can help! Our online estate sale services allow you to sell your belongings without the hassle of people walking through your home. We understand that getting rid of personal belongings can be a difficult task both physically and emotionally. When you work with Rae’s, you work with a team that cares about creating the best possible experience for you from start to finish. We start with a complimentary initial consultation to determine which items in your home should be placed in the estate sale. We then appraise the items and prepare them for the auction by taking high-quality photos and writing informative item descriptions. After your items are sold at auction, we will handle item pickup and shipping. Our estate sale services are available in Knoxville, Tennessee and the surrounding areas. If you are located in the area and would like to discuss liquidating an estate, please contact us to get started.
