What We Offer and How We Put Our Customers First!

We understand that each customer has a unique set of needs, that there isn't a one-size-fits-all service.  We also understand that a families personal items have a unique and special place to each member and for that reason we ensure that everything we do honors your families life-long investments.  It is with our unique services that we can ensure our customers are positioned for financial success in their choices.  Please take a moment and see how each of our services can compliment your estate goals:

Estate Sales

Estate sakes should honor your families life-long investments.  Avery, Teach and Co., achieves this through extensive planning, research, pricing and a three-part sales system:

  • Pre-sale: Allows those unable to attend day 1 activities to buy on-line, resulting in better coverage for your items.  Pre-sales are announced well in advance so that all buyers have a fair opportunity to make a purchase and is usually run in an on-line auction beginning the day prior and ending the same evening.  items sold are marked and available for pick-up at the buyers convenience.  Should a buyer require shipping assistance, Avery, Teach and Co., work with the buyer to coordinate and ship purchases further expanding our customers audience.
  • Sale Days: Normal in-person sales begin on Fridays and Saturdays (Sundays or multiple weekends if the property requires additional time) fully staffed by our knowledgable staff.  The Avery, Teach and Co., staff ensure that our customers best interest are always top of mind while making our sales competitive for customers and fun.
  • Post-sale: Donating or sacrificing items left after the sale aren't the only options.  Our on-line post sale allows customers the opportunity to review and buy last chance items they may have missed.  Ensuring that every item realizes its true value for our customer.  

One important service we offer is the Estate Sale Audit (ES Audit).  We realize that our service may not be for everyone, and we've had enough customers who started with a bad experience only to later find Avery, Teach and Co., and experience what they missed first time around.  We're not saying that other services are bad, but we're realistic enough to know that there have been customers who didn't realize the full value of their items, who may have signed contracts that are designed to help the estate sale company and not the customer, who end up making nothing while the service they hired makes everything.  This is why Avery, Teach and Co., offer the ES Audit; Avery, Teach and Co., will provide appraisal services on your high value items so you have an independent appraisal to work from.  We can Audit sales records to ensure that you receive everything you were promised.  We will audit the contract and make recommendations on changes to rates, verbiage and other contractural items and when we have questions we will have our attorneys review the contract to ensure no stone is left unturned.  Lastly, we can offer the hidden or monitored sale services.  Monitored Services is accomplished in one of two ways, first we can monitor your sale remotely and by camera or we can send in "hidden," shoppers who will engage with sales people, ensure that prices are realized and that the service providers are meeting all security and contractual obligations.

So please reach out to our Estate Sale Staff, they are always ready to answer questions and assist customers with all of their needs.
