How it works
Three steps, and you don't host a weekend crowd
Free consultation
We talk through what's in the home and your timeline, then walk through in person. You set aside anything the family is keeping, and you get a written agreement before anything is sold.
We catalog & sell online
We photograph, research, and price each item or lot. Smaller items and collectibles sell on our live Whatnot shows. Furniture, tools, and household goods go into a timed online-only auction.
Shipping, pickup & payout
We pack and ship Whatnot sales to buyers nationwide. Larger auction items are picked up by local buyers on scheduled, supervised pickup days, usually Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons. You never have to deal with buyers. We help clear what's left, and you get an itemized report and payment within 14 days of the final pickup.
Why families choose us
Local, careful, and in writing
Local to Conroe
We're based in Conroe and work in homes across Montgomery County and north Harris County.
Buyers beyond the neighborhood
Live online shows and online auctions reach collectors and shoppers well past the local foot traffic of a yard-sign sale.
Keepsakes protected
We set up a "do not sell" area before cataloging starts, so family items stay with the family.
Everything documented
A written agreement up front, and an itemized sales report with your payout.
Services
Pick the option that fits the situation
Online estate sales
A full sale handled online: cataloging, online-only auction, live online shows, shipping of smaller items, and supervised local pickup days. This is the best fit for most homes and storage units.
Cash buyouts
If you'd rather have a single quick payment, we'll make a flat cash offer for all of the contents or just the leftovers. No auction and no waiting.
Cleanouts & trusted referrals
After the sale, we can arrange buyout, donation pickup, or haul-away for anything left over. If your estate needs a traditional in-person weekend sale or a larger crew, we'll connect you with a trusted local full-service company.
Pricing
Simple, commission-based pricing
You pay nothing upfront
- Online estate sales are commission-based: we earn a percentage of what sells, so we're paid only when you are.
- We cover listing, platform, and payment-processing costs and pickup-day staffing out of our commission.
- A minimum commission applies to smaller sales, and you'll see it in writing before you sign.
- Cash buyouts are a flat offer with no commission.
- We quote leftover options (buyout, donation pickup, or haul-away) upfront.
Your exact quote
Every estate is different. After a free walk-through, we'll give you a written agreement that covers the commission rate, the minimum, the timeline, and the leftover plan, so there are no surprises.
For attorneys, senior move managers & realtors
A dependable hand-off for your clients' belongings
- Executors and out-of-town heirs: they don't need to be on site. We agree on keys, access, and pickup times up front and send updates in writing.
- Records for the estate file: a written agreement before the sale, and an itemized sales report with the payout.
- Works around move dates and closings: what's going to the new place goes first, and we plan pickups and the leftover clearout around your deadline.
- Personal property only: we don't list, sell, or refer real estate, so we stay out of your lane.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do strangers walk through the house?
No. Smaller items are shipped to buyers, so those buyers never come to the house. For larger items, local buyers come only during scheduled pickup windows to collect items they've already paid for, and our staff supervises every pickup.
Is the auction held in person?
No. All of our auctions are online-only, and we never take bids in person. Smaller items also sell on our live online shows and eBay and are shipped to buyers.
What does it cost?
Nothing upfront. Online sales are commission-based with a minimum for smaller sales, and cash buyouts are a flat offer. Your exact terms are in your written agreement before anything is sold.
How and when do I get paid?
Within 14 days after the final pickup, you'll get an itemized sales report along with your share by check or ACH.
Do I need to be there?
No. Many clients are out-of-town family members or executors. We'll agree on access, keys, and pickup times upfront and keep you updated.
Do you ship, or is everything picked up?
Both. Smaller items sold on our Whatnot live shows are packed and shipped to buyers nationwide. Furniture and other larger items sold in the online auction are picked up locally. Either way, you never have to deal with buyers.
When are pickup days?
Pickup days for larger auction items are scheduled after the auction closes, usually on Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons. Buyers come only at their assigned time, and only for items they've already paid for.
What areas do you serve?
Conroe, The Woodlands, Montgomery, Spring, Magnolia, Willis, and nearby communities in Montgomery County and north Harris County. If you're outside the area, ask anyway and we'll point you to someone who can help.
What about items the family wants to keep?
Remove or clearly mark them before cataloging begins. We'll help you set up a "do not sell" area.
What happens to whatever doesn't sell?
You choose the plan in advance: we can make a buyout offer on the leftovers, arrange a donation pickup (with a receipt), or schedule a haul-away.
What if my estate isn't a good fit for an online sale?
We'll tell you honestly and connect you with a trusted local full-service company. We may receive a referral fee from them, and it never adds to your cost.
Can you take a storage unit, garage, or partial household?
Yes. Storage units, garages, and partial downsizes are often a good fit for an online sale or a cash buyout.
Do you handle the house itself?
No. We handle personal property only. We don't list, sell, or refer real estate.
