One Size Doesn’t Fit All: Exploring Your Options with White Goose Estate Sales

At White Goose Estate Sales, we understand that every client’s situation is unique—and so is their home’s contents project. That’s why we don’t offer a cookie-cutter solution. Instead, we tailor our services to fit your needs, timeline, and goals. Whether you’re downsizing, settling an estate, relocating, or simply ready for a refresh, we have a strategy that works for you.

As with all things in life, time is money, and in the estate sale world, the more time you allow, the more revenue we can generate. Want to use your house until 48 hours before closing? No problem, we're happy to help, but your project - and the revenue realized - will look very different than if you allow for 14-16 days.

So, let's discuss options and order them from least to most revenue generated (shortest to longest timeframes).

• Taking all the items of value or in need of a full reset? Our clean-out service handles everything from removal to broom-swept clean prior to closing. This service is one you pay for, but there are no items offered for sale. Best for: full move-outs & relocations on a very tight timeframe (1-3 days).

• When downsizing, you may be faced with leaving behind high-value items in combination with pieces suitable only for donation or disposal. In this scenario, a private sale/donation project is your best bet. White Goose will utilize our deep network of vetted, discrete buyers to generate top dollar for every item possible, coordinate pickup & delivery of donation items to facilitate tax benefits, and then dispose of any remaining items, finally leaving your property broom-swept and ready to close. Best for: partial contents, short timeframes (3-5 days), and downsizing projects. In these situations, the revenue generated often exceeds the fee for service leaving you with a positive net at completion.

• Depending on the volume of items offered and time available, White Goose can offer an in-person estate sale, perfect for properties with a wide range of well-staged items and easy access for local shoppers. Best for: Quick turnaround (7-9 days), some revenue generation, and demolition projects. While this option requires comfort with foot track on-site, it is often a convenient marriage between timeframe and revenue generation.

• When offering curated, unique, and high-demand items, an online auction is the only logical choice. The format allows us to reach a national audience, provide the utmost discretion, generate the most-possible revenue, and keep your property safe & secure. Best for: maximizing revenue with consideration for timeframe (14-16 days)

  
  

The best part? You don’t need to figure it out alone. We’ll walk you through your options, evaluate the contents, and recommend a custom solution based on your goals.
