Estate Sale FAQ's  

How long does the preparation and sale actually take?

This really depends on the contents of the home or business.  We like to have at least 7-10 days to set up and conduct the sale, but we understand that there are times that the sale needs to happen more quickly and we do our best to accommodate such circumstances.  

What if we have items we would like to have from the Estate Sale?

We encourage family members to take those items that have sentimental value prior to having the sale, before we access the home.  Once we have contracted with you for the Estate Sale, we ask that nothing be removed since our contract is based on the contents of the sale when the first assessment is made.  

If I have questions, when is the best time to contact you?

We realize that under these circumstances, and at your time of distress, we make ourselves available to you on a 24/7 basis, or an e-mail in the middle of the night will warrant a 7:00am phone call to alleviate your situation.  

Do you buy the Estate if we feel as though it does not warrant conducting the sale on the site of the property?

The answer is Yes, and we could still sell the Real Estate for you.

What types of merchandise do you appraise?

Antiques, Fine Art, Antique Furniture, Militaria, Porcelain, Pottery, Coins, and All Types of Collectibles.  We have the knowledge and expertise to research ANY ITEM you feel the need.

How is Hunter Antiques Estate Management Company compensated if I should choose to have an Estate Sale at my property?

We take a percentage of the proceeds of the sale itself.  We believe that by having qualified Estate Sale Representatives, it is the best way to ensure you will have a very prosperous sale.  We know the fair market pricing of each item we sell and this knowledge ensures you a prosperous sale.  

Do you work outside the State of Florida?

We work primarily in Jacksonville, the North Florida area, but Hunter Antiques Estate Management Company is happy to consider sales in other areas, (we have conducted sales in over 30 cities in the U.S. in the last 17 years).
