BARROW SISTER, INC. - 32 YEARS ESTATE SALE EXPERIENCE - CERTIFIED APPRAISER OF ANTIQUES, COLLECTIBLES AND HOUSEHOLD CONTENTS - BONDED - INSURED
I conduct estate sales, or tag sales, in the greater Kansas City area, selling the household contents on a commission basis, and I do not charge a guaranteed minimum fee. I have conducted estate sales since 1979, and although antiques and jewelry are my specialties I have had wonderful results with cars, boats, RV's and tools. There is no charge for the trip to view the sale items and make sure you have enough for a sale. "Estate Sales" or "Tag Sales" mean everything is priced, or tagged, so moving sales are included, if there is enough. Nothing is shown or sold pryor to sale days to anyone, the only fair way I know to do this. I hire clerks to help sale days and tickets are written as items sell. The original of each ticket will be given to my client with the sale total and check. I believe my client has the right to know what sold and for how much. The premises are empty when I'm through as I have another business, with which I have no financial connection, come and buy and remove the items that haven't sold.
Estate sales are a great option for families from out of town since I assume all of the organization and work necessary to conduct the sale, making it unnecessary for them to have to be there.
I am also a certified appraiser which gives me the knowledge needed to make you more money, in addition to the 32 years actual estate sale experience.
Being a certified appraiser I am accepted by insurance companies for appraisals for homeowners insurance. I can also do appraisals for items you wish to donate to a charity, which I believe the IRS is shortly going to require. There is an hourly fee for appraisals.
My phone number is 816-524-3337 if you would like to phone for an appointment in regard to a sale, or to make an appointment for an appraisal.
