When do I get paid?

Our payment process is fully transparent. We show you all register receipts and costs. You will receive your payment within two weeks post sale.

Do shoppers come year-round?

Yes! Our shopper data has shown that there is no seasonality to estate sales. Shoppers are looking for rare finds year round. In fact, we even notice a slight uptick in shoppers during the holidays.

How many items do I need?

This is very normal in our business. Rest assured our team preps your home so that it will look pristine to anyone entering the sale.

We also place clear signage to guide shoppers on what is available for purchase and what is off-limits.

Linda
INHERITOR

“We just inherited our grandparent’s estate after they passed, and True Legacy Homes truly understood what we were going through. They provided unwavering support, compassion, and personalized guidance throughout the entire process, ensuring we felt at ease every step of the way…

Their dedication, tireless effort, and meticulous attention to detail turned what initially felt like an overwhelming and emotional task into a very manageable and simple process. Sorting through decades of memories, from the wood shop to the art studio, and two floors filled with over 80 years of belongings, the team approached everything with care, positivity, and unmatched expertise. We are incredibly grateful for the attention to every detail and how accommodating, patient, and understanding they were throughout this emotional journey.”

Valerie
INHERITOR

“I couldn’t be more thrilled with how smoothly our estate sale unfolded. After losing my father, they guided me through every step, making the process easy. The team expertly managed the staging and sale, answered all questions promptly, and kept us informed throughout…

What touched me most was how respectfully they handled my father’s belongings, displaying everything with care. Since we live out of state, they even offered a competitive cash offer for the home, and everything was transparent—no surprises or hidden fees. The house closed just one week after the sale. This team made a difficult time feel smooth, personal, and deeply respectful. I highly recommend them.”

Rochelle
DOWNSIZING

“True Legacy Homes is extraordinary! From start to finish, their team treated us with warmth, kindness, and care beyond our expectations. After living in our home for over 50 years, we had collected many items, thinking our kids or grandkids might need them. When we decided to move closer to family, we hired True Legacy, and they worked magic…

They meticulously organized every item, transforming our home into a showroom of memories. Before the estate sale, we walked through and were moved beyond words. To our amazement, they even found my mother’s wedding ring, which I thought I had lost! Thank you to the fabulous team that made this process unforgettable!”

Nicholas
CASH HOME OFFER

“True Legacy Homes was top-notch! From start to finish, their communication was flawless, and every interaction felt personal and reassuring. My husband and I were overwhelmed after landing new jobs in Texas and needing to sell everything, including our house.…

A neighbor recommended True Legacy, and it was the best decision we made. One standout memory: we had a collection of keepsakes, and the estate sale manager shared that a few shoppers came specifically for our collectibles, including a glass set of geese we bought on our travels. Knowing our cherished items found loving homes brought us comfort and joy. We highly recommend their services!”
