Answers to the most common questions about how Sale Advisor works, what it costs, and why it beats selling on your own.
We come to you, catalog everything you want to sell, photograph each item, and handle the selling. When an item sells, our moving team delivers it to the buyer and we send you your money. There is no cost to you.
Text us at (847)-444-9657 or submit an inquiry through our website. We will schedule an in-home consultation where we walk through your home and catalog everything you want to sell. From there, we handle the rest.
No. Sale Advisor never charges you anything. Zero cost, always. We only earn a percentage of the sale price when your items actually sell. If nothing sells, you owe us nothing.
We currently serve the greater Chicago metropolitan area. We are planning to expand nationally in the near future, starting with cities where our delivery team already operates.
The fastest way to reach us is by texting (847)-444-9657. You can also submit an inquiry on our website at saleadvisor.com. We respond to every message personally, usually within a few hours.
We accept furniture, electronics, appliances, antiques, collectibles, home decor, sporting goods, tools, musical instruments, and more. If it has resale value, we can probably sell it. During your in-home walkthrough, we will let you know which items are a good fit.
We research current market prices to find the optimal listing price for each item. Our goal is to maximize your payout while keeping items priced to sell. You can always set a minimum price, just let us know!
If an item does not sell, you owe us nothing. We may recommend a price reduction to move it faster, but the final call is always yours. Items that remain unsold stay in your possession unless you ask us to remove them.
We focus on higher-value items like furniture, electronics, and appliances because the percentage-based model works best for those. We generally do not accept clothing, books, or low-value personal items, but we are happy to discuss your specific situation during the walkthrough.
There is no hard minimum, but items generally need to be worth enough that our percentage covers the cost of listing and delivery. As a rule of thumb, items worth $50 or more are a great fit. We will always be honest about what makes sense during your walkthrough.
It depends on the item. Popular furniture and electronics often sell within the first week. Niche or higher-priced items may take a few weeks. We actively manage every listing and adjust pricing if needed to keep things moving.
We list across multiple major online platforms. Every item gets professional photos and a detailed description optimized for each, giving your items maximum exposure.
Delivery is handled by our own professional moving team. When an item sells, we coordinate pickup from your home and delivery directly to the buyer. No shipping costs, no meeting strangers, no porch pirates.
Yes. If you have a number you are not willing to go below, just let us know. We will never sell an item for less than your minimum without your approval. Our pricing recommendations are based on real market data, so we will always give you an honest assessment.
We walk through your home together and you show us everything you want to sell. We photograph each item, take notes on condition and dimensions, and give you a realistic idea of what things are worth. The whole process usually takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on how many items you have.
You get paid after the item is sold and delivered to the buyer. We process payouts promptly so you are not waiting around. For larger collections, you will receive payments as individual items sell rather than waiting for everything to move.
We offer payment via direct deposit, Venmo, Zelle, or check. You choose whichever method works best for you. We will confirm your preferred payment method during the walkthrough.
Our commission varies by item based on factors like value, size, and how much delivery effort is involved. We are always transparent about the split before we list anything. You will never be surprised by hidden fees because there are none.
Estate sales happen over one or two days, attract bargain hunters, and typically sell items for far below market value. Sale Advisor sells each item individually at competitive prices, reaching serious buyers and maximizing what you earn.
When you sell online yourself, you deal with lowballers, no-shows, strangers coming to you, and hauling heavy items. Sale Advisor handles all of that for you. We manage every conversation, negotiate with buyers, and deliver with our own moving team. You do nothing except get paid.
Absolutely. Downsizing is one of the most common reasons people call us. Whether you are moving to a smaller home, helping aging parents, or just clearing out years of accumulated items, we make the process painless. We catalog everything, sell what has value, and coordinate with you every step of the way.
Text us at (847)-444-9657 or schedule your in-home consultation. No commitment, no costs.
