Street Numbers is the number system that we use to let people into the home at the beginning of the sale.
How it works is the first person that arrives at the estate sale has the option to be number one. That person then makes his own numbers keeps number one and passes out the rest of the numbers as more people arrive at the sale. The person that is handing out numbers has to stay at the sale location and pass out numbers until we open. Everyone one else can go do whatever they would like until we open. We always open the doors at ten o’clock sharp.

Yes. Most of our estate sales are fairly busy, especially on the first day. Please be prepared to arrive early and dress appropriately for the current weather conditions. Don’t want to wait in line? Click here to join Aaron’s – Early Access Program.
No, we do not have a store. We offer the entire contents of someone’s home for sale at their location. You can find the information for each of our sales on our upcoming sales page.
We have an Item Request Text Hotline, that during the sale you can text us about items at the estate sale. We are unable to answer pricing inquiries for our customers before the sale opens. This is due to the high volume of requests and pricing not being finalized until we open.
We are more than happy after the sale has opened to answer any pricing or availability questions. The best way to reach us on a sale day is to TEXT US on our Item Request Text Hotline: 248-988-9824
That’s a great question. You can give us a call at 248-915-8888 and we can talk through your situation and we can help see if you have enough to have an estate sale!
While that is charitable, these items are completely sellable at an estate sale and bring in additional profits to benefit the sale. Please refrain from discarding or donating any items within the home as these donations can be made after the estate sale.
If you feel that you must discard or donate any items please contact us to receive a professional opinion to make sure the item is not of high value. We would be happy to help!
First, we set up our display tables throughout the home and re-arrange furniture to maximize retail space. We then unearth any drawers, boxes and cabinets throughout the home and clean items as necessary. From there we separate sellable from non-sellable, research antique and high valued goods and finally, affix prices to all the displayed items.
Throughout the process we often find personal effects such as social security cards, bank or tax documents and other sensitive material which we set aside to be gone through by the owner of the estate.
Homeownership is the largest investment for the average American. This is why maintaining the condition of your home is our highest priority when having an estate sale. We work in homes of all sizes and identify the measures we need to take to make sure the home is left in as good or better condition than when you turned it over to our team.
This includes everything from carpet and wood floor covering to making all customers take off their shoes. We have team members stationed throughout the home to help carry larger items to ensure no damage gets done to the home.
Theft can be prevalent among estate sales as people think there is no surveillance within a home. We have solved this issue in a few different ways:
We are a team of professionals who set the standard in our industry and we get the job done right. We like to think of ourselves as the most cost-effective way to have an estate sale as our process and marketing produce the best results for our clients. Our clients hire us because they get the confidence in knowing their sale will be handled properly. There is no second chance when having an estate sale.

Pricing and the knowledge of the correct price on the second-hand market for an item can be one of the biggest challenges an estate sale company can face.
Aarons has certified appraisers for staff and a quality control team that checks the price of every item that we sell. We have countless hours of research and expertise under our belt. Using a combination of pricing resources and experts within our network we can correctly identify, price and market your valuable pieces.
Every situation is different. The short answer is yes, we offer discounts on the second day of a sale (upwards of 20-30%) and may increase the discount on the following days (upwards of 50%).
Our pricing begins slightly below retail value and as we discount, the prices become more enticing to secondary market customers. Any discounting after the initial price drop is done to ensure liquidation of the contents of the home while keeping fixed prices on items of high value.
Our Eary Access program is brilliantly designed to drive sales for our clients. Our Early Access program allows people who pay a monthly fee to get into our sales 15 minutes before everyone else. This results in several advantages. The first one is that since people are paying a monthly fee to come to our sales, they are more invested in coming to every single one of them, this results in higher attendance from our best buyers.
The next bonus is that all of our Early Access members are serious buyers. They are Collectors, Dealers, Antiques, and Vintage enthusiasts and spend tons of money every week shopping at estate sales. The last main benefit for our clients is that we have a better connection with our customers. We know who buys what and what they are looking for, we control both sides of the process, the selling, and the buying.
