FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers about how our online estate sales, pickup processes, and liquidation timelines work across East Tennessee.

How do online estate sales work?

We organize, catalog, photograph, and list your estate inventory on our high-traffic auction platform. Buyers bid online, and our team manages the supervised on-site pickup at the property once the sale concludes.

How long does the estate sale process take?

Most estate sales take 1 to 2 weeks to inventory, photograph, and publish online. Bidding typically runs for 5 to 7 days, followed by a 1 to 2 day scheduled pickup window.

What areas in Tennessee do you serve?

We serve Knoxville, Oak Ridge, Maryville, Alcoa, Farragut, Sevierville, and surrounding communities throughout East Tennessee.

Why choose an online auction over a tag sale?

Online estate auctions attract a larger pool of competitive bidders, protect the home from heavy foot-traffic damage, and keep your property address private until winning bidders attend the scheduled pickup.

Estate Sales Professionals continues to set the standard for how an auction should be run. Elaine made the entire experience outstanding from beginning to end. The listings were accurate, the bidding process was fair and exciting, communication was prompt, and pickup was organized and effortless. It’s clear that Elaine genuinely cares about both buyers and sellers, and that attention to detail shows in every aspect of the auction. Whether you’re a first-time bidder or a seasoned collector, you can bid with confidence knowing you’re dealing with true professionals. One of the best estate sale auction experiences I’ve had. Five stars without hesitation—I’m already looking forward to the next auction. Highly recommended!

Let me tell you, nobody runs an estate sale like Elaine Graham! Her sales are top‑notch, well‑priced, and full of great finds. But Elaine doesn’t stop there. She’s one of Oak Ridge’s hardest‑working volunteers, always jumping in to help local groups raise money and keep community projects going strong. She’s the kind of person who makes things happen. If you need an estate sale done right or a volunteer who shows up with energy and heart, Elaine is your girl.

Elaine is absolutely wonderful to work with! She runs her online estate auctions with honesty, professionalism, and incredible attention to detail. Her descriptions are accurate, the photos are excellent, and the entire process—from bidding to pickup—is always smooth and well organized. What I appreciate most is Elaine herself. She is kind, friendly, and genuinely cares about both the families she serves and the people participating in her auctions. Her integrity and hard work shine through in everything she does. If you’re looking for an estate sale professional who is trustworthy, knowledgeable, and makes the entire experience easy, I wholeheartedly recommend Elaine. She is truly one of the best!

Elaine and her team were great. She communicated what to expect and when her team showed up they got everything organized. When auction time rolled around we could watch the progress( stay patient, it all happens at the closing hours). Pick process was smooth and they left us with a completely cleared out house and a check. Just what we asked for. Great job y’all.

My wife and I have bought many things at her auctions. If we have had questions about a particular lot, we texted or emailed and always got a prompt reply. The pick ups at the auctions have always gone smoothly. The individuals working there are courtesy and have always been helpful.

Elaine and her team were unbelievable in the care they took with cleaning out my dear sister's condo. Elaine kept me up to date and was truly professional the entire time on this project. I cannot give her and her team a higher recommendation than how I went from grief to relief when everything was finally done to perfection!
