What does PVESA really do?
PVESA helps maximizes
the sales potential of an individual piece or an entire
estate – from the consignment of a chair, lamp or
piece of art to the liquidation of a life time of
furnishings, silver, collectibles, rugs, fine
linens, art, antiques, lighting, accessories, garden,
silver, china and almost all indoor and outdoor goods.
We will organize market and sell these items in our
consignment gallery, an in home private estate sale or an
auction.
Who
needs Paradise Valley Estate Sales & Auctions, LLC
(PVESA)?
Personal representatives of an estate, attorneys responsible
for the liquidation of clients' estates, individuals who
have unused furnishings stacked in a storage facility,
anyone planning to downsize or finds they have one or two
pieces that just do not fit with new furniture or design
changes, anyone moving out of state who does not want to
move the entire contents of a home; PVESA
can help in any of these situations – from simple
consignment to a complete range of estate services.
How do we do it?
First we find out what is most important to you.
By assessing your particular needs, we help determine
whether you need consignment, a private estate sale or liquidation
services. Depending upon your timeframe and complexity of
the situation we determine which
services best suit your situation.
How do we begin?
Once you have contracted with PVESA, we
create an inventory and develop a sales plan. Having
decided to have an private sale at your home or relocate
any or all of those items to our consignment gallery, we
catalog and tag each item with a corresponding inventory
number. This is the first step in our itemized pricing and
reporting process.
What if you need fine art or antique appraisal?
We are aware of the current market trends in
quality furniture, art, and antiques and can help evaluate
all of your estate items. If you have special pieces, and
require an appraisal, PVESA will contact certified
appraisers who can give you the information to verify the
value of your items
Which items should be sold at the consignment gallery?
In our
Scottsdale
consignment gallery, we arrange and market items for
optimum sales potential.
Our consignment gallery allows time for local
designers and buyers to shop and purchase high end or
special pieces. Items that require a longer or specialized
marketing strategy will do better in our gallery with
"fair market" pricing rather than in an estate
sale which requires a liquidation pricing structure.
What if your estate items go to auction?
PVESA
has numerous silent and live auctions each season. Consignmnet items
are advertised on our website. We also utilize Facebook and Twitter as well as making items available for sale in
our gallery for up to 60 days before they are sold at one
of our auctions.
What happens if we have an estate sale in my home?
PVESA
will inventory, organize, price and position your
household items for sale and then conduct either a
private, public or combination sale over a two or three
day period.
Who will buy all of your beautiful furnishings and fine
antiques?
We send out e-mailings to interested buyers on our Internet website and to our
e-mail database of dedicated buyers who come to our
private home and gallery sales. We are on Facebook and Twitter. PVESA
has a reputation for having fine furnishings, silver,
crystal, collectables, art and antiques at fair prices.
Local television, newspapers and other media
coverage have made PVESA
well known in the residential and designer community.
Paradise
Valley
Estate Sales &
Auctions was voted “Best Consignment Store” in
AZCentral.com’s 2009
and 2010 Readers Choice Awards.
How large must an estate be to need PVESA?
There is no minimum for estate or consignment
services. The amount of work involved, the property you
have to sell, the location of the sale and the value of
the items are factors in determining whether we can be of
service to you.
What
if you need to liquidate an entire estate?
PVESA
offers complete estate liquidation services: appraisal,
inventory, packing, shipping, private and public sales and
auctions coordinating everything with family, executors,
trust attorneys or other agents.
How
do you know how much you have to sell?
A good place to start is with an estate or
household inventory. PVESA can prepare a
database, which will record and describe every item in the
estate.
What do we charge for selling your estate items?
PVESA
retains a percentage of the purchase price as a commission
for organizing, marketing, advertising, selling and
keeping an inventory of your items.
For an in home private estate sale or liquidation that
requires other special services, there is a charge
commensurate with the size and scope of those services.
Are there any additional charges?
Before incurring any special or additional services you
require, such as item specific advertising, certified
appraisals, shipping or other services arranged by PVESA, you will authorize all charges.
