Maximizing Value Through Market Reach  -  One of the most appealing aspects of consignment is the ability to connect items with the right buyers. Estate sales are time-bound events that attract mostly local buyers. In contrast, consignment allows Home Presence to market items over weeks or months and reach a larger audience. Our team uses our network of established retail partners, specialty shops, and online platforms to target purchasers across the nation or even the globe. This wider exposure increases the chance of finding a buyer willing to pay closer to the true market value of an item, particularly when it comes to jewelry, fine furniture, collectibles, or art.  

Strategic Pricing and Appraisal -  For high end items such as antiques and pieces of art, it is important to establish authenticity. As part of the consignment fee, Home Presence will work with professional appraisers to document the provenance of items and establish prices that reflect the true value. During the consignment period, our marketing team will make strategic adjustments to pricing in response to market demand and expressed interest. This data driven process will result in higher final sale prices and avoid the deep discounts applied during liquidation sales.   

Flexibility for Families -  The consignment model offers greater flexibility than in-person sales. Families can choose a hybrid model in which certain items are selected for consignment and other items (often of lower value) are sold through smaller estate sales or online platforms. This hybrid approach ensures that high-value items receive the attention they deserve, while the family maintains control over the broader selling strategy.

Reduced Stress with Professional Assistance -  Managing the sale of a household can feel overwhelming, especially in the wake of a loss. Consignment reduces stress by moving items into the care of professionals. Home Presence handles the storage, display, marketing, and shipping of items. Unlike in-person sales, with consignment, families do not have to manage crowds, deal with people wanting to haggle on price, or worry about unsold items. Instead, they receive updates and proceeds as items are sold, knowing that the process is handled with care and compassion.
