NOBLE HOUSE ESTATE SALES & SERVICES

Our commission rate can fluctuate based on several variables, such as the location, size, and complexity of the estate as well as the scope of services you might need. With that said, commissions in the industry typically fall within the range of 20% to 40% of the total proceeds, and our standard commission rate hovers around 30% to 35%. Occasionally, we may opt for a fixed fee structure when constructing our contract with you, especially for smaller estates or specific services. 

It's important to bear in mind that a lower commission rate doesn't automatically translate to higher returns for you. Estate sale companies vary in the quality of their services and outcomes, and not all deliver the same level of service or achieve comparable results.

It usually takes 4-12 weeks for the entire estate sales process, depending on a varitey of factors. Initial consultation, inventory and valuation, and marketing and promotion usually take 2-8 weeks. Preparing the sale takes about a week, and the sale itself usually lasts for 3 days. Post-sale clean up, final report, and payment can take from a few days to 2 weeks.
