Frequently Asked Questions About Estate Sales in Raleigh

What’s the difference between an estate sale and an auction?

Estate sales attract mostly local buyers, while auctions reach national collectors and drive competitive bidding for higher returns. Often, estate auctions also produce higher sell-through rates, meaning that after the sale closes, there are fewer items remaining than in traditional estate sales.

Do you handle luxury estates?

Yes. BRG specializes in high-value estates across Cary, Chapel Hill, and Raleigh, including fine art, antiques, fine jewelry, and rare collections. We also handle quality decorative arts -- those accessories that make the house a home.

How much does estate liquidation cost?

Our services are primarily commission-based, meaning there are no upfront costs for most services. We customize our approach each estate or downsize to meet the needs of our clients. Since needs vary from one client to another, we do not have a one-size-fits-all approach. All commissions and costs are clearly outlined in the agreement we prepare for our clients.

Do I need to prepare items in advance?

No. BRG handles everything—sorting, cataloging, photography, and promotion. We only ask that the estate property or personal property is easily accessible.
