Then Virginia was closed and we were stuck at the folks house, loaded with 50+ years of their life, in the middle of a Pandemic and Recession. J at Fair Auction Co. worked with us, explaining how to make lots, how to photo them (which they normally do), and then when the anti-travel ban was lifted, he put the estate on-line immediately. Most of the furniture was Mid Century Scandanavian. J found us our market, featured us, had a one day pick up in front of the house, while his professional staff, wearing masks, came into the house and removed sold lots as buyers arrived. We were very pleased with the financial receipt. Thank you Fair Auction Company!

I can't say enough great things about Mission Critical Corporate and Estate Downsizing!…read more From the moment they arrived to assess the insane amount of "stuff" accumulated over decades that I needed to clear out before I could sell my property, it was clear I could trust Mission Critical Corporate and Estate Downsizing. What I thought would be an overwhelming and costly process turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. They assessed everything, and organized items into the following categories: professional auction, ongoing estate sale through Facebook Marketplace, consignment of over 40 high-end items via eBay, donations to Goodwill and Restore, clean out and removal of junk via local dumpster rental. The best part? I didn't lift a finger. Their team took care of everything--from sorting and appraising to listing and selling. They provided me with detailed accounting and status updates throughout the process. And the results speak for themselves: the sales from the auction, Facebook Marketplace, and eBay not only covered the cost of the clean-out services, but I'm now actually making money off of items I thought were trash! If you're overwhelmed by a downsizing project or estate situation, I get it! I tried to do it myself, and couldn't. My house, barns and miscellaneous outbuildings are now empty, and I just accepted an offer on my property! Do yourself a favor and call Mission Critical today. They're honest, efficient, full-service professionals--and as a bonus, veteran-owned! 10/10 would recommend, and I have - to everyone I know who's struggling with too much stuff.

This is a bit of a difficult review to write - but I felt it was important for others to share and…read moreunderstand what they are in for when you use an Auction House - in this specific case - to liquidate belongings from a deceased family member. My brother and I were at a loss as to what to do with a lot of the belongings of our Mother after she passed away this past summer. After we had decided what we wanted to keep, and what we wanted to donate, and what to recycle and/or throw out - there was still a lot of stuff left. We found out about Auctions on Main from a friend. When you contract with them - they are going to come and load up their truck, transport the items to their location in Purcellville, VA - and then they will be auctioned off live and online. It took three weekends of Auctions for all of our Mother's stuff to sell. We contracted with another service to come and box everything up so that it was all ready to go for Auctions on Main. It was was to stressful at the time to do this ourselves. We just wanted to get it done and move on. The day the truck arrived to pick everything up - two guys came in, and tagged every box and item with little stickers with numbers on then, then they photographed each box or item focusing on the sticker. Then the loading began. The whole process took about 4 hours. Auctions on Main charges a $400 fee to load and transport everything (for one truck load), plus they will keep 40% of the gross on the auctioned items. If anything is left that was unsold - and needs to be disposed of - they charge you a fee for transport to the dump. When all is completed - they will mail you a report with an accounting, along with a check (minus their fees). This was not a fun process. But in hindsight, I recognize the need and value for someone to do this. A final note - everyone who goes through this process - you should be prepared - emotionally and psychologically - that you are not going to receive a lot of money for your items that go to Auction. For us it was about clearing everything out and moving on.
