The Estate Transition Authority for Families in The Villages and Central Florida
Our estate sale fee is paid from the proceeds of the sale—not out of your pocket.
Proposals are explained clearly before work begins, so you know what is included and what to expect.

For qualifying estates, Village Estate Sales earns a percentage of sales on items successfully sold during the agreement.

Commission rates are based on the size of your estate and your desired outcome.
Your exact rate is provided at the free consultation.
Our commission fee covers professional services required to organize, present, market, and manage a successful sale.

We review the property before recommending a plan.
This allows us to determine whether an estate sale is practical, and provide pricing based on the actual scope of work.

After reviewing the property, we'll recommend the service—or combination of services—that best supports your priorities.

Pricing:
Based on the labor, volume, disposal needs, donations, and property access.
Some assets require specialized research, marketing, or additional sales channels and come with separate compensation fees.
✔️ Vehicles
✔️ Golf carts
✔️ Real estate
✔️ Fine Jewelry
✔️ Collectibles
✔️ Specialty collections
✔️ Other premium assets
Any separate fee or compensation arrangement will be discussed and approved before the asset is marketed.

We'll walk through the property, learn what matters most to your family, and evaluate the belongings and work involved.
You'll receive a recommended approach, pricing structure, and next-steps—with no cost or obligation.

We review the belongings, spaces, access, and preparation needs.

We explain the recommended service, pricing structure, timeline, and responsibilities.
Do you charge anything upfront?
There is no upfront commission payment for a qualifying estate sale. Other requested services or outside expenses will be explained before work begins.
What percentage do you charge?
The rate is based on the estate’s inventory, preparation requirements, expected labor, location, and timeline. Your exact rate is provided after the free consultation.
What if the estate does not have enough items for a sale?
We may recommend a buyout, cleanout, online selling, or a combined transition plan instead.
How are vehicles and golf carts handled?
Specialty assets may be marketed separately under a compensation structure approved in advance.
When do we receive the proceeds?
All proceeds from the estate sale will be issued to the executor within 48 hours of completion of the project less approved commission fees and expenses.
Only when specifically included in your written service proposal.
Exclusive cleanout pricing depends on the labor and disposal required.
