What is an estate sale?

An estate sale is the sale of personal property from a household, typically due to death, downsizing, divorce, or moving. Unlike garage sales, estate sales often include antiques, collectibles, furniture, jewelry, and artwork.

What Is EstateSaleFinder? A Letter From Our Founders, Andy & Jac

EstateSaleFinder is an Ai-powered platform for finding estate sales and for running the estate sale business behind them — not just a listing site, but a full toolkit that helps companies grow. In this heartfelt letter, founders Andy and Jac share what we're building, who it's for, why we're starting in Florida and Texas, and how you can be part of the beginning.

EstateSaleFinder is an Ai-powered platform for finding estate sales — and for running the business behind them. For treasure hunters, it's the easiest way to discover estate sales, vintage shops, and local sellers near you. For estate sale companies and sellers, it's not just another place to post a listing; it's a full set of tools — Ai pricing, a built-in CRM, a pre-sale walkthrough, marketing reports, keyword search, and wishlist alerts — built to help your business actually grow. We're Andy and Jac, the founders, and we wanted to tell you what we're building and why, in our own words.

A letter from Andy & Jac

Hi — we're Andy and Jac.

We want to start with a confession: we didn't build EstateSaleFinder because we saw a market opportunity on a spreadsheet. We built it because we fell in love with the hunt, and then we fell in love with the people on the other side of the table — the families letting go of a lifetime of things, and the estate sale companies who walk into those homes and handle it all with more care than anyone realizes.

Somewhere between showing up before dawn to a sale and watching a company owner photograph three hundred items by hand at midnight, it hit us. Both sides of this world deserved something better than what existed. Buyers deserved a real way to *find* the sales. And the companies — the small, hardworking businesses that make estate sales happen — deserved real tools, not just another website to shout their listing into.

So we built it. This letter is us telling you exactly what "it" is.

What is EstateSaleFinder, really?

EstateSaleFinder is two things at once, and that's on purpose.

For the treasure hunter, it's the map to the good stuff. You can search estate sales, garage sales, vintage shops, and local sellers near you, plan a route that hits them all in one morning, save favorites, and even set a wishlist alert for a specific item — a certain Pyrex pattern, a mid-century dresser, a first-pressing record — so we ping you the moment one shows up nearby. And it's free for buyers. Always.

For the estate sale company or seller, it's the operating system your business never had. And this is the part we most want you to hear:

This is not just a listing website

We need to say that plainly, because most tools in this space are just a directory — you pay to post, and you hope the right person scrolls by. That's not us.

EstateSaleFinder is packed with tools built to help your estate sale company grow, most of them impossible to find anywhere else in one place:

Ai item pricing from real sold data. Snap a photo and our Ai identifies the item and pulls what things *actually sold for* — not hopeful asking prices — so you price with confidence instead of guessing. (Every price is a suggestion, always yours to override.)
A full CRM and client pipeline. Every lead, walkthrough, contract, and past client lives in one place. The house you tour today becomes a tracked lead, then a signed client, then a completed sale — without re-typing a thing.
A Pre-Sale Walkthrough that protects your margin. Turn a house tour into an upfront profitability report — it scores the difficulty, recommends your crew size, and estimates real earnings *before* you sign the contract.
A Sale Marketing Report. For every sale, we read your inventory and hand you a tailored plan of where to advertise and which items to feature — so you market like a pro without the guesswork.
Keyword search and wishlist alerts that reach new buyers. We pull in a whole new generation of buyers who never went to estate sales — the collector hunting for exactly what's in your sale gets pulled right to your door.
Booths, storefronts, newsletters, embeds, and more — the pieces that let a small operation look and run like a big one.

We charge 0% commission on your sales. You keep everything you earn. Our job is to hand you better tools and more buyers — not to take a cut of your hard work.

Who is EstateSaleFinder for?

It's for the weekend treasure hunter who just wants to find the good sales without checking five websites. It's for the reseller, the picker, the antique dealer, and the interior designer sourcing real pieces. It's for the homeowner going through a downsizing, a move, or a loss, who needs to find a trustworthy company. And it's for the estate sale companies and sellers themselves — the beating heart of this whole thing — who deserve tools that respect how hard the work really is.

If you love the hunt, or you make the hunt possible, this was built for you.

Why are you only in two states right now?

Because we'd rather do this *right* than do it everywhere.

We're focused today on Florida and Texas — two states with vibrant, active estate sale communities — so we can work closely with real companies and real buyers, listen hard, fix what's clumsy, and make the platform genuinely great before we scale it. Growing carefully in two states means every early member gets a product shaped partly by *them*, not a thin version stretched across fifty states on day one.

What are you doing to grow?

Our plan is simple and it's ambitious: go nationwide as soon as we responsibly can. Every week we're adding sales, onboarding companies, sharpening the tools, and expanding city by city.

But here's the honest truth — the fastest way we grow is *with you.* Every buyer who signs up, every company that lists a sale, every person who tells a friend makes the map fuller and the community stronger. That's why we've made it genuinely easy to join in:

It's free to sign up and use. Buyers are free forever, and we will always offer a free account for sellers.
Sellers get a 60-day free trial of our paid tools, exactly as it's built today — plenty of time to run real sales and see the difference for yourself.
No commission, ever. You keep what you earn.

Come be part of the start

Every good thing starts small, with a group of people who believed in it early. This is that moment for EstateSaleFinder.

If you've read this far, we think you might be one of those people. So here's our invitation: come get in at the beginning. Find your next treasure, or grow your business with tools built by people who genuinely love this world. Either way, you'll be helping build something that makes the whole estate sale community better — and you'll have been here since the start.

Create your free account and come find something. We can't wait to have you with us.
