    EstateSaleFinder is all-in-one estate sale software for estate sale companies. One account covers client leads and a CRM pipeline, pre-sale walkthrough reports, Ai item identification and price suggestions from real sold data, branded price-label printing on Avery sheets or thermal rolls, a scan-to-checkout register with tax and card fees that writes to your sale ledger, buyer messaging with Ai auto-reply, early offers, and marketing through Ai social posts and your own email newsletter. Publishing a sale is free; the CRM, newsletter, website embeds, and Ai Social Media Studio are part of the Pro plan.

    Chapter 1

    Win the job.

    Leads, a client pipeline, an on-site walkthrough, and a plan for the sale — everything that happens before a single item gets priced.

    Leads

    Leads built to convert — not to be shared.

    Most platforms blast the same lead to every company in your zip code. We don't. When a homeowner reaches out through EstateSaleFinder, we match them to the company that fits their estate, their timeline, and their location — and we send that lead to you, and you only.

    Every inquiry comes with the homeowner's contact info so they can reach you directly — no portals, no middleman, no chasing. Our job isn't to drip leads into your inbox. Our job is to make the connection happen.

    Targeted, not blasted

    Sample preview — your real leads appear in the Leads tab of your seller dashboard.

    CRM · Pro

    A client pipeline built for estate sales.

    Every homeowner who reaches out becomes a card you can move from first contact to booked. Our CRM tracks each lead through New, Contacted, Walkthrough, Quoted, Booked, and Won — so nothing slips through the cracks and you always know what to do next. It's the only estate sale CRM that connects your leads, walkthroughs, and sales in one place.

    Drag clients through every stage — New → Contacted → Walkthrough → Quoted → Booked → Won

    Leads from your listings, hire requests, and referrals all land in one pipeline

    Shared with your whole team so everyone sees the latest status

    Pre-Sale Walkthrough

    Know if a sale is worth taking — before you commit.

    Before you sign a contract, run the Pre-Sale Walkthrough on your phone right at the home. Answer a guided checklist about the contents, condition, access, and competition, and get a clear read on whether the sale is worth your time. No more driving away from a job that was never going to be profitable.

    Guided checklist you fill out on-site in minutes

    Sale Playbook

    Your sale, planned step by step.

    The moment you finish a walkthrough, we build a Sale Playbook — an auto-generated to-do list tailored to that specific sale, plus a full post-sale recap. Staging, pricing, advertising, staffing, and cleanout tasks are all laid out so you and your team never miss a step.

    Ai Pricing

    Ai suggests a price for every item.

    This is where we blow the competition out of the water. Upload your photos and our Ai identifies every item, writes detailed descriptions, and suggests fair prices based on real eBay sold data and top marketplaces — so you don't have to guess or research for hours. The price is always a suggestion to help you. You decide what to actually sell it for. Want the manual playbook too?

    Tag an entire house without a laptop. Pick one of four label designs, add your logo and contact details, then print to Avery sheets or a thermal roll printer — Dymo, Zebra, and Brother roll sizes are built in. Every label can carry a QR code or barcode, and we check the printed code size so phones actually scan it.

    Camera scanning adds items to the cart and warns you if one is already sold

    Dollar or percent discounts, sales tax, and card service charges calculated for you

    Estate sale software, answered.

    The questions estate sale companies ask us most.

    What is estate sale software?

    An all-in-one platform that helps estate sale companies create and publish sales, photograph and price inventory with Ai, manage client leads in a CRM pipeline, run pre-sale walkthroughs, message buyers, and market through social posts and email newsletters — replacing spreadsheets and a stack of separate tools.

    Does EstateSaleFinder include a CRM for estate sale companies?

    Yes. The Pro plan includes a full client pipeline (New, Contacted, Walkthrough, Quoted, Booked, Won), a pre-sale walkthrough report that scores whether a sale is worth taking, an auto-generated Sale Playbook, and a 1-year anniversary follow-up to keep past clients coming back through word of mouth.

    How does the Ai suggest prices for items?

    Upload your photos and the Ai identifies each item, writes a description, and suggests a fair price based on real eBay sold data and top marketplaces. Every price is a suggestion to help you decide — you stay in full control of the final price.

    Can I print price labels and barcodes for an estate sale?

    Yes. The Label Maker prints branded price labels from your item list on Avery sheets or thermal roll printers (Dymo, Zebra, Brother), with an optional QR code or barcode on each tag, four label designs, saved custom looks, and a print-ready PDF export sized to your label stock.

    Can I check shoppers out on sale day?

    Yes. The built-in register lets you scan an item's QR code or barcode to add it to a cart, apply dollar or percent discounts, add sales tax and card service charges, record one of nine payment methods, and optionally collect a newsletter sign-up. Sold items update on the live listing and every transaction is written to the sale ledger.

    Can I market my sales with social media and email?

    Yes. The Ai Social Media Studio generates posts (single sale, multi-sale roundup, company brand posts, and storefront items) with captions, hashtags, and branded images. The built-in Newsletter sends branded email campaigns to subscribers who opted in to your future sales.

    How much does it cost?

    You can create and publish sales for free. Pro features — the CRM pipeline, website embeds, newsletters, and the Ai Social Media Studio — are part of the Pro plan. See the pricing page for current rates.
