Our Services
Personal possessions have a way of accumulating quickly. A well-lived life is often accompanied by a collection of items to match the meaningful moments and memories. However, there often comes a time when the collection may be more than any one person can continue to handle.
When it’s time to make a move or clear out a home that’s brimming over with personal belongings, professional assistance is key to making the process seamless and profitable. The experts at Nordeast Resale in Minneapolis help customers find a fresh start through an innovative estate sale online auction that reaches an impressively wide audience of buyers.
After doing estate sales in the traditional way for about 8 years me and my partner Alex decided it was time for a change.
This was our Old routine:
Research and pricing: Researching the price on every item can be VERY tedious, and depending on the amount of items, it can take weeks. This is the most time consuming and laborious part. Actually going through and putting price tags on every item afterwards adds yet another layer of time.
Staging: Clearing the house and setting up all tables and displays in a nice and tidy manner to appease oncoming patrons. This is always a stressful moment for the estate representative, especially if they are still living there!
The Sale itself: Droves of strangers come trampling through your estate, touching, eyeing, breathing on everything. Its always a liability having that many strangers in your house. In the current climate, the obvious threat is covid-19. Having that many people enclosed in your home is not a good idea!
The sale lasts for a meager 3 day window and prices are cut in half day, by day. On the very last day of the sale items are priced so cheap someone could come in with a couple hundred dollars and buy half the estate that hasn’t sold!
Photography – We have a handful of professional photographers on staff that will come out to your estate, all wearing proper covid -19 protection for both of your safety. Our photographers will take photos of all items deemed sellable by the estate representative. We will group items together and sell the seperately depending on each items value. This process can take 1-2 days depending on the amount of stuff needed to sell.
The auction – After photographing all of the items we list them on an our online auction house. Each item then gains visibility from our 350,000 subscribed users. They will be bidding on your items raising the price with each bid they make. We run the auction for a 7-10 day window depending on how much exposure the estate representative would like your items to get and how much time you have before you want to wrap things up.
The Pick up – we schedule a one day pick up window were all bid winners can come and pick up their items. They are all required to wear masks upon entering the estate premises. We will be onsite facilitating the process in which we hand off the items to their respective owners.
The clean up – It is very rare that there are items left over after the auction but we will come to an agreement of how to dispose or sell the remaining items if it comes to that.
Collect your money! We will pay you out within 1 week of the pick up.

%99 of our estate sales can be done within two weeks from photography to the last pick up day. Our business model allows us to conduct several estate sales simultaneously so our turn around time is also speedy. We do not have to schedule you 2 – 3 months out like many traditional estate sale companies. We can usually fit you into our schedule and get the ball moving within a week of signing a contract with us!
Due to our enormous online user base of 350,000 and counting. Your items will have a tremendous amount of visibility. Instead of the handful of hagglers that come to find thrifty deals, you will be exposed to hundreds and thousands of users that will bid and compete for your items. Many times bidding wars will ensue that drive the prices up to crazy levels!
The obvious Covid Saftey factor is minimizing contact with the buyer. The fact that %90 of this process is done virtually minimizes your exposure to strangers and large groups of people congregating in your house. All of our staff that will be on site will ALWAYS be wearing proper Covid-19 PPE. We also require that all of the bid winners coming to pick up their items wear a mask. Additionaly, you will not be interacting with the customers as our staff will be facilitating the pick-up process with the bid winners themselves!
You can continue to live in your estate during the whole process! Apart from slightly adjusting some items to get better angles for photos, your life will essentially be undisturbed. You can choose to stay on or off of the property while we conduct the estate sale process.the bid winners themselves!
Many Estate sale companies will heavily scrutinize what inventory you have to sell, and only if it checks all the boxes on their list will they consider you as a client. They typically have a lot of overhead and can only take either “big estates” or “estates with valuable things”. Our doors are open to everyone! No matter how big or small we will work our hardest to find a spot for you.
In the modern age, moving estate sales and commercial liquidation sales online are directly linked to an increased demand for the items being sold. Not only does this digital route allow for a wider audience to enjoy visibility to auction items, but the platform provides for more flexibility when more buying time is needed.
In general, online shopping tends to be a more convenient route for buyers. A digital marketplace provides your auction audience with the time they need to browse as many items as possible without any barriers in the way of physically having to be at a location to peruse.

Testimonials
THANK YOU Nordeast Resale!!!! I honestly can’t believe how much money we made with all of my grandma’ s stuff! I was a little hesitant to hold an online auction because I feared I wouldn’t get top dollar.. Some stuff sold for a little cheaper than expected. BUT…. LITERALLY everything SOLD. I mean everything! I was amazed I made WAY more than I thought. Also, the whole process was very quick and painless. Jeff came in took photos of everything and 10 days later people came by one by one to pick up items and then it was over! So much better than having hundereds of people trample though your house during times where disease can spread easily !! I can’t Thank Nordeast Resale enough for what they have done for me. I was in desperate need of some financial assistance and this is has helped me more than they know!!
Great Job! The sale went very well. I was so pleased with the preparation and the set up by your team. You are true professionals at what you do. Very pleased with EVERYTHING!!!! Thank You
I was extremely overwhelmed when I had to clear out the clutter & extremely nice things from my Aunt’s & Uncle’s home in Silver Spring. Nordeast resale came to our rescue. Alex not only got rid of the 50 years of hoarding, but he was able to identify so many older items, furniture, dishes, crystal, silver, Jewelry, coins, pictures… you name it. The sale was organized and held ONLINE.. this day and age with covid-19.. it was a god send. Only the people that purchased the items online were able to come through the house wearing masks.. Afterwards, the house was swept and cleaned out. Everyone working was also covid COMPLIANT.. I was very impressed.… I just hope the people who bought the items know how much they were cherished by my Aunt & Uncle! A big thanks to all, especially Alex!
When looking for an Estate Sale Company, I was very impressed with Nordeast Resale when Alex came out for the consultation. They made me feel that I could trust them with the care of my father’s Estate. Their knowledge and professionalism was amazing to me. The staff was also helpful and helped me through this time. I ended up with much higher profits than I had ever imagined. They exceeded my expectations, two thumbs up.
