Here is a little bit of info about our process!!!

In-Home online only estate sale

Commission- we take 45% commission of the total hammer price of the sale.
The Set Up Day:It typically takes us 1 day to set up. Meaning, we will go through the entire home, open every door, every drawer, all cabinets, attic (if it says so on the contract) backyard, front yard, and tag everything with a lot number- the only things we do not sell unless instructed otherwise would be the things hardwired to the home and of course things like built in cabinets, etc.  Everything else should be marked with blue tape so we know that it is NOT FOR SALE.

- On "set up day" we will group certain items together that will have a hard time selling on their own. For example - coffee cups, old clothes, cd's, kitchen utensils, plastic ware, books, linens, yard tools, random knick knacks, bathroom items, cleaning supplies, junk drawers, random hand tools, etc.
We will sell other items on their own that will do just fine as a single item lot. For example - KitchenAid stand mixer, Flat screen TV, name brand handbags, designer clothes, Waterford crystal, collectible items, etc.

- Then the auctioneer will tag everything with lot numbers, and photograph all of the lots.  At this point we are finished with the setup process. -The auctioneer will then take those pictures and list them online with descriptions and publish them to the aforementioned sites.

After the set up day here is what happens next :- After the auctioneer publishes the auction; the bidding process will start. Remember- tons of people will go ahead and look at the auction online, click the "watch button" or place small bids, but will likely not bid until the auction gets closer to the time of closing; most of the major bidding happens the night the auction closes, sometimes in the last minutes. Bidders seem to all have the same "strategy" ... often waiting until the very end as to not show all their "hands" too soon. 

Remember, we do not guarantee what items might sell for; there may be items that you thought should have sold for more BUT there will be a lot of items that you will be surprised how much money they brought in. You never know what people are willing to spend their hard earned money on! It only takes 2 people to get into a bidding war and one item can be extended out for hours with back and forth bidding (it's fun to watch).

- Once the auction closes, we will charge everyone's credit cards. Once we have the payments taken care of, we will send an email with important information to only those buyers with a PAID invoice . The buyers who have completed payment are the only people that will receive the address, pickup date/times and the team leader's phone number that will be working the buyer pickup day.  The address will not be shared all over the internet like most traditional estate sales; this is a huge security issue for someone with a vacant home.

Buyer Pick Up Day:- We will send the team leader and our pickup team to the house on the scheduled buyer pick up day. They will arrive around 9/930am to get familiar with the house, see where the lot numbers start and stop in each room, and they will pull all of the shipping requests.- Around 10 am, the buyers will start showing up. They will text the team leader with their name, make, model and color of their vehicle. The team leader will pull their invoice out and hand it off to a "runner". The runner will go around the house and gather all of the lots the buyer won. They will then take everything out to the buyer's vehicles. If the buyer has purchased something heavy, large, or fragile we will have them come inside with their appropriate moving equipment and a team member will supervise them to ensure they do not wander around the house, touch things they shouldn't and so forth. 

- The buyer pickup day usually concludes around 5:30 pm. At that point if someone has not shown up to get the items they won, the items will be considered forfeited and you are free to do as you wish with these items (keep/toss/reconsign). We do not give refunds to people that choose not to show up to get their items, it's not fair to you as the homeowner or us as the seller; it is very rare that a situation arises that would require us to come back after pickup day to allow the buyer access. If an extenuating circumstance arises and we require this; we would arrange this with you to ensure you are aware and that you approve.

- Once the auction has closed it takes us about 14 business days to finish the accounting and then we will mail the check(s) and the itemized list(s) to the address on the contract.

We conduct multiple online only auctions every week and we have customers all over the globe.  We partnered with a local shipping company and they ship items to customers professionally on our behalf!   

The auction is usually online for 5 to 7 days and previews are available to the public.  We advertise the sales on several national platforms such as estatesale.com, estatesales.net and estatesales.org as well as hibid, and many other auction websites.  We also send out emails weekly to our past bidders to notify them of upcoming sales.

Here are some things to consider...

We can also assist with liquidation of gold and silver as well as high end jewelry.  A lot of our competitors have a "guy" that they sell to.  Basically a guy that gives them a set price for gold and silver and then he sells it to a refinery.  We are that "guy".  

We have direct refinery resources and we can always get more for gold and silver.  There isn't a middleman with us.  

We have been in the resale business for over 10 years.  We have sold tens of thousands of items.

If you do not have an entire house full of items; you are always welcome to consign just a few items or maybe a collection of items.  You can bring these items to us directly to our location where we conduct 4 or more online only auction every week.  Items brought in to us are at a reduced commission rate of 25%.  To start this process, email pics of what you would like to consign to tylergraceauctions@gmail.com

Here's the electronic drop off contract 

https://signnow.com/s/uisoS78q

"I have been absolutely blown away by the professionalism, thoroughness, and integrity of the people at A to Z Estate Sales. They contacted me in my role as Director of Texas Art at Heritage Auctions while working on a local Estate. They has come across a dusty old painting many in their business might have overlooked. However, they did their homework and due diligence by carefully researching the piece. They soon discovered it might be an important Texas painting. They then contacted me regarding the piece, since they knew such an important item should be sold through a major auction rather than an estate sale. They got it to me within hours to ensure it was covered under our insurance ASAP. They then trusted me as far as estimates, reserves, and sale strategy and allowed me to place the estimate I thought would garner the most competition at auction. Ultimately, the painting sold for $400,000+ and, after not having wanted to raise expectations too much got tell their client it sold for thousands over the estimate. Basically, they did everything right as far as finding the best venue for the item. This shows me that they can be trusted to carefully vet everything they sell at and make sure it reaches the proper market. You can't ask anything better than that from an estate company...they really know what they are doing!"  Atlee Phillips, Heritage Auctions Texas Art Director, Dallas TX

Our history and transformation from A to Z to TGA!

A to Z Estate Sales was established in 2013 by Amanda and Zoey both prior military Veterans that served in the United States Air Force as Medics until 2007.  Amanda was born and raised in DFW and after returning from the Air Force she wanted to return home and serve her community.  A to Z Estate Sales conducted traditional in home estate sales throughout the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex, the first year they conducted 1 to 2 sales a week and eventually as the years passed they began conducting 3 to 4 estate sales a week.  In 2016, they realized there was a growing need to help clients that were unable to have a traditional in person sale inside their home.  They began receiving several requests from clients who had entire estates in storage units, retirement communities, gated communities or home owner associations that did not allow in person estate sales open to the public.  

Once the need for other options became more prevalent they opened Tyler Grace Auctions of Addison Texas to help those clients that didn't fit into the "estate sale box".  Tyler Grace offered a 9k square foot venue that clients could have their items sold from through their online only platform weekly.  Around 2017 Tyler Grace became aware that they could reach a larger population by conducting their auctions completely online to people all over the world.  The numbers they began receiving for items grew as more people became aware of the opportunity to participate from home while sitting in their favorite comfy chair.  

However as their consignors grew in numbers they began to realize that space at the auction house may be an issue.  In 2018, Amanda and Zoey decided that the same online format may work well for their in-home traditional estate sale clients as well, offering a larger population access to estate sale items that they may have been unable to participate prior due to work constraints or other prior obligations.  This platform allowed them to help more people each week and sell more items all over DFW and all over the world.  

A to Z and Tyler Grace began to create a global audience!
