Kimbell-Brown helps executors and families organize, market and conduct professional estate sales to convert household contents into proceeds while reducing the work and stress of clearing an estate property.

Serving Northeast Ohio for more than 40 years, Kimbell-Brown conducts estate sales, tag sales and household liquidations for estates, families and individuals managing a significant collection of personal property. The company prepares items for sale, determines pricing, organizes and displays the contents, advertises the event and manages the sale from beginning to end.

Kimbell-Brown also offers online selling options when an in-home estate sale is not practical because of timing, property restrictions or the quantity of available items. Based in North Canton, the company primarily serves Stark County and surrounding Northeast Ohio communities.

What Kimbell-Brown can do for the estate

• Evaluate household contents and discuss whether an estate sale or tag sale is appropriate
• Sort, organize, clean, price and display furniture, antiques, collectibles and household goods
• Advertise the sale through signs, email, social media and national estate-sale websites
• Staff and manage an in-home estate sale from preparation through completion
• Accept customer payments and provide the estate with the resulting sale proceeds
• Offer online selling options when a traditional in-home sale is not feasible
• Help address remaining property through retention, donation, disposal or additional liquidation options

Helpful when

• An executor must liquidate the contents of a decedent’s home
• Family members have selected the possessions they intend to keep
• The estate contains furniture, jewelry, antiques, collectibles, tools or general household goods
• The property must be emptied before it can be sold, transferred or returned to a landlord
• The executor lives outside the area or cannot personally manage the sale
• Probate requirements or family circumstances make an orderly, documented process especially important
• Homeowners association rules, timing or limited inventory make online selling more practical

Executor note

Before scheduling an estate sale, confirm which property belongs to the estate and which items will be retained or distributed to beneficiaries. Executors should also preserve important records, photographs, legal documents, financial papers and personally significant items before the sale company begins organizing the remaining contents.
