WHY SHERIDAN?

-We Have No Conflict of Interest Issues

We do not own a brick and mortar store or sell on eBay.  This ensures that we do not use your home as a cheap inventory source.  We do not bring a caravan of our merchandise into your house to sell.  We do not claw back any proceeds from your sale by doing clean outs.  We do not buy out the merchandise that does not sell for pennies on the dollar.  We are not realtors, auctioneers, or part of a transition team.  We only conduct one sale a week, and we strive to be the best sale that week.  We do not compete with ourselves by conducting multiple sales.  Your sale gets our undivided attention.

–We Have a Sales Register System

We accept cash, mobile pay, and credit cards for all amounts.  We track all sales electronically through the Square system, backed up by paper invoices.  We use a credit card chip reader.

–We Carry Both Company, and Workman’s Compensation Insurance

We have the largest amount of insurance coverage on the North Shore.  We have actual employees and therefore have a workman’s compensation policy should anything happen to our people.  We do not have “independent” contractors or pay our employees from your sale proceeds or your merchandise.

-We do not have up front expenses you have to pay, or minimum fee requirements

Our business model is based on selling out your home.  You should never prepay any estate sale provider for any services.

–We are an Actual Company

We are registered to do business with both the Federal and Illinois governing bodies.  We are professionals.  Our employees draw W2 wages.  We keep your proceeds in an escrow account; not commingled with our working funds.

–We Have a Relationship With a Local and National Auction House

For those special items that we believe would sell for more than what we can receive from an estate sale we work with a well known auction house.

–We are a Member of the American Society of Estate Liquidators (ASEL)

ASEL is the #1 estate sale association in the U.S.  It expects its members to uphold standards of conduct combined with best practices as a measure of effectiveness and integrity in the estate sale industry. Less than 4% of Chicago area estate sale providers applied and were accepted to ASEL.  We are a member of ASEL.

These are why the City of Highland Park selected us as their preferred provider.

We are not the least expensive estate sale company in our market and we are not trying to be.                        We offer a relationship based on Trust, Knowledge, and Expertise.
