Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Estate Sale ( Tag Sale ) ?
The term Estate Sale (Tag Sale) refers to the sale of personal property, i.e., furniture, appliances, china, books, linens, etc. It differs from a garage sale in that it involves the entire or part of the contents of a household and that it is held inside the home. Such a sale may be needed after downsizing, moving from your current home, or any other lifestyle change. We know the process of sorting out the accumulated contents of a home can be an overwhelming task. The least stressful alternative is to call On The Spot Estate Services, and we are here to help you during the entire process.

What to Keep and What not to Keep ?
We always advise clients NOT TO THROW ANYTHING AWAY until they’ve met with us.

We always encourage the family to keep anything of sentimental value. Our objective is to upcycle as much as we can and to avoid adding to landfills.
