For estate sale companies
Catalogue the house in a day. Sell the leftovers all month.
An estate sale is a deadline with furniture in it. SECND gets a whole house catalogued from photos, runs the weekend, and turns whatever did not sell into online listings instead of a dump run.
What breaks first in estate sale companies
Cataloging is the bottleneck
The sale date is fixed. Every hour spent typing descriptions is an hour not spent staging, pricing or marketing.
The tail is left on the table
A meaningful share of every sale does not move over the weekend. Most of it goes to donation because listing it individually is not worth the labour.
Client settlement has to be defensible
You are accounting to a family, often an estate, sometimes a lawyer. The statement needs to hold up line by line.
How it runs on SECND
The same five steps, every item, whether it sells on the floor or on a marketplace.
- 1
Shoot the house
Photograph room by room on a phone. AI drafts titles, categories and descriptions for the whole batch while you keep moving.
- 2
Price with comps
Sold-price data on the pieces that matter, so the estate's silver and the mid-century furniture are not priced by instinct.
- 3
Tag and run the sale
Print tags, sell on-site through the register, and keep the catalogue current as the weekend runs.
- 4
Push the tail online
Everything unsold crosslists to eBay, Etsy and your storefront in one action on Sunday night.
- 5
Settle with the client
One ledger covering on-site and online sales, fees and your commission, with a statement you can hand over.
What you get
Batch cataloging from photos
A whole house drafted in a session rather than an item at a time.
Per-estate separation
Keep each estate's inventory, sales and settlement distinct even when two sales overlap.
On-site register
Run checkout at the house with barcode scanning and card payments.
Online tail sales
Unsold lots go to marketplaces and your storefront instead of to donation.
Client payout ledger
Auditable settlement across every channel the estate's items sold through.
Mobile-first field work
The catalogue is built on a phone in a house with bad wifi, not at a desk afterwards.
Estate Sale Companies: frequently asked questions
How fast can we actually catalogue a house?
The limit becomes how fast you can photograph, because drafting happens in the background. Teams typically move room by room on phones and review the drafted batch afterwards rather than writing descriptions in the field.
Can we keep two concurrent estates separate?
Yes. Inventory, sales and settlement are tracked per estate, so overlapping sales never blend into each other's numbers or each other's payouts.
What happens to items that do not sell at the sale?
They are already catalogued, so listing them online is a bulk action rather than a fresh project. That tail is usually where the margin improvement shows up first.
Is the client statement detailed enough for an estate?
The payout ledger records every sale, its channel, marketplace fees where applicable, and your commission, which gives you a line-by-line statement rather than a summary figure.
