We’re looking for reliable, detail-oriented team members who enjoy hands-on work, variety in their day, and being part of a supportive, fast-paced team.

Position Overview

As an Estate Sale Associate , you’ll assist with both online auction preparation and on-site estate sales . This role is ideal for someone who enjoys organizing, working with unique items, helping customers, and being on their feet.

No two days are the same — one day you may be photographing collectibles for online bidding, and another day you’ll be assisting customers at an in-person estate sale.

  • Able to lift up to 40 lbs with assistance

  • Strong attention to detail and organization

  • Friendly, professional demeanor with customers and clients

  • Comfortable using a smartphone (photos, basic apps) with unlimited data.

What We Offer

  • Competitive hourly pay: Employees typically start between $14–$17 per hour , depending on experience, with opportunities to earn up to $20 per hour based on performance and skill development. - 
  • Additional compensation: Team members are eligible for performance-based team bonuses when estate sales meet or exceed established targets.
  • Flexible scheduling (weekday prep + weekends)

  • Variety — no repetitive shifts or environments

  • Opportunity to learn estate sales, online auctions, and resale markets

  • Supportive team and clear expectations

Schedule Expectations

  • While hours may vary slightly based on the size and scope of each estate, a typical work week generally looks like this:

  • Sunday and Monday: Off

  • Tuesday & Wednesday: Core hours 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
    (Occasionally may extend to 4:00 or 5:00 PM depending on workload)

  • Thursday: Half day or off , if prep work is complete

  • Friday: 7:00 AM – 2:00 PM (In-person estate sale day)

  • Saturday: 7:00 AM – 2:00 PM (In-person estate sale day/Online Pickup Day)

Why This Role Works

If you enjoy:

  • Hands-on work
  • Organizing and staging

  • Unique items and collectibles

  • A mix of independent and team-based tasks
    this position is a great fit.
