How MaxSold Transformed my Clients' Clutter into Cash

We all know the feeling of being overwhelmed by unneeded possessions cluttering our homes. As a realtor, I have encountered numerous clients grappling with this challenge. However, several years ago I stumbled upon a game-changing solution that not only cleared the clutter but also turned my clients' unwanted items into thousands of dollars. Enter MaxSold, a revolutionary online auction platform that has transformed the way we approach downsizing and estate sales

MaxSold offers a seamless and efficient process for selling unwanted possessions. With a few clicks, my clients are able to list their items, attract eager buyers, and watch as the bids rolled in. The convenience of the online platform meant that we could reach a wide audience of potential buyers without the hassle of hosting physical yard sales or managing individual sales transactions.

MaxSold offers two tiers of service, your auction can either be self managed or fully managed by the company. In both options MaxSold handles all the advertising, bidding, invoicing, and payments.

MaxSold Managed Auctions:

When MaxSold manages an auction, they take care of everything from start to finish. The client just lets them know what to include or exclude from the sale. The entire process from start to empty house takes about 2 weeks. Maxsold charges a fee of $2000 + 30% of gross sales.

Self Managed Auctions:

In a self managed auction, the client is responsible for photographing and cataloging their auction lot themselves. MaxSold recently revamped their mobile app and cataloging site to make this process easy and streamlined. Maxsold advertises the auction, manages the bidding, handles the payment processing and scheduling the times for pick up. Once the auction ends the client is then responsible for giving the winning bidders their items on the pre-selected pick up day and time. MaxSold charges a 30% fee for this service (min $300).

Things to consider when deciding to sell on MaxSold
