About

Estate Sales are necessary for many reasons and we understand that. Whether it be the loss of a loved one, a moving sale, or simply just to downsize, we understand that every situation is unique. With this in mind, Estate Sales MN treats each sale with the utmost respect, professionalism, and hard work that our clients deserve. We get the job done at an incredibly high standard with efficiency and expertise in the field.

We are the much-needed new kid on the block that caters to the needs of our clients and not to the needs of local dealers and vintage shops.

Who We Are

Estate Sales MN was founded by myself (Kurt Pauley) and my wife Caila. We started this company because we have a passion for things unique, interesting, and usually old. I grew up on a farm in Iowa and went to estate sales with my Grandma Sharon and farm auctions with my Grandpa Neal every chance I could get. I have since had a passion for the excitement and buzz of an estate sales and that is what pushed me to start this company. Caila and I strive to give a memorable and rewarding experience to everyone involved with a sale. We love what we do and the people we work with. Yes, we are in the business to make money but above all, and most importantly, we find the real reward comes from the joy people get when they find their treasure.

As your can see from the picture of Paris above we LOVE to travel and that is probably our biggest passion in life. Other big passions are our dog Zara, experiencing cultures through their food, and living life to the fullest with the support and love of our family.

What Makes Us Different You Ask?

We give you more We have attended a large number of estate liquidation sales in Minnesota and have come to the realization that the service is almost always sub-par. It is our mission to change that and create a new experience for clients and customers alike.

Better Appraisals Our team of third-party, expert appraisers do all of the required due diligence to ensure the sale has the highest ROI as possible. If our appraisers are unsure on somethings value we will hire more outside experts to ensure we that each unique item is priced at market value. This is a crucial component of the service Estate Sales MN offers. Many of our competitors use their "experience" to price things and this often fails them and gives very low prices to dealers who in-turn mark the price up 400% or more. We believe our clients deserve more.

Credit Cards We collect and process all payments and will handle the allocation of revenue from the sale after the event is over. With a focus on efficiency in every aspect of our business we do this very promptly so all parties can move on. Estate Sales MN accepts credit cards at each sale to optimize each transaction and ensure our customers purchases are not limited to the amount of cash they have that day. Another perk of allowing credit cards is that we can decrease the amount of checks we take and avoid the risk of accepting a bad check.
