Downsizing, Remodeling, or Moving?

In this “hot” Pasadena real estate market, every member of my team is integral to making each transaction as simple and effortless as possible. Sometimes the simplest things can be overlooked in the hectic times preparing for a move. P.E. Deans Consignment store in Sierra Madre is part of my real estate team for many reasons.

Downsizing, remodeling, or moving?

So you have some great furniture, mirrors, lamps, and accessories that you can no longer use. They’re too good to donate, the kids can’t use them and you just don’t have the space for them. What should you do?

Have a yard sale? Post to Craigslist? List on eBay?

The truth is, you have decided you don’t really want to deal with those options, or you’ve tried them all. The people at the yard sale offered $5 for something you marked $100 (which you spent $500 for originally), they showed up at 6 a.m. when you specifically advertised not before 8 a.m., and after all of the fun you had to drag the remaining items back into the garage.

When you put something on Craigslist, you got some very strange calls, a little scary, or none at all. When you put something on eBay, you forgot to calculate the shipping properly and the freight came out to be more than the cost of the goods.

A consignment store is a great option, specifically P. E. Deans in Sierra Madre. Yes, you do have to share the sales price, but a good consignment store will probably get a much better price than you ever could, and we do all of the work.

We work hard to make your items look the best they possibly can. We cover scratches, we polish, and we set up room vignettes with other great merchandise. We advertise in print and online. We attract customers that are looking for quality and we give them the customer service needed to close the sale and then you get your check.
