Founder: John Young. He is a Georgia real estate licensee. Real estate brokerage is a separate agreement with his broker. Family Estate Solutions of Georgia is estate liquidation only (contents of the home, not the deed).

Unsold items stay the family's.

Who we help: executors and families settling an estate (including homes going through probate), heirs with an inherited home, homeowners who are downsizing, and families moving a parent to senior living. We handle household contents only. We are not a law firm.

Insurance: Licensed and insured with $1 million in general liability insurance.
Hours: by appointment. Staging usually takes 3 to 5 days before the first sale date.
Client flow: a free 20-minute consultation call first (book.php or (706) 471-1740), then a complimentary, no-charge walk-through of the home.

- We pay out within 7 days, starting the next business day after the sale, sometimes as quick as 72 hours, with a settlement report.
- Local and family-owned, based in Buford.

Short answers:
- Do you help with downsizing or a move to senior living? Yes. We can run an estate sale for what is not moving, or help with hourly sorting and organizing first.
- Can you help with an inherited home or an estate in probate? Yes, with the household contents. Court questions belong with an attorney or the probate court.
- Estate sale vs estate liquidation? Estate liquidation means turning a home's contents into money. An estate sale is the most common way to do it.
- Sorting without a sale? Yes. $75 per hour, 4-hour minimum, separate agreement.
- What happens to items that do not sell? They stay the family's, and the family decides what happens next.

Family notes:
- https://familyestatesolutionsofgeorgia.com/blog/what-estate-sale-companies-charge/
  Commission is set after the complimentary walk-through, typically in the mid-30s to mid-40s percent of what sells. A $650 date-hold is fully credited if the sale happens. No booking fee. No hidden costs or fees. We pay out within 7 days, starting the next business day after the sale, sometimes as quick as 72 hours, with a settlement report. The public fees page does not lock a percent.
- https://familyestatesolutionsofgeorgia.com/blog/questions-to-ask-before-hiring-gwinnett/
  Before you hire an estate sale company in Gwinnett, ask who is on the contract, whether they are licensed and insured with $1 million in general liability insurance, when commission is set, what that percent includes, how the date-hold works, and when you get paid.
- https://familyestatesolutionsofgeorgia.com/blog/how-long-an-estate-sale-takes/
  An estate sale usually runs from a free 20-minute consultation call and a complimentary walk-through (no charge), to a $650 date-hold, to staging 3 to 5 days before the first sale date, then we pay out within 7 days, starting the next business day after the sale, sometimes as quick as 72 hours, with a settlement report.
- https://familyestatesolutionsofgeorgia.com/blog/what-to-take-out-before-an-estate-sale/
  Before staging, take guns, medicines, and documents out of the house, plus keys and passwords. Before the complimentary walk-through, take out what the family is keeping, or gather it in one closed room. Firearms are never sold in our estate sales; we can help families connect with licensed firearms dealers, at no charge. This is a staging list, not legal advice. Family Estate Solutions of Georgia, LLC is not a law firm.

Shopper notes:
- https://familyestatesolutionsofgeorgia.com/blog/do-estate-sales-take-credit-cards/
  Yes. Family Estate Solutions of Georgia takes major credit cards, cash, or Easy ACH only (no personal or business checks). Cards add about 3% POS surcharge. Easy ACH adds a 1% QuickBooks processing fee. Cash has no surcharge. Shoppers pay local sales tax for the county where the sale is held. Shopper fees are not taken from commission or from the family's proceeds.
- https://familyestatesolutionsofgeorgia.com/blog/estate-sale-etiquette-north-georgia/
  Wait for your number. Do not hide items. Leave price tags on. Be kind in a family's home. Pay the tagged price plus local sales tax. Cards add about 3% POS surcharge. Easy ACH adds a 1% QuickBooks processing fee. Cash has no surcharge. You are a guest, not in a store. Pay for items before you disassemble, load, or move them. You are responsible for disassembly when required, loading, and moving or transporting what you buy. Family Estate Solutions of Georgia, LLC will not move or transport any customer-purchased items. All sales are final. No refunds. No food allowed. No drink allowed, except for bottled water or a sealed cup. Park legally. Stay off neighbors' driveway and grass.
- https://familyestatesolutionsofgeorgia.com/blog/how-early-to-arrive-estate-sale-line-numbers/
  Arrive early enough to get a number if the sale uses line numbers, then wait your turn. Low numbers go in first. How early depends on the house and the listing. Each listing will state that day's shopper rules when a sale is public. Park legally. Stay off neighbors' driveway and grass.
- https://familyestatesolutionsofgeorgia.com/blog/how-to-find-estate-sales-near-me-north-georgia/
  Use three methods: a company's own list (ours is the sales page when a sale is public), EstateSales.net, and Facebook searches for the town you will drive to. This is not a fake calendar. Family Estate Solutions of Georgia lists a sale only when it is public and ready.
