As part of our Atlanta auction company services, we also provide a broom sweep & clean out service. Many of our clients use this service because it leaves the location in a clean and sellable condition. This service is often accompanied with our outright purchase option. The outright purchase option is when the entire contents of the estate are purchased upfront allowing the clients to receive immediate payment. The outright purchase includes packing, handling, and trucking all items. Clients who need immediate cash and want to avoid paperwork usually choose this option.
