Honest Numbers. No Surprises. Nothing Left Vague.
When you’re comparing estate sale companies, commission percentage is usually the first thing people ask about.
It’s a fair question. But it’s not the only one that matters.
A company charging 5% less than us with no inventory tracking, no electronic reporting, and a handwritten tally at the end may cost you more in the long run. Not because they’re dishonest, but because informal systems produce inconsistent results.
We charge a fair commission. We also show our work.
How Our Commission Works
Our commission is a percentage of total gross sales straightforward, performance-based, and agreed upon before we ever touch your estate.
The exact rate depends on:
- Estate size and inventory volume
- Complexity of items involved
- Staffing requirements
- Timeline and logistics
- Security considerations
All of this is discussed openly during your consultation. No surprises at the settlement.
What You Actually Get at the End
When the sale closes and reconciliation is complete, you receive a documented settlement that includes:
- Total gross sales – every dollar collected
- Itemized sales report — what sold and at what price
- Commission calculation — exactly what we earned
- Any applicable expenses — disclosed upfront, not deducted quietly
- Final net proceeds — your check, with the math shown
Not a ballpark. Not a handshake. A document.
The Controls Behind the Numbers
Here’s what makes our reporting reliable:
- Barcoded tracking on high-value inventory
- Electronic transaction recording throughout the sale
- Professional-grade cash counting equipment
- Counterfeit detection
- Digital reconciliation before settlement
These aren’t features we advertise to sound impressive. They’re how we make sure the number on your check is correct.
A Word From Jerry
Before founding SATX Select Liquidators, I co-owned an estate liquidation company that managed over 300 sales in the San Antonio area. I watched how informal accounting played out, not out of bad intentions, but because systems simply weren’t built for accuracy.
I built this company specifically to fix that. Financial clarity isn’t a bonus here. It’s the baseline.
Questions to Ask Any Estate Sale Company
Before you sign with anyone, including us ask these:
- How do you track what sells?
- How is cash verified at the end of each day?
- What documentation do I receive at settlement?
- How are discrepancies handled?
If the answers are vague, that’s your answer.
