Quick answer
In Overland Park, an estate sale company usually sorts, prices, advertises and runs a sale in the home for a commission on what sells. Before you sign, compare two or three companies, check references and insurance, and read the contract for fees and what happens to unsold items. Check any HOA rules on sales, signs and parking.
