What We Do

By selecting Fecit Antiques and Estates, it’s as easy as handing over the key and letting us do the work.

We have handled hundreds of sales and have this business down to a science. We know how to price accordingly and research items quickly.

Once we execute a contract, our team gets to work immediately to photograph the items included in the estate sale. The advertising process starts right away for maximum exposure for the sale. Experience shows the more exposure online the better the sale result.

Our team advertises the sale on EstateSales.net; Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, Threads and Instagram. We are original in our marketing with our AI technology – a very successful marketing tool. We have an extensive list of buyers and dealers and our extensive advertising and marketing always insures a good crowd.

We use street signs during the sale to help draw in new customers and help direct our existing customers to us.

These services are ALL INCLUDED in our percentage.

We are original and differ from other estate sale companies in that we offer your items for sale online prior to the onsite sale and allow by-appointment shoppers while the home is being prepared for the sale. This business model sets us apart from other companies as it allows for a longer period of time for customers to purchase your treasures at premium pricing. Our clients have been very pleased with this approach as it maximizes revenue and our customers appreciate being able to buy what they love immediately. It is a win-win for clients and customers.

We want to insure the we get our clients the maximum exposure for their items and our team transforms the home through setup and staging of the items for sale. We will stage the estate sale, so that items being sold are displayed in the best possible manner to attract buyers and promote the effective liquidation of the assets. Our client and customers often remark how beautiful our staging is.

We believe in complete transparency in all transactions. We are original with our POS system and our pricing of items. We utilize barcodes on all of your items and scan the items at our checkout allowing for electronic sales reporting for our clients in an instant. From $1 to $1,000+, you will have an accounting of your items. Customers love the barcode / scan system as the checkout lines move very quickly. 

Testimonials

We strive to give the best customer service to each valued client – our reputation is built upon our clients’ satisfaction.  Here’s what they have said about us:

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST I shop estate sales for a living and I’ve never seen a better company! Fecit has compassion and fiscal regard for their clients. They have a work ethic, attention to detail, follow up/follow through, organization, and more experience than any estate sale company I’ve ever worked with. I’ve worked all over the country and Fecit is unparalleled in their professionalism. I was in Baton Rouge decorating a movie (The Iron Claw). Karen and her team saved our show over and over again.

Tim C.

First, we would like to thank Karen for the amazing work she did on our sale. She is a very ethical and excellent person to trust handling the estate sale of a loved one. The house was staged perfectly and everything was priced to our expectations. The communication was amazing! We were in contact with Karen every step of the way which made us more comfortable with the process. You can tell Karen loves her job with the care she handles everything. Highly recommended!!!

Chad F.

Karen and her team were phenomenal! My sisters and I were overwhelmed by the task of selling the possessions of our beloved parents. Karen and Theresa were so compassionate and understanding of our grief. In a Ninja-like fashion they had everything staged and priced. She drew in far more buyers and got more money for us than we could have on our own. After the sale was over she had a team come and take all the things left we did not want. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Donna B.

Karen with Fecit is amazing and she exceeded my expectations with my Estate sale! She is very knowledgeable, dependable, trustworthy and has a very big heart. Fecit Antiques & Estates, LLC definitely deserves Five stars!!

Laurie T.

I used Karen of Fecit Antiques and Estates to dispose of the furniture, dishes, and other objects I left in my Baton Rouge house when I moved to Mississippi. I have only high praise for her work. She organized and displayed the items well. She also gave me a complete accounting. I would definitely use her again.

Fred S.

FECIT Antiques and Estates did a great job for me. Karen, our representative, was attentive to and considerate of our concerns. She was very professional, proficient, and caring. Karen always answered my texts in a timely manner. She stayed on top of everything. I highly recommend FECIT Antiques and Estates.

Richard B.

I called and emailed several estate sale companies but Karen was the only one that returned my call, followed up and came out to visit with me. Making the decision to sell my mothers precious items was very overwhelming but Karen and her team made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. I only have one regret…that I didn’t call Karen sooner.

Dionne H.

Thank you Fecit Antiques and Estates for facilitating the sale of my family’s precious memories. You and your team transformed my family’s home and made it a beautiful showroom. I appreciated your marketing strategies as we had people lined up two hours before the sale started. You have an abundance of loyal followers who support you which is wonderful when selling. Karen, you and your team made this difficult time easier. While the sale represented the end it also represents the beginning of a new friendship. Thank you.

Rhonda W.

Karen and her crew with Fecit Antiques and Estates did an amazing job with our estate sale. She was very personable and professional. I would highly recommend this company if you’re looking to do an estate sale.

Jennifer L.

I was very overwhelmed in dealing with my mother’s estate and worried that no one would come to an estate sale at her remote location. I had already been rejected by one company due to the location, but fortunately, after speaking to Karen, of Fecit Antiques and Estates, I was relieved that she was so willing to come out and conduct our estate sale. Karen and her crew worked very diligently before the sale to set everything up and once they had everything on display in the house before the sale, I was very impressed. Also, my mother had a lot, I mean lots of stuff, so again, much of it in boxes and they willingly went through and priced and sorted everything, and seemed very organized. I was thrilled at the turnout and probably over a 100 people or more came out that first weekend to the sale despite my mother’s house being in a very rural location. Furthermore, we sold almost everything. All the big items were sold and just a relatively few items were left which I donated. I was happy with my decision to hire Fecit Antiques and Estates company because we ended up getting rid of a lot of belongings with no hassle and also ended up with a good profit from the sale! I would recommend Karen and her company to anyone looking to have an estate sale!

I would highly recommend a Fecit estate sale. Very professional and efficient

Beverly T.

The minute I met Fecit Antiques and Estates owner Karen Khonsari, I knew that my sale would be in great hands. She is professional and yet personable, extremely knowledgeable and hardworking. She delivered on all her promises, making a stressful transition for me much easier. I cannot even imagine how anyone could do it better. Her marketing was exceptional, filling the house with buyers the entire two days of the sale. Her staff was simply amazing, courteous but business-like and extremely diligent in avoiding all the problems that could arise with a house full of people and things.

Marti L.

We interviewed several estate sales companies and made our decision on Karen’s professionalism, great attitude and knowledge of the items we were selling. Karen took charge and handled the whole experience in a orderly fashion. Karen was honest, trustworthy and easy to work with. I recommend her highly for her estate sales capability.

Roger S.

Outstanding Job!!! Excellent service and very quick and efficient at expediting the estate sale process while optimizing value.

John B.

Shout out to Karen at Fecit Antiques and Estates. Our estate sale was handled efficiently and professionally. They kept in touch with me though the whole process.

Vickie B.

I waited six weeks to get on Karen’s schedule.  Her photography and staging of items is better than the rest.  Items were priced to sell and receipts were over the top.  Fecit Antiques and Estates won’t disappoint.

Margaret C.

Working with Karen and her team was truly a delight. Very professional and they handled everything. Even things I didn’t think of or know about. Would highly recommend this group if you are having an estate sale. You won’t be disappointed.

Devin B.

The team from Fecit Antiques and Estates are incredible. They walked us step by step through the very difficult process of an estate sale for my father. They did an incredible amount of work. What’s more is that they feel like family – Karen and her team truly want the best for their clients. I cannot recommend Fecit highly enough.

Diego L.

Karen and her team did a fabulous job on my parent’s estate sale! Professional from the start – took care of all the details and made it easy for us during an emotionally sensitive time. I really appreciate the care and attention given to the items for sale as well as the house before, during, and after the sale. Highly recommended!

Cindy D.

Wow is my first word for Karen, owner of Fecit Antiques and Estates. Karen is fabulous at her job and nothing rattles her. She takes chaos and turns it into a magnificent presentation. Her staff, like Karen, are friendly, diligent, wonderfully organized. While I was overwhelmed with all the STUFF, she and the ladies took it in stride and created a lovely display. Karen, I cannot thank you enough. I have told everyone who knows my situation how wonderful you and Fecit are. Thousands of thanks to you.

Lyn H.

Karen and her staff at Fecit Antiques were very professional from start to finish in handling our estate sale. I was amazed how quickly they were able to organize over 50 years worth of possessions. They were very efficient, and the house was staged nicely. Karen‘s contacts and online pre-sales definitely increased our estate sale proceeds. I would highly recommend Fecit Antiques to others for their estate sale.

Susan D.

Karen and her team were outstanding. Very profession and handled my estate with care. I highly recommend Fecit Antiques and Estates. 

Rusty A.

We had the opportunity to utilize the services of Fecit Antiques and Estates in Baton Rouge this past weekend. Karen was wonderful to work with. Her team was professional and worked diligently to have the materials prepared and displayed in a pleasant way for sale. They were extremely flexible with items that we needed to remove for family. We couldn’t ask for a better person to work with.

Ron B.

One word: Excellence. That’s how I’d sum up the work that Fecit does. I could add many other glowing words of praise, but I think you get the picture. First of all, Karen, the owner of the company, is terrific. She’s personable and professional all at once. She handled everything from top to bottom and really makes a tough situation of selling prized family items and leaving behind precious memories as comfortable and easy as possible. I highly recommend Karen and Fecit to anyone having an estate sale. She is the best!

Chris B.

My whole family wishes to express our gratitude to Karen and Fecit Antiques and Estates. My 94 year old mother had to move due to health problems and then had to sell 74 years worth of furniture and memories. The emotional weight and responsibility was great for all of us, especially for mom. I have to say Karen and her staff took a great burden from us and prepared us from the beginning. She is very respectful of family and is an excellent communicator. We highly recommend Fecit Antiques and Estates to anyone needing an estate sale.

Harry D.

Karen and her staff were absolutely fantastic with my father’s estate sale. They are very hard working people with a smile on their faces. They made this process incredibly easy and even fun to be a part of. I can’t say enough about how much this estate sale meant to us. I am so glad we met Karen and her staff!!

Chris D.

I hope everyone could have such a great experience with their estate sale as I did! Karen and her crew were amazing. They were able to sort through and arrange years of furniture, accessories, art, clothing, housewares and Christmas items in a way that was very appealing -which drove up our sales. I can’t say enough about their professionalism and hard work. I would highly recommend them!!

Cati H.

Karen and her team are always so incredibly helpful and easy to work with. Her “how can I help” attitude makes her sales the ones I make sure I go to. Fair pricing, lots of pictures posted, and always there to answer questions is why it’s an easy 5 star review.
