Almost every estate sale lead opens with the same questions in roughly the same order. What do you charge. What sells and what doesn't. How long does setup take. When do I get the check. Do you handle whatever doesn't sell. The executor is usually a busy adult child handling probate paperwork in the morning and a chatbot on your website at 11pm. They need direct answers fast, not a form that goes to your inbox and gets answered Tuesday.

SleekAI hooks into the data you already keep in WordPress. Commission tiers live as a custom post type with postmeta fields like commission_pct, min_gross, and setup_days. Past sales live as another post type with photos, gross totals, and item-category tags. The upcoming-sale schedule is on a custom calendar or in Events Calendar's wp_em_events table. SleekAI's data mapper pulls the right tier for the property's estimated gross, references real past sales as proof, and confirms whether you have an open weekend in the executor's timeframe.

The conversation often turns on what doesn't sell. The Hummel figurines, the formal dining set, the family Bibles. Executors hate hearing the truth that these have no resale market, but they will trust a bot that explains it once, references three recent sales where similar items got 30 cents on the dollar, and offers a buyout, donation, or junk-haul option as a clean ending. That honesty is what gets you signed.

Estate sale executors have one shared trauma. Some sales person promised mom's china would bring real money and then the family stood in the kitchen on Sunday afternoon watching it not sell. They never want that experience again.

Most of them have read three blog posts before they reach your chat. They know brown furniture, Hummel figurines, and formal sets are a soft market. They are testing whether you will be honest about it or pitch them.

A chatbot that says yes, china rarely moves, and here are three recent sales where it cleared at 30 cents on the dollar, and here is a buyout option for what remains, builds more trust in 90 seconds than a sales email does in a week. Conversions follow. The executor signs because the bot already told the hard truth.

The sale runs without setting expectations the goods cannot meet. Reviews stay good because the family is not disappointed. Repeat referrals come from the probate attorneys who hear from their client that the estate sale firm was the one part of the process that went smoothly.

The bot did the calibration that used to require a thirty-minute call. Your weekends fill with realistic estates that match your real economics.
