About us

Brown Button is an award-winning estate sale company on a mission to pioneer a new standard. Moving is a challenge and we are dedicated to making that transition as simple, easy, and stress-free as possible. Our team is a group of difference-makers, passionate about hosting estate sales in a professional, respectful, and honoring way. We love having a business that does “work that matters” and makes a difference for the families we serve. Since 2011, our company has helped over 700 families in transition. When a family moves or downsizes, they often have a house full of personal property that needs to be sold. From Ralph Lauren clothing to the Restoration Hardware furniture, what do you do with the items you no longer need? How do you get the house clean and empty for the new home buyer? That’s where Brown Button comes in. We specialize in luxury estate sales, making the process simple, easy, and stress-free for you to move on to your next adventure unencumbered. Our award-winning team will organize, stage, price, advertise, and host your in-home estate sale. After the sale we donate any remaining items on your behalf and present you with the sale proceeds as well as a clean & empty house, ready for your new buyer. Our company has won several awards including KC’s 25 Under 25, Business Journal’s Fast 50, and we’ve ranked twice on the INC 5,000 fastest growing private companies in the US. We’ve also been featured in the Washington Post, Miami Herald, Kansas City Star, Ingram’s, KMBC 9, KCTV 5, KC Business Journal, The Pitch, and Thinking Bigger Media. We love what we do and are passionate about providing the best estate sale experience for both our clients and shoppers.

Beware of price flipping (bait & switch). BB listed an item at one price (I took a photo of the item / the price originally listed in Sale Photos). Then when the sale opened BB had raised the price (2-1/2 times originally listed). Refused to “honor” the original quoted / listed price. Saying “they realize the value was the greater price. And that they had a clause stating they had the right to change prices”. They have no right to change prices if they post it originally at one price. Bait & Switch. They offered me a $50 gift certificate for my inconvenience. Obviously realizing they had made a huge mistake. I don’t want their gift certificate. All I want is an HONEST company to stand by the word. Sloppy Business. Not to operate on GREED. So BOGUS .

I have gone to several of their Estate Sales. The staff is extremely friendly and very helpful! They have been incredibly during Covid making sure that everyone wears a mask and there is plenty of hand sanitizer. They price the items well and each day the items are marked down even further.

From our initial meeting, during which they explained their services, it was very clear that this was an incredibly professional, thorough team that we could trust. They always welcomed any questions we had during the process and their answers were always very supportive. Even under the best of circumstances, moving and selling so many things that our family has accumulated over the years was a stressful process, but Brown Button made it SO MUCH EASIER and they were a PLEASURE to work with. I HIGHLY recommend them and would use them again.
Description of Work: During a recent move, we decided to downsize our house significantly. We hired Brown Button to sell a notable percentage of our belongings, ranging from large furniture pieces to small, inexpensive items--children's toys & books, garden tools, clothing, etc., etc.

I was more than pleased with the services that Brown Button provided and the kindness, respect, and knowledge of the staff members instilled confidence in me. I was particularly impressed with the effective marketing strategies of this company. Due to their efforts, the sale was very well attended and almost everything in my home sold. In addition, my belongings were expertly appraised and priced and I felt that both I and those attending the sale were getting a good deal. At the end of the sale, Brown Button removed every remaining item and left the house immaculate and ready for the new owners to move in. Without a doubt, this was the easiest move I have ever had and, without hesitation, I strongly recommend Brown Button to anyone considering an estate sale.

Exceeded our expectations on every level. We highly recommend Brown Button if you are planning an estate sale! The staff handled every attention to detail. From days of preparing and valuing the wide variety of pieces to be sold - To the extremely professional and courteous staff. We barely had to lift a finger from beginning to end. Well worth the value and most importantly the trust we had with Brown Button with our mother's belongings.

Brown Button holds the best estate sales in Kansas City. The homes and the sale items are always clean and presented in a way that is attractive. Brown Button posts excellent pictures and walk-throughs of the sale. They promote the sales in many sales to reach the maximum number of buyers. We've bought everything from garden stakes to a road bike, to a leather chair, to first-rate art pieces at Brown Button estate sales. People line up well before opening time for Brown Button sales. We've told our kids and put it in writing that when the time comes for our estate sale, choose Brown Button.

Description of Work: Brown Button Estate Sale Services were absolutely brilliant in their handling of my estate sale. Their willingness to put the client first by offering the most beneficial and prosperous package of services was evident during my very first phone contact with them. Their upfront honesty is refreshing. Once an agreement was made and a plan in place the fun really began! Their people were charming, professional, and just plain fun. All persons I worked with made me feel as though I was their only client - a very good feeling indeed.
