THUNDER BAY For Jennifer and Sean Hall, their company, Thunder Bay Estate Sales came about as a result of their passion for reselling things.
The couple used to buy abandoned storage units for sorting and reselling. Sometimes it was great - they were once able to fund a family trip - and other times it was dismal. After an experience where everything had to be taken to the dump, they sat down, brainstormed, and decided to do estate sales instead.
Thunder Bay Estate Sales was established in 2019. People who are downsizing, or relatives of elderly people who have moved or passed away call the Halls, who come to the home and do an inventory. Both Jennifer and Sean are certified personal property appraisers accredited with the Canadian Personal Property Appraisers Group, and they put a value on the home’s contents. The clients are offered a percentage of the value in exchange for everything being taken away.
