Job description

Auction and Estate Sale Specialist

Caring Transitions of Rochester

Part-Time  |  Rochester, NY  |  Field-Based  |  Starting at $18/hr

Part treasure hunter, part storyteller: find what is valuable and get it into the right hands.

Every estate we clear is full of things the world has forgotten how to value: mid-century furniture, vintage tools, costume jewelry, oddball collectibles, genuine finds. Your job is to spot them, research them, and turn them into money for our clients, while keeping cherished, well-made, and one-of-a-kind items out of the landfill and into the hands of people who will prize them the way the original owner did.

You will run items end-to-end on our CTBids online auction platform: hunting for value, researching what things are really worth, photographing and writing listings that sell, and managing pickup day. If you have an eye for what something is worth, this is the role where that instinct pays.

What you will actually do

  • Identify and separate saleable items, then group them into lots that maximize sale value (target $75 or more per lot)
  • Research items to confirm value and write accurate, compelling descriptions
  • Clean, stage, and photograph items, then list them in the CTBids Sellers app
  • Run pickup days: greet buyers, help them locate their lots, and keep things organized and friendly
  • Track how lots perform and bring ideas to improve results over time
  • Pitch in on final clear-out, donation coordination, and disposal as needed

You will thrive here if you

  • Are curious about what things are worth, whether from selling online, visiting estate sales, wandering flea markets, or just always noticing value everywhere you look (no prior formal experience required)
  • Are a self-starter who picks up new software quickly
  • Are dependable, trustworthy, and detail-oriented in your writing and in person
  • Enjoy working with a range of people and can keep a pickup day running smoothly and professionally

The practical details

Reliable personal transportation and a working smartphone required. Flexible Monday through Friday availability, roughly 9 to 4, approximately 10 to 20 hours per week to start with room to grow. Background check required. Starting pay is $18/hr; candidates with demonstrated auction or resale experience may earn more. This role rewards a sharp eye and strong results.

 

To apply: send a resume and a brief note about why this role interests you to nrussell@caringtransitions.com

Caring Transitions of Rochester is an equal opportunity employer.
