About Us

Estate Sales

In Boston & New England

Maggie and Jim Hobbs founded Hunt Estate Sales in 2012 with a clear mission: to elevate the estate sale experience with a focus on authentic service and innovation.

After eight years hosting traditional open-to-the-public events, we pivoted to virtual sales. Today we operate New England’s only fully integrated online estate sale platform.

Optimizing our services and taking them online has allowed us to market our clients’ property to a much broader audience, resulting in higher price points and a higher sell-through rate. This eliminates the pain points and risks of traditional sales. No property damage. No theft. No injuries.

We continue to adapt to changing trends, serve our clients in innovative ways, and deliver a one-of-a-kind, 24/7 modern-day treasure hunt.

Maggie graduated from Northeastern University and began her career helping her clients age in place, safely in their homes.

Jim graduated from Berklee School of Music and is recognized worldwide as a Jazz Saxophonist and composer. For 20 years Jim was the regional manager of a national retail and rental music store, where he specialized in antique and rare pieces.

Most days the sweat equity is literal and most nights we're side by side, bathed in the glow of two laptops. It's extremely rewarding working together to assist our clients through significant transitions all while touting the importance of the second-hand industry.

Client Testimonials

Your satisfaction is the cornerstone of our success. Read what some of our past clients had to say about working with Hunt Estate Sales.

WOW! I can't describe how amazing our experience was with Hunt Estate Sales. Every aspect of our Estate sale was handled in a five-star fashion. From the first moment that I saw the amazing photographs and posts on the Hunt Estate Sales website and social media, I knew that Maggie and Jim were the correct people to handle our family's estate sale. We were approached by a slew of potential partners to help us with our Estate sale and none of them remotely compared to Hunt Estate Sales

By the end, I was calling Maggie the "Goddess of Estate Sales." It's tough to go through an estate sale. You watch your family's things disappear bit by bit. Maggie reminded us that we were spreading our dad's legacy into the streets and neighborhoods he loved. If you have to have an estate sale, I would definitely recommend Maggie and team!

This really was one of the best experiences I have ever had hiring someone to render a professional service. Maggie and Jim are friendly, professional, organized, efficient, and honest. I trusted them from the start and they didn't let me down. For anyone who is considering having an estate sale, you will be in good hands if you hire Hunt Estate Sales.

I can't thank you enough for everything you did to make our estate sale a huge success! In just a few days you managed to come in and sort, research, photograph, advertise, price, tag, and stage over 25+ years of "stuff". It's an emotional experience allowing people to come into your home and sell your belongings, which in our case spanned many generations, but you handled it professionally and with sensitivity and understanding. You and your team made the daunting task of downsizing much easier. It is obvious that you love what you do and it shows in your attention to detail and enthusiasm.

Downsizing? Call Maggie. She and Jim know exactly what to do and how to do it. They are professional, tireless, and upbeat as they solve all your downsizing issues. After a successful sale, Maggie still managed to sell some items and organized a final removal service that finished the job. We promptly received a thorough itemized accounting of the sale and the welcomed proceeds. We recommend Hunt Estate Sales without reservation.
