The text alert and line system that turns your buyer list into the reason families hire you.
run on this system every single weekend by our founding client in Orange County
for a buyer to text a city name and hold a numbered, name-verified spot in line
consent, quiet hours, and STOP requests enforced automatically, in code
Sample data. The real thing fills a sheet in your Google account, not ours.
You don't have a crowd problem. You have a kitchen table problem.
A family is choosing between you and two other companies to handle their mother's estate. Everyone claims they can pull a crowd. Right now, you prove it with a Facebook page and some photos. So does everyone else.
Say that at the kitchen table and watch the other bids stop mattering.
The whole machine
Three texts run everything.
Buyers text a city name
They get asked for a name, then a numbered spot in line. No name, no number, so the list stays real. No app, no sign-up sheet, nobody guarding a porch at 5am.
You text once, everyone knows
One message reaches your whole list, by first name: sale announcements and the morning address drop. The tool guy hears about the tools. The canning ladies, the crafters, the car guys, the antique hunters, and the resellers all hear about exactly what they came for.
Sale day runs itself
Confirmation texts are tickets at the door. You read the line from your own phone, or your manager reads it from theirs. Winner drawings bring people back, and line-cutters get quietly handled.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
The line system
Name-verified numbered spots by text. Groups handled, duplicates impossible, positions provable when someone argues at the door at 7am.
The list engine
An explicit-consent marketing list that lives in your own account. Not ours. Not a platform's. Yours, forever.
Cheater detection
The same dealers grabbing the top spots at every sale get quietly rotated back. Built by someone who has watched it happen from the door.
Winner drawings
One text picks a winner from the line, and the prize is your call: a two minute early walk-through before doors open, a $100 sale credit, a best shopper trophy. Everyone else leaves thinking "next week, that's mine." And back they come.
Sale-by-sale analytics, kept for you
Every sale archives itself: the date, everyone who lined up, and how much your list grew. Watch your company's growth with your own eyes, sale after sale, and bring the numbers to the next kitchen table.
Run it alone, or hand it off
Everything works from your own phone. And the day you want help, a manager or crew member can read lines and draw winners from theirs, without the ability to touch your list or your marketing.
Carrier registration, done for you
Business texting requires carrier approval, compliant opt-in pages, and registration most companies fail. We run the whole gauntlet for you.
White-glove first sale
We don't hand you a login and disappear. Your first sale runs with us on the phone, start to finish.
The largest listing platform in the industry sold to an overseas company. The biggest franchise sold to private equity. And the buyers you bring to their platform? They keep those.
Every sale you run builds their audience, not yours. The followers, the favorites, the attendee lists all live on the platform, and none of it is exportable. If their prices go up, or a better platform comes along, you walk away with nothing but your socials and your email list. And both of those are "if they happen to see it" channels.
Texts are not. This system reaches the one thing every buyer carries every single day: their phone. On a list that lives in your own account, with your name on it, that no acquisition, price hike, or platform pivot can take away from you.
And to be clear: nobody's telling you to leave the platform. Keep listing where the buyers are. This system just does the one thing listings never will: it turns every buyer they send you into your buyer from then on. A tool in your toolbox, right next to theirs. The difference is, this one you own.
Any company. Any size. Better odds.
You don't need big lines to start. The system is how you get them.
Already pulling crowds?
- Run the doors from your own phone, or hand that job to a manager while you cover three sales at once.
- Name-verified numbered lines end the door arguments before they start.
- Walk into every bid with the one number the other companies can't say out loud.
Still building your list?
- Every sale adds buyers automatically. The list compounds weekend over weekend.
- Winner drawings send shoppers home thinking "next week, that's mine." And back they come.
- When a family asks who can actually pull a crowd, you'll be the one with receipts.
Built by a guy who's carried the couch.
Kaleb Hoppe has been in estate sales since 2014. He started at the bottom of the ladder with Grasons, the largest estate sale company in the country with 52-plus franchise territories: hauling furniture down basement stairs, staging houses, learning pricing, driving the dump trailer, trashing out at the end of every sale. Eventually he ran a crew of his own in Idaho and did all of it, from loading the trucks to setup, pricing, selling, cashiering, trash-outs, and managing the crew.
He didn't learn estate sales to sell software. He learned software after twelve years of estate sales. Every feature in this system started as something he watched the owners he worked for deal with in the real world.
He's seen buyers camp out overnight and mark their spots with lawn chairs, rocks, coffee cups, and one Frankenstein Halloween head. He's seen names scratched off paper lists and arguments over who got there first. This system brings order to that chaos, and the shoppers who've used it love it.
Straight pricing
One estate pays for the year.
The texts themselves run about four-tenths of a cent, billed at cost to your own account. Reaching three hundred buyers costs about a dollar twenty. Live in about two weeks, carrier registration included.

Answers before you ask.
Doesn't the big listing platform already do this?
Top-tier listing packages can include a line tool. Ask one to text everyone in your line right now. Ask it for last month's buyers. Ask to export your list. Theirs writes down who showed up. Yours lets you reach those buyers for the rest of your career.
Do my customers need an app?
No. They text your business number like they'd text a friend. No app, no account, no password. That's the whole point.
Is text marketing legal?
This system is built compliance-first: marketing goes only to people who explicitly said yes, STOP unsubscribes instantly and automatically, quiet hours are enforced in code, and every client is carrier-registered with their own compliant opt-in pages. It's handled.
What happens if I cancel?
Thirty days notice, either direction. Your customer list, your phone number, and your texting account are yours and go with you. No lock-in by design, because retention should come from the product being worth it.
How fast can I be live?
About two weeks. Carriers review every new business texting number, and we run that entire registration for you. It's the boring part, it's included, and it's why your texts actually arrive instead of dying in spam.
What does it cost my customers?
Nothing. Joining your list is free for them, and standard message and data rates apply like any other text they send.
