Our Story

Kimbell-Brown has been in the estate sale, tag sale and liquidation business in Northeast Ohio for more than 40 years, following its founding by Tuscarawas County residents, Elaine Kimbell and Jo Brown. It was purchased by Stark County residents D. Scott Mackall and Stephen Luke in 2008. The company’s third owner, North Canton resident Penny Price, took the reins in 2023. Kimbell-Brown is the number one estate sale company in the Canton area, having earned a reputation of quality sales, professional service and a welcoming atmosphere.

At Kimbell-Brown we don’t view our job as just helping you liquidate an estate or empty a house. We know that the task of going through the items accumulated over a loved one’s lifetime is stressful and often overwhelming. Our job is to lift that burden from your shoulders. We aren’t simply selling things; we are honoring a life lived by finding their treasures a new home.

The essence of our tagline, “Where your treasures find a home,” resonates deeply with us. We understand that these household possessions and collections are a culmination of a lifetime’s worth of memories and care. Our commitment is to ensure that these cherished items find new owners who will appreciate and cherish them as much as you and your loved ones have.

We feel a tag sale is a more profitable and more personal way of doing this compared to an in-home or on-line auction. We use our knowledge to determine a fair market value for your items, unlike an auction where the final price is really unknown. Estate sale shoppers can immediately see and touch the items they want to buy. At an auction, people have to wait for hours to bid on an item, and if it’s an on-line auction, they only get to see a small photo of an item.

We come into your home and clean and price every item that we feel can be sold. We offer one, two, three or four day sales, depending on the size of the estate. Kimbell-Brown has a mailing list of more than 1,800 local customers, who are informed about all our sales.

Kimbell-Brown provides all personnel, advertising, publicity and sales equipment necessary to conduct a sale. We provide friendly, helpful clerks and cashiers at our sales and we will help you get your purchases to your vehicle.

We can usually schedule a sale within a two or three months of being contacted. But, our schedule fills up quickly, so it is best to contact us as soon as possible. We treat your items, and your home, like they are our own. We feel like we become a part of your family.
