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 Stark County area, having earned a reputation of high-quality sales and professional service.

The essence of Kimbell-Brown’s tagline, “Where your treasures find a home,” resonates deeply with us. We understand that your 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 have.

We feel a tag sale is a more profitable and more personal way of liquidating estates and dispersing of household goods. 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 1,500 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 car.

We can usually schedule a sale within a month or two 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.
