Our Story
MaxSold is an unique and innovative way of helping families and businesses, with their downsizing and estate sale needs. Despite being founded in 2010, our auction roots dates back to 1978. It is with this deep understanding of our customer needs that we set out to re-invent the auction world, our goal: minimize customer intrusion and maximize returns.
MaxSold uses local managers to help catalogue and sell everything through our competitive online auction platform. The process is non-intrusive and sensitive. Gone are the wandering crowds poking through your home or business.
MaxSold has grown into the #1 downsizing and auction company in North America. This has given our sellers maximum exposure online. Our auction pre-bid system ensures that buyers are kept actively bidding until the close, providing customers maximum returns.
As we grow, we continue to improve the customer experience and outcomes. We are expanding into new cities, all while reducing our environmental footprint, offering products a second life and reducing waste.
We're growing fast. Really, really fast.
Our company is of 500 support staff and local auction managers, all working hard to make MaxSold a service people love and keep enjoying. We have in-house staff that sit on the front lines, helping customers solve problems and make the most of their experience. Our marketing team, developers, and user-experience designers are constantly innovating, collaborating, and fixing things. Local auction managers are on-site helping residential and business sellers catalogue, photograph, post and sell their goods online. And our management team continues to build partnerships, making MaxSold much more than an auction platform, and grow it into a self-sustainable marketplace designed to support families and businesses alike.
All our efforts have been noticed! In fact, we have been recognized as one of the Fastest-Growing Companies in Canada, right next to Spotify and Canada Goose.

Patti Ridlon was fantastic to work with! I live in Vermont and had a house in Maryland that needed cleaning out. There was a ton of stuff and it would have taken us weeks of time that we didn't have to go through it, organize it, donate it, and sell it. I called Patti and within a 1/2 hr. she was at the house. She told me not to throw anything out; that she could sell 95% of what was there. Patti and her crew were amazing. The auction is over and it is huge for me that the house is basically empty. Thank you and many many thanks to Patti!
I used to recommend EBTH to my real estate clients, but now I recommend MaxSold!
Great staff...efficient and friendly and well informed. This was my first experience with MaxSold. It was recommended to me by a neighbour and I have recommended it to another who is thinking of down-sizing next year. Thank you very much. A good experience all round.
Patti was so helpful and informative! I received the information and contract within minutes of talking to her! We are very excited for the set-up and auction to begin!
Katherine is terrific. She is easy to work with, accommodating and very helpful with information. I felt less anxious after the time she spent with me.
MaxSold representatives on the phone were professional and clear in their explanations. The three people sent to catalog, photograph, and describe the items were fabulous.The more I deal with MaxSold, the more impressed I become. I highly recommend this company.
The team that came to catalog and take pictures was excellent and so nice to work with.
They were a great help. Very professional .Fast workers. Hope we have a good sale.
Adam and his team are Extremely supportive and engaged. He took the time to meet over additional questions and make suggestions to strengthen our auction and our return. Max Sold is an excellent resource for charities trying to maximize return on event auctions!
Dan is very personable and offered helpful suggestions. It was a pleasure to meet him.
