How long will it take for Piano Finders to complete this service?

with us until the date you have chosen for expiration or until it is sold.
If we accept your contract, then we will begin the process of planning,
listing, promoting and selling the piano. We cannot guarantee that a
buyer will make an offer or perform on it if they do. However, we
will use our best efforts to sell your piano and complete the transaction

percentage for referrals. Contact
us through our Help
