Professional Journey

Denny and Brian Graves met at a tag sale, and together they started Everything But The House. The company’s own account dates the business from 2008, when the pair posted the first sale to EBTH.com. Local press has also dated her decision to co-found it to 2006. The original model was an online estate sale: items were photographed inside the client’s home and buyers were invited to purchase them. After several years the company moved to consolidating goods in its own facility. There its team sorts, catalogues, photographs and authenticates every item before auction.

As EBTH grew, Denny was its founder and chief development officer; Cincinnati Magazine used that title in 2017. The company later ran into financial difficulty. It petitioned a Delaware court to pursue an assignment for the benefit of creditors, a bankruptcy-like process, with lenders and secured creditors owed about $7.5 million. Graves’s company, High Road Holdings LLC, agreed to pay $3.5 million in cash for the assets and trade name. He worked on that proposal with Denny and an investment syndicate.

In January 2021 EBTH announced that “Founders, Jacquie Denny and Brian Graves, have returned as owners”. Graves was titled Founder and President. The company was then operating from a 217,000 sq ft facility in Blue Ash. Denny has continued to appear publicly as EBTH’s co-founder, including a 2023 podcast interview and a 2024 Cincinnati Refined television feature. EBTH says it now has bidders around the world.
