What are estate sales?
Estate sales are when you want everything in your property sold by a professional company. The professional will appraise the value of everything in your home and stage the sale on your behalf. It takes all of the stress and time out of the process. You are free to get on with your everyday life. The time that it would take to itemize everything and put it on eBay or Craigslist is immense. The Estate Sale company takes all of that pressure off of you and let you live your life.
Estate sales are traditionally prompted by downsizing, debt, divorce or death. But many Americans look to have an estate sale for many reasons. People moving for work or moving out of the country are other reasons that people need help when looking to sell all of their assets through an estate sale.
What is the difference between Estate Sales and Auctions?
Auctions put the entire burden on you – the seller. You have to check all of the items for their condition. You have to conduct the research into the value of the items. You have to make sure that you store and transport them properly. The online auction sites such as eBay give you an alternative to the physical auction but you will still have to make arrangements for shipping.
Estate sales take all of this hassle out of the selling process as a professional will carry out all of the work for you.
What is the difference between Estate Sales and Consignments stores?
Most consignment stores don’t get a lot of customers because of the higher cost involved in running a consignment store the expenses gets passed down to your items additionally your items may sit there awaiting a buyer for a very long period of time. My guess is that if you are looking at an estate sale then you will be looking to sell your items much more quickly than that and have your home ready to sell.
How to choose the best estate sale company?
You can search for local estate sale companies in your local area. Do your research by checking out their website. This gives you a good idea of how they operate and what they do for their clients. The best idea I have seen in regards to choosing your ideal estate sale agent is to go to some other local estate sales. From there you can see the choice of estate agents and the way in which they conduct their business. Seeing an estate sale agent in action is the ideal way to assess what they do and how well they do it. You are looking for someone who knows the value of the merchandise and is able to price it accurately and fairly all while maintaining control over the process, so that you can have a well managed successful sale.
