If you’ve inherited a property, organizing an estate sale can be one of the most challenging tasks. Our Estate Sale service takes the burden off your shoulders, providing a compassionate, comprehensive approach to manage the sale of personal property within the home.
What is an estate sale?
An estate sale is a unique shopping event held at a home to sell personal belongings. These events offer the chance to purchase everything from furniture and antiques to collectibles and everyday household items. A well-organized estate sale should include the following:
- Decluttering and thoroughly cleaning the home.
- Staging and pricing each item for maximum appeal.
- A designated checkout area with options for multiple payment methods.
- Clear signage both on the street and throughout the home.
- Detailed accounting and reporting of all transactions.
- A strategic plan for handling unsold items.
- Post-sale cleaning to leave the home in excellent condition.
