Estate Sale Essentials: What You Need to Know Before Selling
1. Valuation Misconceptions
When it comes to estate sales, many sellers believe that large, eye-catching items like furniture bring in the most value. However, experience shows that often 80% of the sale’s value can be found in smaller items—clothes, everyday household items, and miscellaneous pieces. These overlooked treasures can be the real stars of your sale.
2. Preparation Best Practices
We tell our clients not to throw anything away or start giving away items until you or a professional does a thorough evaluation of your belongings. By not disposing of items prematurely, you avoid losing potential revenue from valuable goods that you may not recognize.
Don’t start selling off items right away. Doing so can prematurely deplete the value of the sale and its ability to attract the largest crowd and the best buyers.
If you’re considering hiring a professional, then less is more in regards to what you need to do. You’ll want to take personal documents, medications, and perishable food, but leave all other items as they are. An experienced team of professionals knows how to evaluate, organize, and stage your home to showcase each item’s value, making it appealing to buyers.
We do reccommend for you to clean your house and items as much as possible beforehand. This will help your items sell for more.
3. Security and Safety
Estate sales can attract a lot of attention. It’s crucial to take measures to secure the sale area, especially valuable items. For instance, if you’re selling items that are easily portable, like jewelry or small antiques, ensure they are supervised at all times. Regularly emptying the cash register during the sale can prevent significant losses in the event of theft.
4. Logistical Planning
Estate sales require careful planning, not just for the sale days but also in the lead-up to the event. Start the process early to secure your preferred dates and allow sufficient time for item appraisal, research, and cataloging.
Be prepared for the sale to last anywhere from one to three days, requiring stamina and patience. Also, make sure to allow enough time for set up and organizing all your items.
If you’re considering hiring a professional estate sale service, be aware that there can be a waiting period, as credible companies often book weeks in advance.
5. Professional Assistance
Handling an estate sale on your own can be overwhelming, emotionally draining, and physically exhausting. Professional estate sale services alleviate these burdens by managing everything from advertising and staging to pricing and selling. Our experts research each item’s history and value, create enticing advertisements, and conduct the sale. This comprehensive approach not only ensures a successful sale but also transforms a potentially stressful event into a stress-free experience. Our commission includes all these services, ensuring no hidden costs surprise you.
