FAQs About Estate Liquidation Services:
As previously noted, estate liquidation is when the assets/personal property of an estate are bought by an outside party – typically a professional estate liquidating organization.
An estate buyout is when an estate sale or liquidating company buys the personal property of an estate for one fixed, negotiated price. This price is discussed and agreed upon between the estate owner/executor and the estate sale or liquidating company.
The biggest differences between estate sales and estate liquidations is how they’re carried out and the sphere of inclusion.
Estate liquidations are not sales or auctions that are carried out over 1-3 days. They are also not public events. They usually only involve the estate executor and an estate liquidating company agreeing on the price for part of or all of the estate. From there, most estate liquidating companies can arrange to pick up and haul away the assets bought.
Estate sales are public events where the house is open to the public over a weekend or multiple weekends to allow individuals to purchase items from the sale.
Unlike estate sales, where the assets to be sold are usually confided to what’s in the home and on the property, estate liquidations can expand to stocks, bonds, other property, fine jewelry, antiques, coin collections, fine art and more.
No, you do not need to have your household items appraised before contacting an estate liquidation professional.
