When a life event necessitates an estate sale, it can feel like the pressure is on to empty the estate and to hopefully get the highest amount of compensation for your property and efforts.

Whether you need to quickly liquidate and clean out an entire estate, downsize in preparation for a move, or get rid of specific pieces of furniture/antiques/jewelry in a redecoration effort, partnering with the right estate sale company is vital to ensure ease, convenience, and fair compensation.

Partial and Total Estate Liquidation Services: Here’s What to Look For:

In your hunt for an estate sale company to meet your needs and goals, these tips can make a huge difference in your overall experience and satisfaction:

 

Tip #1: Inquire about the company’s service fees.

With any estate sale company, fees are almost unavoidable. Certain companies and services, however, require smaller fees (and have less restrictions), giving you a greater opportunity to make more for your property.

Depending on how you wish your estate sale/liquidation to transpire, companies that strictly specialize in estate liquidation (and are not a consignment shop) potentially don’t have any fees attached to their services.

Why?

They buy furniture, décor, jewelry and other estate property outright. This means they offer you a straightforward offer for the items you want to get rid of.

Some all-encompassing companies will then pick up every item sold – not requiring you to do a thing. This eases the overall process and allows you to relax knowing your belongings are being handled by professionals.

 

Tip #2: Check to see when the company was established and how experienced their staff is.

Clearing an entire estate or downsizing can be incredibly stressful processes. Working with an established company that staffs an experienced, highly respectful team can truly take a tremendous load off your shoulders and ease the entire process.

  • An established company and experienced team knows what you’re going through.
  • An established company and experienced team knows the current trends and market interest to offer you a fair, desirable amount for your property.
  • An established company and experienced team will work hard to ensure your belongings will be transitioned onto homes that will appreciate their value and history.

 

Tip #3: If a company offers a free consultation, be sure to take full advantage of it – even if you don’t end up working with the company.

A free consultation can give you the opportunity to meet the company’s team, understand their processes and timelines, and – if the consultation is by an estate liquidation company – receive a quote for the items you’re looking to sell/liquidate.

From this information – all from a free, no-obligation consultation – you can be more confident in your decision on the company you want to move forward with.

After all, getting a professional and qualified assessment of your items is a smart (but not technically necessary) first step, regardless of which company you decide to work with in the end.
