The Sale :
In this part of the process, we will completely prepare the home, garage and outbuildings for an estate sale and conduct the sale. This includes: Sorting and organizing all of the contents and removing any items not suitable for a sale, which could mean bagging trash (like expired or open food packages or bathroom items) or donating items to charity (like grammie's jammies). We will then stage the items and take photos and measurements for advertising and begin the advertising process. Larger items may be sold in advance of the sale to make room for shoppers and display of smaller items. We then price everything, obtain any necessary permits and then conduct the sale! The number of days for the sale is determined by how many items there are to be sold. Typically its 2 days but could be up to 4 days. Discounts are added in the subsequent days to encourage buying! As part of this process, we also inspect for hazards and leverage various strategies to mitigate the risk of hazards which may include safety cones/tape as well as pedestrian control throughout the home and property.
We will have multiple representatives on site during the sale to assist shoppers with any questions or prices, help mitigate risks, and ring people up for purchases.
The Cleanout :
In this part of the process, we take care of the remnants of the sale and plan for the disposal of items that are not appropriate for donation in order to leave the home completely empty. This includes: bagging/boxing items for donation and making arrangements for donation to charity by either scheduling a pick up or taking the items to the charity. Donation receipts are collected and turned over to the homeowner/executor along with a high-level itemization of what was donated.
Some large pieces of furniture may not be accepted for donation by local charities (like entertainment centers and china cabinets) and these items can be advertised on social media for quick sale to empty the home.
This may also include renting a dumpster for old mattresses, scrap wood or scrap metal or garage items that cannot be donated.
Of course, the family has a final chance to look over and retain any of the property before the cleanout is executed.
Cleanout is an optional part of the process which means that the family may choose to conduct the cleanout themselves versus hiring us to do it. Cleanout can usually be completed within 3 days of the conclusion of the sale.
“No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.”
