While there are certainly similarities, estate sales operate on a much larger scale, and often deal with items of more value. It is possible for an individual or family to have an estate sale without professional assistance, but hiring a service can make the process much less stressful and more profitable.Benefits of hiring an estate sale service include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Saves time and energy.<\/em> Family members don\u2019t need to personally sort and catalog every item in a home, or worry about how to set up and run the sale.<\/li>\n<li><em>Reduces stress.<\/em> Professionals offload the burden of managing all of the \u201cstuff\u201d and provide an objective, experienced perspective in an emotionally fraught process.<\/li>\n<li><em>Increases revenue.<\/em> Estate sale companies know which items are most valuable to buyers and price your items accordingly, helping families make the most of the downsizing or liquidation process.<\/li>\n<li><em>Boosts visibility.<\/em> By marketing and advertising your sale, service providers ensure that you attract as many buyers as possible.<\/li>\n<li><em>Adds credibility.<\/em> Professional estate sales carry a greater perceived value than family-run sales, attracting a higher quantity and quality of customers \u2013 sometimes up to several thousand people in a day!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<div id=\"VN2K6ScAACcA9jSw\" class=\"linked-doc-content\">\n<section>\n<h2>What are the different types of estate sale services?<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<section>Estate sale services describe their businesses in a variety of ways depending on their specialty, but there are two basic categories:Companies that focus on <em>estate sales after the passing of a loved one:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Estate sale services<\/li>\n<li>Estate liquidators<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Companies that focus on <em>assisting seniors with downsizing:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Senior relocation services<\/li>\n<li>Senior move management services<\/li>\n<li>Downsizing or \u201crightsizing\u201d moving companies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Regardless of the focus, these businesses typically provide similar services, including organizing the contents of a home, researching and assigning a fair market value to the items designated to be sold, advertising and marketing the estate sale in order to attract buyers, running the sale itself, and assisting with removal of any remaining items after the sale.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<div id=\"VGUFlCQAAHEDq5vx\" class=\"linked-doc-content\">\n<section>\n<h2>How does an estate sale work?<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<section>An <strong>estate sale<\/strong>, also known as a <strong>tag sale<\/strong>, is the process of selling all or most of the contents of a home. Estate sales are typically held after a death or other major life event, such as moving, divorce, or bankruptcy. Although they can be run by the homeowner or family, estate sales are typically held by professional service providers and operate at a larger scale than a yard or garage sale.<\/p>\n<h3>Organizing the Sale<\/h3>\n<p>Before a sale, the estate sale company assists the family or homeowner with organizing, sorting, and pricing their belongings. They then prepare the house for the sale by cleaning and staging the items to optimize visibility. The day of the sale, the public is invited into the home to browse the items for sale. The estate sale company coordinates the buying and selling process from end to end.<\/p>\n<p>This often includes managing substantial traffic flow. Popular estate sales can open with a line out the door, and estate sale etiquette dictates that customers remain in this order so that everything is seen on a \u201cfirst come first serve\u201d basis. Some estate sale companies use a number system to guarantee this process, in which every customer is given a number as he or she arrives and shopping proceeds based on that order.<\/p>\n<h3>Purchasing and Selling the Items<\/h3>\n<p>At the sale, customers simply pick up smaller items that they wish to buy and take them to the check out station to complete their purchase. They may also tell sale attendants to mark larger items as sold. The option to bargain for price depends on the sale. Some estate sale companies will also allow bids on more expensive items, using a system similar to a silent auction in which a customer sets out a price that he or she is willing to pay, but only retains claim on that item if someone else is not willing to pay more. The item is sold to the highest bidder at the end of the day. Traditionally, many estate sales only took cash, but that is changing with mobile credit card readers and some sales now accept major credit cards as well.<\/p>\n<p>Some estate sale companies sell items through other venues in addition to the home, such as online auctions, directly to antique dealers or brokers, or to private collectors. The vendor is motivated to sell your belongings for the best possible price, because their compensation is based on the value received for your items. In return for their services, estate sale companies take a percentage of the total earnings from the sale, typically 25-35%.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<div id=\"VGUC2CQAAHIDq5Zs\" class=\"linked-doc-content\">\n<section>\n<h2>What services are provided by estate sale companies?<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<section>Whether an estate sale company is assisting with an entire estate liquidation or helping with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.senioradvisor.com\/ind\/senior-movers\">downsizing<\/a> process, they typically offer an end-to-end set of services that help families transition out of the existing home.
