Contrary to what many people think, the majority of estate sales are done while the homeowner is still well and alive. With some professional organization, one can easily and quickly downsize and make a great profit in the process.
Downsizing Your Home
After a long lifetime of memories and adventures, you are likely to have a home filled with lovely possessions that have been collecting for a long time. Not to mention all of the belongings you still have from a home full of children who have since grown up and moved out.
Without meaning to, we find ourselves keeping everything and storing it for later until it becomes an overwhelming burden that is cluttering up the home. In fact, simply trying to keep up with a four bedroom sized home can be frustrating and unrealistic when it is just you and your partner. For this reason, it is no wonder why so many couples downsize once the kids have moved out.
Your first thought would probably be to just hold a huge garage sale. However, the value you would get from a yard sale just does not justify the amount of effort it takes to set up and the large amount of things left over. A downsizing estate sale would be more efficient, effective, and you will be able to get the most out of your valuable items.
Getting Ready For Retirement
Another reason a lot of people hold an estate sale while they are still alive is because they are getting ready to retire and finally enjoy a life of relaxation and travel. However, leaving stuff behind will only drag you down and you won’t be able to enjoy travel with a bunch of luggage waiting for you at every stop.
Again, you may think that a garage sale would be the right idea. Still, it is a lot of work for little to no results. With an organized estate sale, not only will you be able to officially say farewell to all of your furniture and personal property, but you will make out with a nice chuck of spending money to enjoy on the road.
