Are you getting ready for an estate sale? Whether you are simply downsizing your home or you have sadly lost a loved one, you may find yourself needing to let go of a whole house of furniture, paintings, dishes, jewelry, and other valuables. In order to get ready for this, here are a few steps you should follow:
Step 1: Remove Any Sentimental Items You’d Like To Keep
First thing first, you need to go through and find any items that you hope to keep and have them removed from the estate. While you might be eager to let go of this surplus of possessions, there are bound to be a few things here and there you have no intention of letting go. By removing them completely from the property, you can ensure that your precious items will not end up being sold accidentally.
Step 2: Identify The Items You Want To Keep, But Cannot Immediately Move
While some items are easy for you to move out of the home, others are not. Perhaps you want to hold onto a nice table or bed, but you currently have nowhere to move it to at the moment. Make sure you clearly identify any of the items you want to keep and inform the estate sale company so that they know to steer clear of it when setting up for the estate sale.
Step 3: Do Not Throw Anything Out
Unless the item is literally trash, like a potato chip bag, you need to leave it right where it is. While this item may seem worthless to you, this item could be very valuable to somewhere else. After all, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
