Estate Sale Basics

Estate Sale BasicsOne of the oldest sayings is that luck favors the prepared. In life there are certain events you know you will have to prepare for and things that will come up suddenly or even take you by surprise. One of these events would be setting up and administering an estate sale. Luckily when it comes to a daunting process such as this Heritage Estate Sales will be glad to help with a variety of services that cater to your needs. If you are unsure of where to start, here is a basic rundown of how the estate sale process works.

If you are in charge of an estate sale after the loss of a friend or a loved one, the first thing to do is get an idea of the type of workload the process will entail. If it feels overwhelming or you just need a consultation, then estate sale services such as those offered with Heritage Estate Sales are a good place to start.

The process begins with a free verbal appraisal and consultation of the estate. During this time you will work with a specialist who will tour the estate with you and help formulate the best course of action moving forward. This is especially helpful with larger estates that can seem overwhelming for a team of people to handle, let alone one individual. If you choose to move forward with the estate sale services then a contract will be drawn up to set terms associated with the costs to conduct the sale.

From here our highly trained and experienced staff will help prepare and clean the home for the sale. The staging of the home includes display of all sale items in a professional manner. The entire estate will also be documented and catalogued with photographs and descriptions that will be posted to our website as well as other online resources to reach the broadest audience possible. The estate sale will generally last between two to four days depending on its size and scope.

There are many aspects of our lives that we simply cannot prepare for when they happen to arise. This can lead to undue stress, fatigue, and a sense of being burdened that does not need to exist. It is our goal to help relieve you of this worry and help in any way possible. If you require the professional and experienced services for an estate sale, contact Heritage Estate Sales today and we can begin the process together.
