Estate sales can provide a lot of insight to both buyers and sellers when the items that are being displayed are well researched and evaluated. At Heritage Estate Sales, we have been able to connect people in meaningful ways that result in heirlooms being passed on to new families. In this way, the sale of items is not only financial gains for the seller, but also desired gains for the buyer.
We come across many properties where the full extent of what is in the lot is not truly understood. This could be anything from a set of vintage Dutch ceramics that had been used as breakfast plates for years, to kitchen utensils that are actually Rogers Bros. Heritage silverware. When sellers have a comprehensive inventory done on the contents of the home, they can also know that they are properly befitting from a fair sale. Buyers will also be able to get an overview of goods, and know what they are looking for as soon as they enter the residence.
Suiting Every Taste
We find that running a pre-sale appraisal is also a good way to boost estate sale attendance. By being able to advertise specific items of interest, we are able to attract the correct interested parties and not only ensure that the client makes a decent profit, but also that all the items find a new home. This connection can also be extremely important when selling entire lots such as linens and furniture sets. An interested buyer who knows how many units are available is more likely to but the whole set. When attempting to sell the goods piecemeal, it can sometimes alienate a collector if pieces are missing.
While everyone has a distinct decorating style that turns their house into a home, we have also found that many buyers are attracted to estate sales when they know that style is in keeping with their own temperament. By taking a look at our past sales and featured estate sales, interested parties can get a visual sense of what is available, as well as an insightful overview of notable items.
Pleasant Surprises
Neither buyers nor sellers want to be disappointed by an estate sale. This includes not finding the expected goods as well as not getting the appropriate worth for a true antique. Heritage Estate Sales helps to streamline the communication between people who are looking to acquire and people who are looking to pare down. By mediating this partnership in a straightforward and educated fashion, what is old becomes new again in the home of another.
