There’s a big difference between a flea market and a premium retail experience. Aside from the nature of the products on the sale, the big differentiator is one of presentation. A flea market is a collection of items packed onto a table for people to browse. A premium retail establishment is about the carefully structured shopping experience. There’s an atmosphere, there’s an aesthetic, and, perhaps most important of all, there’s a method to the organization, with careful consideration for placement, pricing, and making sure everything looks its best.
This is the same kind of thoughtfulness that Heritage Estate Sales has been bringing for years to the Los Angeles area when clients come to us to manage their estate sale. It’s an important part of making sure that the people who attend an estate sale not only have a pleasant experience, but can easily find those items that appeal to them at prices that have been professionally assessed. After all, while our clients may not necessarily know the true value of every piece of jewelry or art work in an estate, we have the experience to appraise them, and ensure they are accorded a proper position during the sale, giving prominence and emphasis to the high value items that deserve it. And it’s not just the estate items that are carefully polished, positioned and placed. If required, the home and rooms the estate sale takes place in also get the premium treatment, giving the entire space a dramatically different look and feel. It also sets the tone for the entire estate sale period, letting the attendees know that this isn’t just a random garage sale or swap meet with items of dubious value.
Of course, not every estate sale can or should be staged. Many factors come into play, including the scope and scale of the estate. If you’re in the greater Los Angeles or surrounding areas, and would like to know whether your estate sale could benefit from professional staging, get in touch with us at Heritage Estate Sales via phone, e-mail, or this website.
