A professional estate sale service will have all the tools necessary for:

• planning
• promotion
• set-up
• staffing
• conducting the sale
• disbursement of unsold items afterward
  

The process begins with a consultation with the homeowner, family or executor. Once the items for sale have been determined, the professional will be able to appraise each one, researching where necessary, to assure the item's authenticity and make sure the best price is attached to it. This often helps to sell higher-priced items because the value has been determined by a professional and can be documented. At this point, you never know what hidden treasures you'll find!

Next the professional sorts, organizes and tags the items and actually sets up the sale. When you think about browsing through a store, you know every item has been very carefully displayed to catch your attention. Because your professional has experience in setting up estate sales, they will know the nature of customers to these events. The professional estate sale should be displayed so that everything can be easily seen by customers, even if they are just walking through.

Then your visitors come walking through the door on the day of the sale excited to find a bargain or an item they have been looking for. Our goal is to end their search in success while assuring that you get the right price for your items.

Then probably the most difficult part--cleaning up afterward and doing something with any unsold items. An estate sale professional will often be able to sell them off outside of the estate sale if they are somewhat valuable, or will know the best place to disburse them aside from placing them in the trash.
