How to Know Which Firm Is Best for You

In order to not only have the most profitable sale, but also trust that your loved one’s belongings and property is being respected, you have to have a trusting relationship with whoever hosts the estate sale. For this relationship to be mutually beneficial and trustworthy, you need to find a company that is willing to meet your personal needs, organize the sale according to your schedule, and respect whatever boundaries you draw.

Interview multiple estate sale firms and check them out on the Better Business Bureau site to eliminate ones with legitimately negative reviews. Ask for references you can check before committing to an estate sale company. (2)

FAQ

What is an estate sale?

An estate sale is a sale involving the possessions of a property after someone in a community has passed away. There are other types known as living estate sales – which involves the sale of an estate while the resident is still alive and able to host the sale themselves.

The goal of sales of this nature is to organize, profit from, and get rid of leftover possessions without the stress of doing so by oneself. Most of the time companies, or estate sale firms, are hired to evaluate the possible profit, organize the possessions, and schedule the sale for the highest return.

What sells best at estate sales?

Most of the time, the best item that sells at La Habra estate sales are small kitchen and housing appliances, decorations, and jewelry. These sell the best because not only are they a fraction of the cost at market value, but they are often well maintained or easily restored. This means that the purchase is more cost-efficient and profitable for both sides.

Other items that are commonly sold are books, furniture, and china. There are other items, still, not listed that are known to sell well at estate sales, but these are by far the most popular. What makes them popular is their accessibility, affordability, and the need in everyday life, no matter the house size they will be sold into.

How is an estate sale handled?

Depending on the goal of the host, estate sales La Habra can vary greatly. If your goal is to organize the entire sale, the approach is very different from those who plan to entrust a firm with the responsibility of the sale’s success. For those planning to host their own sale, it takes a few steps.

Organize all of the items that will be sold.
Determine the price for the items that you plan to sell.
Schedule the sale according to highest marketability.
Host the sale, and find somewhere (whether it be someone else’s sale, a charity, or a disposal of some sort) to put the remaining items after the sale has concluded.

If your goal is to hire a firm, however, the estate sale is handled by the auctioneer doing all of the above steps. It is important to find a company that meets any personal preferences and is willing to work around budgets, schedules, and individual needs.

After the organization of an estate sale is conducted, the actual sale is a very smooth process. This includes the presentation of possessions, the auction of said items, the conclusion of the sale, and then the disposal of the remaining things.

Can you negotiate at estate sales?

Though it is not “wrong” to negotiate at estate sales, many times it is unnecessary to do so. Due to the circumstances under which the sale is taking place, the items are at a very affordable price. These are discounted because most people are not willing to pay full price for an item at a personal sale, as well as the fact that these items are used, and in some cases, very well worn down.

It can also be viewed as disrespectful to try and haggle at estate sales, especially if the items are small and greatly lowered in price already. For things like furniture or larger appliances, however, it is more common as these items will most likely cost closer to market price than other items being sold.
