Thinking About Having an Estate Sale?
If you are exploring the option of having an estate sale, there are probably many questions that you have about the process. Is your home in the right area? Do you have enough inventory and the right items to meet the demands of buyers? Is it the right time of year? We are happy to take your call and discuss the potential of having an estate sale for you. If everything sounds good, we will come by the property for a free consultation to examine some of the items and sit down with you and your family to answer any questions that you may have.
Sought After Estate Sale Items
In the West Georgia and North Atlanta area there are no shortage of estate sales that happen on a weekly basis. Some of the things that will set your sale apart from the others is the type of items that will be for sale at your location. Items such as coin collections, vehicles, fine jewelry, war collectibles, tools, sports memorabilia, artwork and antiques are some great ways to set yourself apart from the other sales and demand the attention of buyers. Inserting these items into an estate sale drives more revenue than you would get selling directly to a dealer. Our pricing structure and lowered commission rates make it attractive to both the seller and the buyer.
Fair Market Appraisal
Regardless of the amount of marketing and turnout for your estate sale, having items that are underpriced or overpriced can be the deciding factor in how well your estate sale performs. Our team does due diligence for all items included in your estate sale from a kitchen fork to a bedroom suite in finding the current market price, what the average sales price is and what a fair price would be for both the seller and the buyer at an estate sale.
The industry average is to price items at or around a 40% deduction of current retail or online value. Why? Unlike retail stores or online sellers who have the advantage of placing something on the shelf and waiting for the right buyer, estate sales are typically held over a 2-3 day period and any sale missed during that time cannot be made up. Items need to be priced to entice the buyer and let them know that they are getting a deal. Many of our buyers are owners of antique, furniture or collectible stores, so they are buying to turn around and sell to their customers. Like many estate sales companies, we start off with a pricing structure that reduces during the time of your estate sale. For example, an item that starts off at $100 on Thursday becomes $75 on Friday and $50 on Saturday. Estate sale buyers and shoppers are familiar with this type of pricing structure.
Estate Liquidation Sales Team
When the weekend of your estate sale arrives, the team that is placed at your estate sale will be one that has been working on the appraisal, staging, marketing and advertising of your event. The team will be well versed and knowledgeable about the items included in your estate sale, their value and the ability to deal with buyers and shoppers who are interested in the items included with your estate sale. This is how we get paid, they get paid and you get paid. Nobody wins in a scenario where items go unsold during your estate sale. The forementioned marketing and appraisal ensures that your estate sale is widely publicized and priced at a fair value. Our sales team are the closers and they are there to ensure that the buyers are happy with pricing and selection and that you are happy with the value received for all items that are sold.
We know that you have a lot of options when it comes to hiring an estate sales company. We also know that you will deal with a lot of companies who fall short in what they pitch to you during the initial consultation. We choose to be transparent about the steps and approach that we take to ensure that you have a successful and profitable experience with your estate sale.
