Are you looking to make extra money? You can host an estate sale! It’s the perfect way to make money while getting rid of clutter. Estate sales are also helpful when you become an estate executor and have to devise a plan to clean out, make repairs, and more.

This seems like a lot of hassle, don’t you think? Let Smith Top Team Realtors help you with estate sales. Here’s how you can carry out a successful estate sale:

An estate sale is a liquidation or auction to clean out unnecessary clutter owned by someone, deceased or alive. You can sell all items that are old, unwanted, or no longer in use.

Smith Top Team Realtors is your go-to strategic partner to come up with a comprehensive estate sale plan. Follow this estate sale process:

We start with the inventory of the items you will want to sell or get rid of. If you’re hosting an estate sale for a deceased, you will liquidate most of their assets. Contrarily, you will want to be more careful if you’re hosting an estate sale to downsize or before moving out. It involves checking the property to make a list of items you want to sell.

This is the trickiest part of carrying out an estate sale, especially when you’re doing it on a deceased person’s behalf. Antiques and rare items have a consistent price but item price vary based on where the sale is hosted.

You may have an emotional attachment to an item, but buyers won’t. Don’t let your sentiments dictate the price. We help you set a reasonable price bracket. Another way to price items you will otherwise toss is to group them together to set them up for a bargain.

Quick Tip: Add details for each item along with the price so the buyers will know what the item is worth.

The next step is to get the items appraised. Smith Top Team Realtors can evaluate the property and the items you are selling before the estate sale. We can help determine if items are overpriced or underpriced to set up a proper pricing strategy.

We can also spot valuable items or collector’s items so potential buyers would know that they are the real deal.

A little TLC can enhance the appeal of an item. Quick wash, repair, or paint can transform an item to make it worth selling. As your strategic partners, we can determine whether an item needs a quick fix, an easy mend, or a cleanup so you can get the best deal.

You cannot host a successful sale without getting the word out. Advertising your estate sale is necessary to get more people to show up. Smith Top Team Realtors help with the marketing of your estate sale in the best time frame.
