What is an estate sale?

It’s basically is a massive sale of someone’s personal belongings, akin to a garage sale but on a much greater scale. 

They often involve a significantly bigger volume of sale products and might include high-ticket items, whereas garage or yard sales are typically designated for dumping a few of used discount things.

1. MAKE A LIST OF THE ITEMS YOU WANT TO SELL.

First and foremost, you must determine what you wish to keep, sell, or just discard. If you’re conducting an estate sale following a death, you’re probably trying to unload as many assets as possible. 

If you’re hosting an estate sale because you’re downsizing or relocating, you’ll generally want to be more selective. 

Check the entire house for goods to sell – you might be astonished at how many things you forget you even had!

2. GET PROFESSIONAL APPRAISALS FOR VALUABLE ITEMS

.

We strongly advise you to acquire a professional assessment of anything you intend to sell at your sale. Professional appraisers will ensure that your things are not underpriced or overpriced. 

Furthermore, they will know how much different goods are valued in your region and may assist you in determining whether products such as collector’s items and jewelry are genuine.

3. CONSIDER TEMPORARY STORAGE

Estate sales are rarely completed in a single day. Using temporary storage can assist ease time constraints and free up space during the procedure. 

You may safely store belongings in a self-storage facility while you prepare your sale. Or perhaps even better? Have a STORsquare portable storage container delivered to you so you may keep your goods at home or on the estate sale location. 

This provides you access to goods 24 hours a day, seven days a week while you’re sorting, pricing, and preparing for your estate sale. If you need extra time before the sale, you may have the container shipped to a secure STORsquare Storage Center and then returned to your house or another location when you’re ready to stage the sale.

4. HOLD YOUR ESTATE SALE ON THE WEEKEND.

Hold your estate sale on the weekend to attract the maximum visitors and potential purchasers. 

Keep in mind that holding an estate sale on a holiday weekend might be risky because many people travel out of town. And, even if it is a weekend, never host an estate sale on Christmas or Thanksgiving.

So what are you waiting for? Start using STORsquare for your relocation purposes.

We've got you covered! 💪

I am so glad that we chose STORsquare for our move. Service was excellent! Adam was always available to answer questions, and they were flexible when coordinating dates for delivery, move to storage location, drop-off at new place, AND pick-up. Chris, the driver, was careful with the container during transportation. All our stuff arrived safely to our new place. Definitely recommend!

My experience with STORsquare was phenomenal from beginning to end. I researched several companies and found that they had the largest units for the best price. The customer service was outstanding. My representative explained the everything to me and followed up throughout the process. I highly recommend STORsquare Atlanta.

Everything was very easy. The delivery was timely and efficient. I asked to have it at a certain spot and Chris happily obliged. I am very happy with the unit and where it was placed.

It was a pleasure renting from Storsquare. Prompted in responding to my questions, and was so simple setting up delivery and pickup dates for the pod. Price was perfect for my pocket and so convenient to have the additional storage on property.
