The Benefits of Hiring an Estate Sale Company

The amount of preparation and time holding your own estate sale is far more than most people realize. There is a ton of organization and research that goes into the sale. Price researching, appraisals, cleaning of items to be sold, staging the home for a sale demand a great deal of time and energy. That is before you even dip your toe into the marketing and advertising of your estate sale. All of this likely occurring when your emotions and stress levels are running high and your energy is running low.

An estate sale is the liquidation of contents inside a home that are often due to the passing of a loved one, illness or relocation to a skilled nursing facility. Estate sale services are also common for people that are moving or downsizing. If you are downsizing, getting divorced or dealing with an inherited property from a loved one who passed, stress and emotions will no doubt get involved as you thumb through a lifetime of belongings.

You may have fond memories of your great-grandparents using their tea service or plateware every day. For you, those memories and the items included in them are priceless. However, the tea set and dishes may be worth very little. Companies like Bulldog Estate Sales do not bring the personal attachment that most will have with personal belongings. It is their job to know the value of items in your estate sale and what they would sell for. While that tea set may not be worth much, the lamp that has sat on the table your entire life could be worth hundreds! The team at Bulldog Estate Sales know the market value for everyday items, art, jewelry, antiques and we have direct access to appraisers to maximize your return and minimize your stress.

The myth that it is expensive to hold an estate sale is just that, a myth. In fact, holding an estate sale does not cost you anything upfront. Bulldog Estate Sales operates off a commission structure. We never charge up front for initial consultations, appraisals, event marketing or the labor needed to get the home decluttered, items priced and the staging for your estate sale. Estate sales will typically be held over a two to three day period, depending on the contents of the house. We are able to liquidate everything from bedroom furniture to vehicles and boats all in the course of a few days.

The major benefit of hiring an estate sale company is the marketing and advertising that is provided. It is our job to get the word out about your estate sale and solicit our list of verified buyers in the area. With digital marketing, nationwide estate sale organizations, local marketing and social media marketing, we are able to reach thousands of potential buyers and put the details of your estate sale front and center to them. With our payment structure, we don’t get paid if nobody shows up to purchase your items, so our objective is to have a line of buyers waiting to get into your sale.
