Estate Sale Tips

-If you have a deadline to empty your home, it is best not to procrastinate. It normally takes two to three weeks to prepare a sale. It is best to contact, meet and select a estate sale company as far in advance as possible to reserve a date. Estate sale companies are busy year round and it may be difficult to get a sale date on short notice.

-Do NOT throw out anything! What you consider junk is someone’s treasure. All too often homeowners throw out valuable or saleable items.  Please leave the sorting and tossing to us.
