Common Estate Sale Goals: Will You Reach These?

Everyone has their own reason for planning an estate sale. If this is something that’s on your mind, it may be time to take the first step toward planning your event.

While it sounds easy enough to plan and carry out an estate sale, this isn’t always the case. There is a lot that goes into this type of event, especially if you want to do achieve a high level of success.

One of the first things you should do is consult with a professional estate sale company. This alone will go a long way in putting you on the right track.

From there, it’s time to set goals for your event. Here are several goals to consider:

·      To sell almost every last item as to remove clutter from your home (a good estate sale company will average 15-25 percent of physical contents unsold, but will sell 85-95 percent of the value).

·      To earn as much money as possible from the estate sale

·      To enjoy the event as much as possible

By setting these goals, you’ll find it easier to make key decisions as your event closes in. For example, if you’re trying to declutter your home, you’ll want to put as many items as possible for sale. If money is on your mind, pay close attention to how you price each item.

Once you realize that an estate sale is a good idea, turn your attention to goal setting. With a couple of these in mind, you’ll have laser focus as you plan for and carry through with your event.
