Has a Loved One Left Behind a House Full of Valuables?

When a loved one passes away, it can be difficult to pick up the pieces. As you grieve, you are faced with a variety of decisions. One of the biggest questions you need to answer is as follows: what will you do with the person’s home and valuables?

If you are responsible for answering this question, you have a variety of options. While some people throw everything out and immediately put the home on the market, others take a different approach. They realize that holding an estate sale would be in their best interest.

Here are a few steps you should take once you are in the right frame of mind:

1. Walk through the house and take inventory of everything that was left behind. When doing so, make note of what you want to keep, what you can throw out, and what could potentially be sold at an estate sale.

2. Set a timeline. Maybe you are in a hurry to put this process in the past. Or maybe you have no problem taking your time as you review the property and make decisions on what to do next. As long as you have a timeline in place, everything should work out.

3. Contact an estate sale company. This is often times the best decision you can make, as it puts somebody on your side who is experienced in this area. Your estate sale company can answer your questions, tell you how to move forward, and help you setup and manage an event that allows you to liquidate the items you want to sell.
