Even with the weather turning, there are still plenty of estate sales scheduled for the next few weeks. Are you pondering a sale of your own in the near future? If so, you may want to think about 2016 for scheduling your event.

We are only a couple months away from the end of the year. Even though you have the ability to organize and schedule an estate sale without delay, you don’t want to rush through this. You don’t want to move so quickly that you overlook some of the most important details, such as gathering everything you want to sell.

This is why now is the time to plan an estate sale for the new year. Doing so begins with these basic steps:

·      Decide why this is the best idea. For example, you may be moving into a new home at some point in 2016. With an estate sale early in the year, you can earn some extra money for the move while also decluttering.

·      Take inventory of what to keep and what to sell. This is one of the most important steps you will take, so make sure you give it the necessary amount of attention.

·      Get professional help. An estate sale is more than a basic garage sale. This takes things to the next level. When you hire a professional estate sale company, you don’t have to worry about making mistakes or any minor details holding you back.

Give yourself the next couple months, including the holiday season, to get ready for your estate sale. As you continue to prepare, you will begin to realize this is a great decision. For those who have questions, we are always here to help.
