As you prepare for an estate sale, it’s natural to have a variety of questions running through your mind. By answering these questions in a timely manner, you’ll better understand what you should and shouldn’t do to plan and run a successful estate sale

Here are some of the most important questions to address during the preparation process:

•    Will you manage the event yourself or hire a professional estate sale company?

•    Have you decided what to sell, what to keep, what to donate, and what to send to the trash?

•    Are you familiar with the best way to set up your home for an estate sale?

•    Do you have a basic idea of what you want to sell your items for? Do you need to consult with an appraiser for some of your more valuable items?

•    What methods of payment do you plan on accepting?

These are far from the only questions to answer as you prepare for an estate sale, but starting here will point you in the right direction. For example, if you decide to hire a professional estate sale company, you no longer have to concern yourself with managing the process on your own.

Even if you’re just beginning to consider an estate sale, start by answering these key questions, among any others that are on your mind.
