Seven Steps for Estate Sale Success
1. Contact Beacon Estate Sales to Discuss Your Sale
While we may be able to schedule your sale with as little as two weeks notice, popular dates fill up fast, so we recommend contacting us at least 30 days before you plan to hold your sale.
2. Schedule a Complimentary Walk-Through
One or two of our managing partners will schedule a time to meet with you in person to go over the items for sale and the logistics of holding a sale in your home to see if an estate sale is a viable option. There is no charge for a walk-through.
3. Pictures and Advertising
About two weeks before your sale, we will come to your house to make an inventory of items for sale and take pictures. Then we will begin advertising your sale through our website, social media, online estate sale platforms and more.
4. Separate the Items You Are Keeping.
Final decisions should be made about what you are keeping and those items should be clearly marked, packed away or moved to an off-limits “safe room.”
5. Staging and Pricing
The week of your sale, our team will arrive to organize and display your items, as well as price them for sale after thorough research.
6. The Big Day! (Your Estate Sale)
Your sale will be fully staffed with sales associates, furniture movers and a cashier taking cash and credit.
7. After the Sale
We will leave your house “broom clean” and will be happy to make recommendations about consigning, donating or cleaning out unsold items. Your check and items-sold inventory will be mailed to you within two weeks.
