?How is an estate sale different than a garage sale?
An estate sale is basically a garage sale on steroids. Garage sales are great if you want to sell some items and make a few hundred bucks over a weekend.
Estate sales are used for when you want to sell all (or almost all) of the contents of a home. Estate sales are typically utilized when a loved one passes and you inherit a home, or if you need to downsize homes and need to sell a lot of big items quickly.
?What’s the difference between a Legacy Sale and a traditional estate sale?
Our Legacy Sale is simply a comprehensive and professional version of a traditional estate sale. Estate sales typically aren’t setup or managed very well (even by other estate sale companies), so we sought after to change that.
We are truly accountable to you through our open door policy, our certified appraiser ensures high-ticket items are valued appropriately and you have full transparency into your sale’s profits through our completely digital point-of-sale system. Most other estate sale companies require that you stay out of the home during the process, doesn’t appraise items correctly, won’t advertise your sale and has a “cash only” policy, which makes accounting more challenging.
?Does my family maintain access to the home?
Your family has access to your home throughout the entire process, and is encouraged to walk through the home before and after the sale to see the entire contents of the home laid out and organized, to see if there’s anything else you want to keep. Many families discover heirlooms that were missed during their original pass through the home.
?After the estate sale, is my home completely empty?
Yes. After your estate sale is completed and the vast majority of items are sold and out of the home, we use trash removal services and our partnerships with the Salvation Army to donate any other items that remain. Your home will be completely empty and left broom clean.
?Do you advertise my estate sale to shoppers?
Yes. We have our own proprietary list of over 3,000 professional estate sale shoppers in San Diego that we market your sale to. This is in addition to advertising the sale on estatesales.net, Craigslist and using strategically placed street signage to drive local traffic to your sale.
