When converting your hard asset into cash, there are lot of factors in play when you are selling a house and liquidating the estates. Though you may be tempted to try to hold a garage sale on your own, once you begin you will quickly realize that this task is time consuming, frustrating and you have a lot more stuff than you ever imagined.
Many people start the process and quickly & abandon it simply due to the sheer volume of items they have to sort through. Another reason not to do it by yourself is; you may unwittingly throw out something that looks like junk, but actually it’s a highly valuable treasure. And, an estate liquidator knows its real value.
When you turn to an estate liquidator below are a few factors you should always consider…
Issues Before Contracting with an Estate Liquidator
Before contracting with an estate liquidator there are a few major issues that you should consider and prepare for.
- If you are selling vehicles or any titled means of transportation you should be sure you have the title and registration and are legally able to sell those items.
- Be sure you have all of your paperwork in order such as a will or Power of Attorney. The liquidator will need this to verify that you can sell the goods on the property and enter into the contract.
- If it’s a family heirloom, be sure that everyone in the family agrees to sell the possession, get it in writing from each of them.
- Ensure the liquidator can hold the estate sale in the time frame you need. Many are booked in advance which may not work if you have a sales contract.
- Be sure the liquidator you choose is reputable, bonded and insured. Reputable & professional liquidators will require that your estate items’ insurance is up-to-date.
- Be sure you include in the contract what the liquidator is to do with any items that are unsold at the end of the sale.
- If you want the property “broom clean” and ready to sell at the end of the sale, make that is in the contract.
- By all means contact multiple companies and meet in person with each of them to show you the estates and its contents. No one can give you a valid quote of even their commission if they haven’t seen what it is they are selling.
