To get the right estate liquidation answers…

Ask the right estate liquidation questions…

It is important to have the right answers. Information is the key to making great decisions. It is through the asking of the right estate liquidation questions that one arrives at the most useful and productive estate liquidation answers.

So I have written a list of all the estate liquidation questions I can remember having been asked in the last 12 years. You can find them here Estate Sales Questions, or you can click on one of the links in my sidebar.

I have visited and read a lot of estate liquidation websites. Most are informative, and there seems to be many estate liquidators who are trying their very best to give their visitors valuable information about their services.

However the trend is to:

  1. Pose ten or more estate liquidation questions.
  2. Answer their own questions.

These estate liquidation companies are giving you a few questions they think you should be asking, and then they give you their answers to those questions.

Seems a bit of a production to me.

Here are my suggestions for finding the right estate liquidation questions to ask, and a process for how to use the estate liquidation answers you get.

  1. Follow the Estate Liquidation Questions link above, it’s complimentary.
  2. Follow the outlines that you find there.
  3. Ask these questions of 3 different estate liquidation company representatives.
  4. Contrast their answers.

Estate Sales Tag Sales What to do with Stuff? Who do you call?

Your Mom or Your Dad or someone special has passed away and they chose you to be their executor. Big honor. Big job.

Let’s say you have a relatively easy estate, one with modest assets to manage; one with fellow heirs who are in line with the wishes of the decedent. Selling the house is easy; you hire a real estate professional. Legal advice, you seek a competent professional attorney. Stocks and bonds, you look up a professional fiduciary.

The above professionals are regulated; each has a code of ethics, and is duty bound by law to act in your best interest.

Your good so far, that is until you start to wonder what to do with a life time of the accumulated personal effects of the decedent.

My name is Martin Codina and I am an estate liquidator. My company Fine Estate Liquidation has been helping people since 1996 (www.finesf.com).

In my state California, there are no licensing laws governing the “Estate Sale Professional”. Because of this you have to rely on referrals and your good sense.

“Stuff” is different. It is thought to be full of memories or to somehow be imbued with the person who once owned them. And this makes it all the more important to find someone you can trust, a professional, who understands that there are emotions tied up in the things you want to sell.

I am an estate liquidator and I respect you while I do my job.

The interesting world of estate liquidation

June 3, 2007

The interesting world of the estate liquidation business:

Estate Liquidation is one of the more unique jobs that one can have. It is a back stage pass to the greatest story never really told. In theater, there is something called the fourth wall. It is the imaginary wall made of thin air that separates actors from their audience.

Each of us has a wall like this in our homes. It is what divides our private space from our public space. Since childhood we have been taught not to enter this private space. We learned that we are never to go into their drawers, closets, or bedrooms unless we are invited.

Very few people ever get this permission. One such person is the estate liquidator; some one like me. My name is Martin Codina I founded Fine Estate Liquidation 10 years ago (www.finesf.com)

Everyone that calls me has a problem. They’re moving, downsizing, retiring to a home, or they have suffered the terrible loss of a loved one dying. What are they to do with all the excess “stuff” in their homes? Who do they call? Who do they trust to go behind the scene with them and help them decide?

My job is to help them come up with rational solutions to the kind of problems they never have had to face before; accomplish for them, something few people have had the training to do.

I am an estate liquidator and I like my job.
