Estate Sales Set Up
Think! “How can I attractively set this house up for an Estate Sale – so that everything is displayed and is easily seen?”
- Remove all items from drawers, closets, boxes, cabinets, etc .
- Place fabric items in open boxes to save space.
- Display all items on card tables grouping similar items together.
- For security purposes, place all high value items in one room.
- Try to resist putting a lot of items on top of the furniture. This will make the sale of the furniture and its removal from the house after its sale much easier.
- Remember your own personal life and your schedules.
- Give yourself plenty of time.
