In the beginning…

In the beginning there were rocks and things

Somehow rocks and things became useful

So we formed builder community’s

To build stuff…Lot’s of wonderful Stuff

One Day we wondered how we might sell our stuff

And concluded to Do It Ourselves!

In the beginning…

Innocently enough we began filling a household with a lifetime of personal accumulation, and every so often we put things we no longer needed into the attic, or up in the rafters of our garages.

And this was OK for a while…

After we had filled these places with stuff we started filling the basement, and any other available space in the garage; eventually moving the car outside, so we could make even more room for our stuff.

This worked until it didn’t…

Seriously Folks, maybe you have found yourself in a tough position. You either have too much stuff, have inherited it, or you need to raise money. So you are thinking about having an estate sale, and have called a bunch of estate sales professional in your area.

But You Think They Charge Too Much…

As an estate liquidator, let me just say, I truly think that most of us work extremely hard on behalf of our clients. I understand though that you might really need money, that your estate, or possessions might only have a value of a few thousand dollars. It’s hard to give an estate sales guy a third of such a modest sum.

So you need to do it yourself…

Here is a link to my main website Fine Estate Liquidation, look to the right side bar, and you will see a set of links to a list of questions to ask an estate liquidator. I deliberately refrain from giving the answers to these question out of respect to my readers.

The best way to use these questions is to ask them of at least 3 different estate liquidators – about how they approach the estate sales process.

My feeling is that after you listen to the way each of these estate liquidation professionals answer these questions, you will know which estate liquidator is right for you.
