I just received a question from someone in Ross, Ca. who wants to know if my company (www.finesf.com ) brings in additional sales items from outside of the home where the estate sale is being conducted.

Here is the short answer: Yes, but only with the permission of the estate executor.

Eleven years ago through a series of events, I found that I had acquired a talent for buying and selling used furniture. Great! I quit my business as a painting contractor and headed into the great unknown. I entered into an underworld of antique sellers and antique buyers. I became a picker. I went to garage sales, flea markets, estate sales, and auctions.
