We hope this helps you understand your options. We are often called after a family has spent countless hours working through what to keep and what to do with the rest and wish we could have helped you sooner (before you filled a dumpster and took 30 trips to drop off bags of donation and just can’t do this one more day). We do not expect the house to be perfect or ready. We know this is hard and sometimes overwhelming or embarrassing. It is our job to help get you back to having more time and less stress in your life. It’s what we are here for, so give us a call. We often book sales 3-6 weeks out, so we recommend calling for a consultation as soon as possible.
DO NOT THROW ANYTHING AWAY*
The adage “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” is the rule here. We really do sell everything from cars to paper clips. Determining what to keep is a job for an experienced estate sale specialist. Our clients often want to help by cleaning out cabinets, donating items that don’t appear valuable and getting rid of junk. Everybody knows not to toss the silver and china; but old postcards, campaign buttons, toys, clothes and all of those little household items add up to make a really great sale! Our buyers love finding hidden treasures, so we are happy to help give guidance on how to separate the “trash” from the “treasures”. We also completely understand the emotional and financial benefits to donating items, and support that. If you are simply donating what you think won’t sell, we do ask that you wait though. If it will sell at a thrift shop, it will sell at an estate sale.
