How to have a Successful Money Making Estate Sale

By
Real Estate Agent with Main Street REALTORS

I was just involved with an Estate Sale that turned out better than anyone expected without using a professional.  My client needed get rid of 60 years of her family's "stuff" before we could sell her dad's home.  She gathered all her friends and organized an estate sale.  We cleaned up everything and displayed all the home furnishings along with many collectibles and vintage items.  We had very room filled with furniture and furnishing and everything was priced.  We also had the garage filled with garage and yard items.  We advertised on Craig's List and in the Local Advertising paper.  And we got the City License we needed to have a Garage Sale.  On the day of the sale, we had people waiting for us to open.  We only let 10 people in at a time and no kids (there were a lot of breakables).  It was GREAT and by the end of the 2 day sale we had made over $4000.00. and it was fun.  The picture is a sample of what we put on Craig's List.
