There are times when we take a listing and we do the estate sale for the seller in order to prepare the house for sale. What a great time for an open house as well. I have sold a many this way. Everything is a treasure to the seller so we make a plan with the family and unload it all.

Sellers Flat Fee of $2995 when one of our agents sells your home or if you want MLS (where you home is available for all Real Estate Agents to sell) then the best program TODAY is $1495 to us +3 % offered to Buyers Agent for bringing the buyer.  When you understand how agents work you will clearly see why we sell 94% of our homes at or above asking price and why REAL ESTATE AGENTS would rather sell our homes than anyone else’s. The Real Estate Agent gets paid more and the seller saves over 63% on average.

The true cost of “collecting.”One of the hottest TV trends these days are the rags to riches shows about ordinary people who discover hidden treasures at auctions, or estate sales, or by picking through piles of junk in storage units or barns.

Many people do not see any harm in saving as much “stuff” as possible in the hopes that one day it will become valuable enough to sell at a profit.

But like so many other things, myth and reality are often separated by a wide chasm. In most cases, the stored treasure becomes more of a nuisance than a cache.

And while a few items may have some monetary value, there is a definite and real cost of clean-up after the “collector’s” days are over.

The cost of dumpsters, laborers, and cleaners can often exceed any actual monetary value by ten, twenty, or even FIFTY times over.

And the accumulation of one lifetime can become just another final expense that has to be dealt with by the survivors.

It is heartbreaking to see one individual’s concept of treasure being relegated to trash.

Don’t let this happen to your kids. If you don’t need it or can’t sell it, get rid of it!

Because at some point someone else will have to do it.

Sometimes it can be hard to seperate the items from the memories.  Getting rid of the *stuff* doesn't take away from the memories you had.
