Liquidation sales happen for many reasons, and they can feel overwhelming—especially when you're faced with clearing out an entire home. While it might seem ideal to keep everything, that’s rarely realistic. That’s where a professional Estate / Tag Sale company can help.

But how do you choose the right one? Where do you even start?

Here’s a quick checklist to help you find a reputable company you can trust:

✅ Do Your Estate Liquidator Research

The Estate / Tag Sale industry is unregulated—there’s no official licensing body—so it’s important to vet companies thoroughly. Look into:

• Company websites & social media

• Online reviews

• Reputation in the community

• Any relevant credentials or affiliations

  
  

✅ Visit a Tag / Estate Sale in Person

See how they run their sales. Are the staff helpful? Is the sale well-organized? Do shoppers seem engaged? This will give you a clear sense of their professionalism and style.

✅ Schedule a Consultation with Estate Liquidators

An in-person interview is key. Ask questions—even the ones you think are silly. A good company will walk you through the process and help you feel informed and comfortable.

✅ Ask for References from Previous Estate / Tag Sales

Reputable companies should be happy to provide referrals. If they can’t—or won’t—that’s a red flag.

✅ Get It in Writing

Always have a signed contract that outlines:

• Fees and payment structure

• Services provided

• Any specific expectations or policies

At the end of the day, trust your instincts. Choose the company that makes you feel confident and supported throughout the process.
