Performing your due diligence is very important! The Estate Sale Industry is unregulated as there is no governing body that oversees all Estate Liquidators. It is important to check out each company's website and web presence, online reviews, overall reputation and professional credentials.
Check out a Sale:
The best way to observe a potential company is to see how they operate during a sale. For example does each company offer a pleasant shopping experience during the sale? Do they help customers and facilitate sales?
Schedule an In-person Interview
This is a great way to meet the company that will be trusted with your home and possessions, There are no silly questions! You should make sure to ask anything to help you better understand the process.
Ask for Referrals
