How to Start an Estate Sales Business
An estate sales business involves selling the content of a property. It might be for a deceased individual or someone getting ready to move into a smaller space or nursing home. In addition to selling the contents, you might also prepare the times for sale. Generally speaking, you get paid by a percentage of the sale price and items are usually sold at auction.
To get started in this business, an understanding of the value of a variety of items is important. For example, understanding name brands, antiques and collectibles will help you command better selling prices for you and your client. To learn these skills, you can read trade publications and attend state sales.
