Basics On How Estate Sales Work

By Katina Brady


There are a couple common situations in which a person or persons might be forced to sell personal property and belongings. Sometimes this is referred to as an estate liquidation or sale. This terminology is applied specifically to the auction or sale of materials owned by a person who is deceased or otherwise needs to dispose of a substantial portion of belongings, often during moves. Estate sales can be found in many parts of the world, including San Ramon, CA.

A common reason for these sales or auctions is death of a property owner. In these situations, the loved ones have a need to liquidate the belongings of the deceased. This might be done when the heirs or survivors are not interested in keeping the belongings left behind by the deceased. Said individuals might also lack the space to store these belongings.

Sometimes survivors or heirs cannot agree on how tangible goods are to be handed out. A judge and court might therefore order that the items be sold through these proceedings. Earnings are then be divided between the heirs, once debts are paid in full.

The will of a deceased person might mandate this action. In these situations, the deceased person has expressed their desire to have all assets sold. The sales might be carried out by property owners planning on moving to a new residence. They may have to get rid of a large amount, or all, of their property before moving to a new space, which may be the home of a loved one, retirement community, rest home or assisted-living facility.

Arrangements are often set up by professionals who are given a percentage of the revenue as their pay. These liquidators might also charge people for the costs associated with putting the sale together, including: research, refreshments, labor, security, advertising and marketing. People should always look over the details of services prior to accepting them. Specifics regarding sales will range by jurisdiction and other factors. Certain regions might require permits and sales tax, and enforce advertising limits.

Many might prefer the aid of these professional liquidators, especially following the death of a loved one. It can be an overwhelming process, especially while survivors are grieving and managing other important arrangements. Liquidators are knowledgeable and experience when it comes to pricing goods and more. They can provide advice, answer to questions and information related to concerns. Seek out the best in the area by doing research, including comparing available services and prices.

A lot of people might want to attend these, but not all will be able to fit in the property at the same time. To control crowding, a sign-up sheet might be used at the door or numbers might be issued to shoppers. The company handling the sale will set it up so that crowding does not become a problem.

Of course, people who are admitted first have the first choice of all the goods. Find out the rules in advance, as kids may not be allowed to attend. Property that is available for sale will vary, but generally the objective is to sell most or all of the contents of the property through this process.
