Читать книгу Hiring an Estate Liquidator That's Right For You - Julie Hall - Страница 3

Many people are under the impression that an estate liquidator is someone who puts on glorified yard sales. Nothing could be further from the truth! Professional estate liquidators wear many hats on any given day with a common goal for their client as well as for themselves:

•maximize sale proceeds,

•lighten the burden of our client families, and

•help the clients move forward.

In the process of doing so, they must possess a great deal of knowledge to guide their clients along the way. They don't just organize and set up for a sale. They:

•clean items that haven't seen the light of day in decades,

•tirelessly research these items,

•make calls to private buyers that will be interested in a particular item or collection,

•figure out the best way to set up to maximize the sale,

•price items appropriately,

•coordinate sending high end items to proper selling venues,

•coordinate all crews,

•manage the clients, and the list goes on.

Often the client is not aware of just how much back-breaking work and time is invested before the door ever opens for the estate sale. The liquidator takes 50, 60, 70 years of accumulation and sorts through it, researches it, cleans it, organizes it, and sells it within a week or so.
