2. Setting the date and preparing the site for the Orlando estate sale:
Estate sales normally take at least seven to ten days after the contract is signed to hold the actual sale. Estate Sales of Orlando will need access to the location of the sale in order to start the process of setting up the Orlando estate sale. Estate Sales of Orlando will then start preparing all the estate sale merchandise, by cleaning, making minor repairs, sorting, and taking inventory of the items to be sold. Our Orlando Estate Sales Company will also start pricing the estate sale collectibles, based on our experience and on fair market values. Remember, the more we make on your estate sale, the more your make! Some furniture, antiques, and estate sale collectibles take a little more time to determine their fair market value. We fully research these items to ensure you get the best price. Any personal items such as family heirlooms, money, furniture, antiques, collectibles, appliances, jewelry, clothing, household goods, that you wish to not include in the Orlando estate sale are removed from the sale site.
3. Setting up the Estate Sale:
Estate Sales of Orlando starts the marketing process of the sale by advertising to our database of customers via email, newspapers, fliers, as well as on other internet sites. Photos and descriptions of the sale merchandise included in the estate sale will be part of the marketing materials. Our Orlando Estate Sales Company also starts setting up the actual Orlando estate sale by providing the necessary tables, chairs, display cases and other materials needed for the sale.
4. The Actual Estate Sale:
Estate Sales of Orlando opens your sale on Friday and runs the Orlando estate sale through Sunday. Times normally run from 9am until 4pm. We usually find a line of eager shopping customers waiting to enter the Orlando estate sale site in search of all varieties of merchandise included in the estate sale. During the event, our staff are on hand to assist the shopping customers. We constantly monitor the estate sale site during the hours that we are open for shopping. Estate Sales of Orlando also contacts you, should any questions come up during the event that need your input. During the sale, all merchandise sold are accounted for by a receipt and noted in our ledger. Estate Sales of Orlando also accept Visa, Mastercard, and Discover cards as payment to make buying at our estate sales easier. Most of the merchandise of value are sold during the first day of the sale. In order to encourage the shopping customer during the second and third day of the estate sale, our Orlando Estate Sales Company will offer a 25% - 50% discount off prices on Saturday and on Sunday of all remaining merchandise. Some items still available for the estate sale will not be discounted due to their potential resale value and will instead be carried forward to another estate sale that Estate Sales of Orlando conducts.
5. After the Orlando Estate Sale:
After the sale is completed, we start the clean up process. Based on the extent of the work needed, Estate Sales of Orlando may work into early the following week to complete the clean up of the sale site. Normal clean up is included in the fee that our Orlando Estate Sales Company receives. Unusual or extensive removal of the remaining estate sale furniture or estate sale merchandise, will be discussed and price negotiated prior to the actual sale. We will also assist in disposal of the remaining estate sale goods as donations to the charitable organization of your choice. A receipt of this charitable donation will be provided to you.
