Hiring estate auction professionals

Selling an entire estate or part thereof can mean everything from a garage sale to in-house auction rooms or simply donating to charities . Sometimes , depending on what you have to sell or get rid of , you may want to go down the path of an entire sell off in one tranche or donate the estate to a charity . Auction houses typically look for at least $ 5,000 worth of items to sell and can charge a commission between 35 % and 50 %, depending on the sale .
Things to consider when hiring an estate auction professional :
• Review the contract carefully !
• How long is the process to set-up and have an estate sale ?
