Why hire an estate sale company instead of doing it yourself?
Simply put—it is typically faster, easier, and more profitable.
Managing an estate sale requires extensive time, research, pricing knowledge, staging, marketing, and crowd control. Most families quickly realize how overwhelming the process can be.
Georgia Gold Estate Sales handles:
- Research and strategic pricing
- Professional staging and merchandising
- Advertising and promotion
- Managing buyers and negotiations
Our established buyer network helps sell more items in less time, while you avoid the stress of managing everything yourself.
How successful is the average estate sale?
On average, professionally managed estate sales sell approximately 85–90% of all marketable items.
Estate sales are designed as short-term liquidations, typically conducted over just a few days. Unlike retail or consignment shops—where items may sit for months or years—estate sales use strong marketing, urgency, and strategic pricing to move inventory efficiently.
At Georgia Gold Estate Sales, prices are carefully researched and adjusted throughout the sale based on buyer demand to maximize total results and minimize what remains.
How many items do I need to host an estate sale?
Every estate is different. You do not need a large home or a collection of antiques to have a successful sale.
In addition to furniture and household goods, many items attract strong buyer interest, including:
- Tools
- Lawn and garden equipment
- Seasonal décor (especially Christmas and Halloween)
- Vintage clothing
- Baby items
We are happy to evaluate your inventory and provide honest guidance. If an estate sale is not the best option, we will recommend an alternative that better fits your situation.
