The Best Estate Services San Francisco Bay Area Offers

By Sherry Gross


There are bereaved families who need to have an estate sale following a family member passing away. At such a sad time that most people do not feel capable of doing a big job such as this. The preparation for such an event can be put in the hands of the best Estate services San Francisco Bay Area can provide to complete such a large project. This relieves the family of the stress associated with it.

Everything, from the most monumental task down to the smallest detail is taken care of for you. A large amount of stress will be diminished. The items in the estate are converted to cash as quickly as possible.

The average person does not know the exact value of many of the items he or she wants to sell. The people offering this type of service will be aware of their worth and how to price them high enough to gain full value. They will also price them low enough to be sold in a timely fashion.

Those who are in the business of running estate sales have knowledgeable people in all types of merchandise. For example, a glass appraiser is someone who evaluates glassware, dishes and other items made of that material. Dishes are assessed on the basis of age, availability and condition.

When someone is interested in a set of beautiful plates, they are worth more if they are rare and hard to find. The same is true of any antiques. It is also true for stamps, coins and other small collectibles. If they are hard to find the value is higher.

When jewelry is included in the sale, a gemologist is available to evaluate it. An art dealer would be consulted if paintings and numbered prints are being sold. A stamp expert would be on the staff to appraise individual stamps as well as large collections.

The storage shed, rented storage space or basement can be sorted out too. What can be recycled will be taken away. Junk will be disposed of and the remaining items donated to a charitable organization. Trash is thrown out and the area left in a neat condition.

Other details are taken care of, such as advertising the sale. Items will be arranged in an attractive way to encourage sales. If there is silver to be polished, dishes to be washed or dusty items to be made clean, that too will be done. Pantries, cabinets and drawers are going to be sorted and emptied in preparation for the sale.

The customer is consulted every step of the way. If there is a disagreement about how high or low to set the prices on items, the customer will prevail. Any conflicting opinions will be settled in favor of the customer.

An estate sale is held with adequate security to protect not only the sale items, but, the home the sale is held in. The sale is conducted in a professional manner. All items are wrapped for the shoppers who purchase them. The family is treated with respect and consideration from the beginning to the end of the sale. The house is left in clean and orderly condition when the estate sale is over.
