An estate sale is a professionally managed event conducted to liquidate the belongings of a person, often due to downsizing, relocating, or the passing of a loved one. These sales typically involve selling most or all of the items in a house. Estate sale companies handle the arduous process of appraising, advertising, negotiating, managing, selling, and shipping items, which can be overwhelming for individuals or families, especially those experiencing loss or relocation.

In contrast, a garage sale is a smaller, casual event organized by individuals to dispose of unwanted items, which may not always be in working condition. These sales are often a way to declutter and are less structured and formal.

Estate sales differ significantly in scope and execution. They typically involve the entire home, with belongings treated with care and respect. The goal is to find buyers who truly value the items, providing closure for the sellers, whether they are decluttering, downsizing, or seeking a minimalist lifestyle.

The charges are primarily calculated based on the value of the items, the number of items, the square footage of the home, and the scope of work.

An estate sale typically offers a diverse array of items, ranging from vintage and antique treasures to everyday household goods and clothing.
