So you're looking, looking to liquidate that estate and you're not quite sure what to do.
I'm Blake Kennedy with Kennedy Brothers Estate Services and I'm here to help. Liquidating
someone's estate can be a very difficult task. There's a lot of items you need to know. You
need to first of all contact an attorney and find out what exactly I need to do to liquidate
it. But it's, an estate that you might be able to liquidate everything. Whether you
choose to say "I'm going to have an estate sale and get rid of everything. I'm going
to price it all." But you might be from out of town and you just don't have that time
frame. You might want to look into an estate liquidation company. Somebody that will come
in and help you liquidate it. One that'll give you a choice. Don't have one that just
picks out "hey this is what we can do, take it or leave it". Have one that's going to
give you options. They might say "hey, we can have an auction right here. We can get
rid of it all in one day. And we'll advertise it, mark every item and sell everything in
the house, including the house. Or we can have an estate sale where we go and organize
everything and lay it out on tables and, and price it". That way you have a little more
control of the pricing. You're not leaving it in the hands of an auction. If somebody
says I need to get rid of it in a really quick time, there's companies that will come in
and buy everything outright. They're going to come in and clean out the trash. They're
buying everything but they're factoring in the clean out costs. So you're not making
quite as much money when you have somebody buying it out. You're making pretty good money
when you are actually having an estate sale, because you have control of it. Some things
belong in the estate sale and you can pull some items out and say "hey we're going to
put those on line. And sell them to the world". It's a option that you want to have. You want
to make sure you want to item, you want to realize what you want to do with that estate.
My idea of the estate is to maximize as much money as I can to help them out. Or I just
need to be done with this item. Realize why you want to get rid of the estate. And, and
hire a good estate consultant. My name is Blake Kennedy and I hope that helped.
