Make sure, that they are there to SELL your stuff. Lots of these companies are going to charge you to run these, mark the items that will sell extremely high so that they don't move and then work it into the contract that they can keep what doesn't move. Then they make a killing on EBAY, Facebook etc.......
If you’re a common sense person, you probably don’t feel you have a home in this world right now. If you’re a Christian, you know you were never meant to.

Don't hire it out. Do it yourself. With the help of family, I did my Dad and Mom's place last May. I'd rather family have some of the money for helping me with it than a bunch of folks I don't know. It was work, it was hard, but it didn't kill us, and we got it successfully done.

Just a suggestion. Anything that you think has better than usual value, set it back, and sell it separate or find an expert to look at it. Old coins, watches, jewelry, that ugly painting of soup cans in the back bedroom that says Warhol in the bottom corner, any thing like that. I saw a real ugly antique clock sell for a nice chunk a while back, but the owner originally thought it was just a $10 shelf filler.

We hired someone to do and estate sale after my grandmother died about 10 years ago.
He tells you he can sell it all. He appraised the furnishings and collectables at over 100K.
What he doesn't tell you is he will sell everything at 25 cents on the dollar in order to sell everything and take a cut out of that.
I felt like we got royally screwed.

If you find your item on Ebay, look at the Sold listing for that or similar items. What they are asking for is not what it realistically is selling for. The Sold listing gives a better idea of what something will actually sell for.

any guns, ammo, ammo crates etc? No Sir, I would be taking care of anything like that. Largest items are living room set with couch, chairs, coffe and end tables. Same things in the den - couch, chairs, and tables, kitchen table and chairs, dining room with table, chairs, hutch, china , 3 bedroom sets, lots of lamps, and so much kitchen stuff. Have found 3 different mixers, 3 blenders, 2 griddles. and to many pots, pans, plates to count, 3 fridges, and a freezer.

If you got an Antique or even just an older Kitchen Aid mixer that is working. Its worth a lot more than retail for a new one. Professional chefs and cooking nerds like the old one's better than the new, and I could probably find you somebody that would pay top of the mark for it.

Estate sales are sad . Selling things someone has spent a lifetime acquiring. Also makes you realize we really own nothing, just holding on to it a little while

I am not sure how they value those mixers or even what features are considered desirable or not but there are some serious (mentally questionable) Kitchen Aid collectors out there. Somebody is asking $11,000 for this one. Its a "special edition" owned by somebody fancy I guess. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2253332107...gu&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Estate sales are sad . Selling things someone has spent a lifetime acquiring. Also makes you realize we really own nothing, just holding on to it a little while I agree! One way to deal with treasured items is to give them away to family and friends as you get older and include the story or information about the item as you give them away. My mother did some of this before she died and she looked forward to the act of giving as children and grandchildren came to visit her in her later years.

I had to get rid of my folks stuff less than a couple years ago. Us kids all live about 9 hrs away, so we didn't have the luxury of going back and have time to plan and do a sale. We all got what we could, donated a bunch, then hauled the rest to a landfill. Depressing. And then the sun came up the next morning and life goes on.
