Understanding the Timeline of Home Liquidations and Estate Sales
Factors that affect the timing of the event
The Estate Sale typically lasts 2 days, with larger sales lasting a third day. These sales are usually held over the weekend, to attract the most amount of people with the most amount of disposable income, which will be a higher paying audience overall. While the estate sale itself is conducted in 2 or 3 days, the entire process could take as long as 30 days. Some of the factors that can extend the time that it takes to complete a home liquidation are listed below.
- Preparation
- Cataloging
- Researching
- Pricing
- Staging
- Advertising
- Buy Out Men
- Charity Trucks
- Cleaning Crews
- Trash Dumpsters
Any of these factors could extend how long it may take for the entire process to be completed. Estate sales are almost always held on weekends, and most good estate liquidators will be booked often several weeks out.
