Estate Sale Etiquette (and How It Makes You Money)

๐Ÿ 

Reputation is a sourcing strategy. The dealers and estate companies who like you will text you before the public ever shows up.

Be early, be kind, be fast

Respect the line, respect the staff, and make clean offers. The relationships compound.

Know your numbers before you walk in

My Estate Sale Sourcing Checklist keeps me from emotional overpaying โ€” the #1 profit killer at sales.
