The popularity of estate sales continues to rise year over year. For many, it’s become their weekend shopping destination, with most shoppers looking for everything from furniture, artwork, decor, housewares and kitchenware. Some even look for cars, guns and jewelry. Estate sale days often bring a frenzy as shoppers and dealers search for good deals on an assortment of items. As some estate sales come to a close, you may even be able to find deeply discounted items on the last day. One of the biggest problems shoppers continuously state is “how to find an estate sale?” This page will show you avoid this common issue.

How to Find and Estate Sale

Where’s the best place to find all these great local estate sales and deals? The Estate Pros offer sales all over southeastern Michigan; just check our listings on GoEstatePros.com. Need to search further? Check major estate sale industry websites such as EsateSales.net or EstateSale.com for estate sale listings. Maybe you live in a rural area or a smaller city where there aren’t as many estate sales. If this is the case, you may want to try the local pages of websites like Craigslist, Facebook, etc., to find local estate sales. In bigger towns and cities, you’re likely to find estate sales & auctions on estate sale listing sites and social media.

Local-Estate-Sales---Newspapers-

Local Estate Sales – Newspapers

Most newspapers have significantly reduced their print distribution in favor of online publications. In small cities, however, daily or weekly newspapers are still prevalent. These local newspapers typically maintain a decent online presence as well.

Circulation

Check the classified section of your local daily printed newspaper on the day before the sale. Most estate sales, also known as “estate auctions,” “tag sales,” or “moving sales,” begin on Friday, so check Thursday’s paper.

Most papers are published on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. These publications should allow you to find most upcoming estate sale listings before the weekend.

Online News

Your local paper typically offers classified ads online as well. Look for the local estate sales advertisements in the days leading up to the sale, specifically on the Thursday before. If the paper only publishes online once a week, the ads should be available on publication date.

Community Bulletins

Bulletin boards are not as popular as they used to be, but in some neighborhoods, they still play a small role in advertising estate sales. When you visit a grocery store, library, or any other popular local venue, look for the bulletin board to discover any local estate sale listings.

Response from the owner: Thanks Jeff, always a pleasure to assist you!
Estate Pros managed to clear my Mother's house out in less than 5 hours! They sent pictures to show me the empty rooms, which was great. I also appreciate that they worked with Habitat for Humanity, and that some of the items from the house will help that organization. That would have made my Mother as happy as it makes me.Edit: I had to ask Jonathon to change the donation paperwork due to MY error, and he sent me the new forms in less than 24 hours! Thanks again!!!
Response from the owner: Thanks Karen! It was a pleasure to serve as your Sylvan Lake Michigan estate liquidation company!
Jonathan, owner of Estate Pros, did a great job cleaning out my brother’s house before it could be sold. He had an excellent crew. Also I appreciate the donation to Habitat For Humanity and the potential for a tax write off. Estate Pros is a one-stop-shop experience. If you have enough for an estate sale he can do that, too. His prices are reasonable and the service is excellent.
Response from the owner: Thanks Barry!
This was a great experience! Very professional, quick and clean!

I was feeling overwhelmed after my family member passed away. The house was full of belongings and I didn't know where to start. Estate Pros helped with everything. I didn't have to even think about what needed to be done. The people/crew that did the heavy lifting were helpful and efficient. They were very forthcoming with all of the paperwork and tax documents.

Jonathan and crew did an absolutely fabulous job from beginning to end.
Response from the owner: Thanks folks! We appreciate you entrusting the Estate Pros with your Donation & Home Clean Out!
I cannot rave enough about Jonathan, the Estate Pros and his entire team! We sold my Mother-in-law's home very quickly with an extremely quick closing date. We needed to figure out our next steps in how to get her home ready for closing. Jonathan met us on short notice and scheduled the move out to be done immediately. As soon as I met with Jonathon, we were totally at ease-but once we saw the finished results-we were blown away! His service, communication and end results were excellent! I am so grateful to have been recommended to use Estate Pros!
Response from the owner: Thanks Janet! We appreciate your kind words, it was such a pleasure to assist your family!
Jonathan and his team are fantastic! They are extremely professional and very good at what they do. I couldn’t recommend them enough.
Response from the owner: Thanks Josh! It was a pleasure to serve as your Bloomfield Hills Michigan estate liquidation company!
I cannot say enough of the seamless process of clearing out my parents home, along with the estate sale and donation. It was a very emotional time having recently losing my Mother, but Jonathan and and Jay did such a thorough job. The amount of detail taken with the listings, the labor intensive clean out and cleanup, and being so careful to not create any damage. I am so thankful and appreciative. When the time comes to sell my home, I have comfort in knowing that Estate Pros will do a five star job!
Response from the owner: Thanks Suzanne! It was a pleasure to serve as your Bloomfield Hills Michigan estate sale company!

Estate Pros was very easy to work with and completed everything as promised. Jonathan was always responsive to any questions and was very easy to get a hold of. My mom had passed away and her house needed to be emptied out so the house could be sold. I highly recommend Estate Pros and Jonathan and would use them again if the need ever arose again.
Response from the owner: Thanks Gregg! It was a pleasure to serve as your Lapeer Michigan estate liquidation company!
