HOW TO FIND AN ESTATE SALE
In order to have a successful estate sale, you have to know the best way to advertise for it.
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
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.
Estate Sale Signs On The Street
On any given weekend, you’re likely to see Estate Pros estate sale street signs spread around different neighborhoods. Starting Friday morning, you could even see our colorful signs with arrows directing you to an estate sale.
Upon spotting a sign, just follow the arrows. Eventually, you will find your way to a home full of items and treasures for sale. Finding a good Estate Pros estate sale listing is definitely more interesting than stumbling upon a random garage sale or a yard sale!
