When should you complete your estate liquidation?
Timing is everything in life, and so is the scheduling of your estate liquidation! Most people look to schedule their liquidation around the same time they are selling their home. These are the three scheduling scenarios that usually work best:
BEFORE LISTING THE HOME FOR SALE
Typically for overly cluttered or hoarder homes in which your realtor has suggested you empty.
JUST BEFORE THE SALE CLOSING
You have a buyer in place and have secured a purchase agreement. The Estate Pros conduct the estate clean out and donation in a single day, emptying the home within a week or two before closing. The closing occurs and you turn the keys over to the new homeowner.
JUST AFTER THE SALE CLOSING
The home is sold and closed on, you’ve secure a predetermined move out date post closing (leaseback or rental term). The Estate Pros conduct your single day estate clean out and donation within a week or two of your move out date. The house is vacuumed and broom swept. You can move out and turn the keys over to the new homeowner.
How to prepare for an estate donation & clean out
Having a well thought out plan is important to having a successful estate liquidation. Here are some preliminary steps to consider before donating.
- Take an inventory of the home. A thorough inventory and search of the home will begin preparing you for your donation.
- Remove any personal or sensitive items that you don’t want to donate. If it’s something personal or valuable that you don’t want to donate, removing or securing it is essential.
- Photograph the contents. A cataloged reference, either in photo or in video format, can serve as documentary evidence of the donation should it be necessary.
- Try and stay organized and create lists if necessary.
- Partially organizing and cleaning up the home is helpful.
- Throw away as much of the trash or unusable items as possible. An initial decluttering will make the donation process much easier.
- Know what you want to donate. Clearly identifying the scope of your project to the Estate Pros will make the donation process a lot smoother.
- If you have prior appraisals for any of your items, let the Estate Pros know, we can assess these evaluations for accuracy and use them to determine potential final appraisal values.
