An estate sale contract is a written document that clearly outlines the agreements and responsibilities of all parties involved.
You decide it’s time for an estate sale, you jump online and call a few companies, schedule an interview, and discuss the details of your upcoming estate sale. Before you’re quick to schedule the sale, make sure the agreements you discussed are in writing, here are just a few reasons why.
The estate sale industry is not a regulated industry, therefore anyone can make a verbal promise to you during the interview and later not be required to uphold those agreements.
A written contract agreement outlines important details that will eliminate any misunderstandings between you and the estate sale company you hire. The contract itself will have a lot of information but here are a few you will find very important.
Hold an Estate Sale
Responsibility and Liability
A contract for an estate sale will outline the responsibilities and liabilities of each party involved, it will also discuss scheduling details, and actions you can expect from a professional estate sale company.
You will also have a detailed outline of what your responsibilities are, what’s to be included in the sale, when you need to give the company access to the home, what happens if items are removed from the sale, and if additional involvement is needed.
Organizing, Marketing, and Final Clean Out
Why guess or take a chance on things you may think you’re expecting, having an estate sale contract will clearly define the organization, marketing, sales process, and what will happen with the items left over after an estate sale.
Having all the information verbally discussed properly outlined in writing will make the process easy and hassle free.
