Estate Sale vs. Other Sales

Estate Sale vs. Garage Sale: Understand the Difference

·        Estate sales are more formal and structured while garage sales first come, first serve. Unlike yard or garage sales, estate sales operate under a legally binding contract with the homeowner.

·        Estate sales are designed to eliminate an entire estate while garage sales are meant to get rid of old household items. Pricing is based on contractual agreements made with the client. Here you won’t be able to haggle through the pricing as price tags are not up for negotiation. 

·   Garage sales are known for helping you eliminate unwanted household items and, you guessed it, being hosted in your garage/driveway. It is here that you’ll find some of the best opportunities for negotiation

·   At a garage sale, you’ll find some of the best opportunities for negotiation, as homeowners aren’t typically looking to make a profit—they want to eliminate the possessions from their dwelling. 

·   Estate sales are held inside the home and can take place for several reasons, including the death of a homeowner or if a homeowner decides to downsize and relocate.

·   Unlike garage sales, estate sales are the place to discover a large variety of items. Here you’ll find things such as vintage furniture, name-brand clothing, fine china, and rare pieces of art, and much more!
