Questions to Ask Before Hiring an Estate Liquidation Service

A short checklist for choosing a provider with confidence.

Whoever you choose will be in a private home handling meaningful things. These questions help you choose well.

  • Will you put the scope, fees and commissions in writing?
  • Are clearing fees separate from sale commissions?
  • Who actually performs valuations, and what are their qualifications?
  • Are you insured? Can you provide proof?
  • How are items I want to keep protected?
  • How do you handle regulated items such as firearms?
  • What records will I receive at the end?
  • Can you provide references from clients who have agreed to be contacted?

A trustworthy provider will welcome every one of these questions.
