The Difference Between Yard Sales and Estate SalThere are some similarities between yard sales and estate sales. For example, the main goal of each is to sell your belongings. However, knowing the differences between the two types of sales will help you to figure out which is the best approach for your current situation.
Yard Sales
When you downsize or relocate, you will probably come across a few miscellaneous items that you want to sell. If you’re looking to sell just those few items, then typically you would sell them at a yard sale. This type of sale system usually takes place in your garage, driveway, or even sometimes your front lawn depending on the number of items you are trying to sell. In most cases, yard sales take place over just one day, and the items that you are selling are, in most cases, low in value
Estate Sales
If you’re planning on selling most of the contents of your home, as opposed to just a few miscellaneous items, then an estate sale may be the right way to go. Estate sales involve selling greater content of your home and are, in most cases, conducted by a professional. Estate sales are more of a production than yard sales. When you hire a professional to help you with your estate sale, they will go through your home and organize, price, and advertise the sale. The estate sale professional will also conduct the sale, which can last up to four days.
