- Clean out services for clients who have estates with little to no value.
Before you have an estate sale you might want to consider the following:
- Unlike auction companies, (to our knowledge) neither the state of Missouri, or any
Missouri county issues licenses for estate sale companies. Therefore, when dealing
with an estate sale company you are most likely dealing with an un-
licensed company. - Many estate sale companies are not registered businesses and as such have no liability
insurance (most insurance companies will not insure an un-
licensed, un- registered business). By conducting an estate sale on- lie on your property with an un- licensed, un- regulated, un- insured business you expose yourself to substantial liability when they let the public into your home. - In the non-
competitive atmosphere of an estate sale many important and expensive items will undoubtedly sell for far under market value. - Auctions have been the standard for establishing market value for centuries.
