Estate Sales by Riverzedge Publishes New Information Concerning Estate Sales

Estate sales will likely increase in frequency thanks to an aging population, yet one may choose to hold an estate sale due to bankrupcty, relocation or a divorce, reports EstateSalesByRiverzedge.comMcAllen, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/21/2015 -- Approximately 250,000 individuals turn 65 each month in America, according to AARP. As the average life span is 78.8 years, as reported by USA Today, individuals will be seeing more estate sales over the coming decades. Estate sales encompass more than just the selling of a departed individual's goods, however. An estate sale may be held during a divorce, as part of a bankruptcy or when one is moving to a new residence, and individuals need to take care when choosing an estate sale provider to ensure they are being treated fairly.

"Individuals may be tempted to run their own estate sale, whether they are selling off their personal possessions or those of a loved one. The problem with doing so is many aren't versed in personal property appraisal. This may lead to a loss in sales or a loss in profits, as one may underprice goods and not receive their fair value or overprice them so they don't sell," Andrew Smith, spokesperson for Estate Sales by Riverzedge, explains.

Before the sale takes place, clients may request a personal property appraisal. Andrew Smith is certified by Certified Appraisers Guild of America (CAGA) to ensure the process is handled fairly and a detailed inventory of the contents of the home and property is completed. This inventory provides information on the item, its location, and its fair market value, along with appraisal details and a summary report.

"One may use the appraisal process for other purposes also. Some turn to Estate Sales by Riverzedge for insurance purposes, when they will be donating a large quantity of items or during a divorce. Bankruptcy and tax purposes are two other reasons to do so. The appraisal is conducted on site and the two-man team works to avoid any disruptions. Many find this service to be extremely helpful," Smith continues.
