It may be time, for a variety of reasons or circumstance, to change your living arrangements and go from a large home to a smaller one. A daunting challenge on a good day, and there are many things to consider. Think about the furniture you have, and what to keep, what to sell or give.
If you have a large extended family, sending some of your collected treasures on to them makes part of this process much easier. For the rest, especially if you have large collections of specific things you may want to talk with an estate auction service.Â
Estate Auction – Not Just For Foreclosure or Heirs
Estate Auction services have people who specialize in valuing and offering your valuables for sale to a good market. There is no reason the handmade lace needs to go for 25 cents at a yard sale. There is nothing wrong with using a service like this to help you down size. You may find your moving expenses are a little less hefty from the reduction and that you have some spare cash after the sale to buy the new rose bushes for the new front garden. Have a look in your printed or on-line yellow pages for local estate auction services in Ponte Vedra real estate.
But That Dining Suite Was Made For That Dining Room!
It is possible that you may have a beautiful dining suite and it will never fit into the new house. There is no reason that you can’t offer it with the home as part of the incentive to sell the home.
Or the beautiful master bedroom set that has the floor to ceiling corner posts, what a lovely thing it is in that grand room. Too bad you’d have to cut a foot off the top to get it in the new house. There is another opportunity to add an incentive to the sale of the home.Â
Do not get locked into conventional thinking. Many younger people moving up into a larger home do not yet have the furniture to suit the rooms and may be willing to put some more cash into the sale if you are willing to part with your Jacksonville Beach real estate treasures.
