About the Estate Sale Industry

Once upon a time, estate sales were a rare occurrence. Most people owned few durable possessions, and the majority of those items were handed down through the generations. In more modern times, most people amass huge amounts of household goods throughout their lives, which can leave them feeling overwhelmed by the sheer mass of cherished treasures.

It’s a fact that thousands of Baby Boomers are reaching retirement age every day – and many of them (or their families) are ready to move into their next chapter with a simpler lifestyle and less stuff. Enter the modern estate sale, a convenient way to clear out clutter and start fresh with seasoned, professional assistance.

What Is an Estate Sale?

Sometimes called a tag sale, an estate sale is a way of selling the entire contents of a home in a quick and organized manner. Estate sales are different from garage sales, yard sales and auctions in important ways. First the estate sale takes place inside the home, rather than outdoors. Items for sale are enticingly presented, as they might be in a retail store, and clearly marked with a fixed price. Finally, there is non haggling or bidding at an estate sale because everything has been vetted and priced ahead of time.

Items typically included in estate sales include furniture, artwork, jewelry and tableware – but any tangible asset can be sold at an estate sale. At Blue Moon, we’ve seen everything from 18-karat gold bangles to cabinet hardware get snatched up by eager buyers. The great diversity of belongings our clients seek to sell means every event we host is entirely unique.

Our clients’ circumstances vary as much as their treasures. Some are downsizing, some are relocating, and some are liquidating a loved one’s property. What do they have in common? They are overwhelmed by the hard work that goes into hosting and estate sale – so they turn to professionals like Blue Moon to handle everything from researching market value to staging and organizing to overseeing sale day transactions. Yes, an estate sale is a major undertaking, but we’ve got it down to a science.

Why Estate Sales Are the Perfect Downsizing Solution for Your Clients

Downsizing can be overwhelming. Yard sales and online marketplaces often lead to undervalued items and require significant effort. Estate Sales with Blue Moon ensures your client gets the most value for their belongings while we handle the heavy lifting—from staging and pricing to managing the sale itself. This reduces stress for your client and allows them to focus on their new chapter, with the assurance that their treasured items are finding new appreciative homes. It’s a win-win for everyone involved.
