When my mom passed several years ago, my sisters and I had no idea what to do with her house chock-full of "stuff". We had never heard of an estate sale and did not have the time to hold any type of sale ourselves. We believed the best solution for getting her house sale-ready was to simply put most of her items on the curb. I do not recommend this solution. While we did get rid of a lot of items, the scavengers left a mess that needed to be cleaned up daily.
After visiting estate sales for years and years, finding so many terrific treasures and meeting such interesting people, I decided I had to get in on this fascinating business of helping people. I'd so often heard that you should "do what you love" so I did; by launching Cardinal Estate Sales!
When you hire Cardinal Estate Sales, you hire someone who has "been there and done that". I prefer to meet my clients in person to review the property. We both need to understand what needs to be done before, during and after the estate sale as well as review the contract and terms.
During the months of May through September, I live in Ottertail County, Minnesota and manage Cardinal Estate Sales from my cabin. It's the best time of the year to have a sale as summer people return to their cabins and tourism kicks into high gear in the west central lakes country! If you're considering a sale, don't wait to reserve your spot; dates get snapped up quickly. I have a limited number of weekends available this summer to schedule your sale.
It'll be sunny (we hope)! Temp 212.
I serve the areas of Perham, Battle Lake, Ottertail, Henning, Clitherall, Parkers Prairie, Wadena and others in the west central lakes area.
Summer is a very busy time for scheduling an estate sale. The sooner you call with your questions, the sooner you will secure your spot on my calendar for the summer of 2023. #612.599.2225.
It's stressful for an entire family when a loved one has passed or is no longer able to enjoy the quality of life they deserve while living alone. It's even more difficult to accomplish a "do-it-yourself" sale when siblings or other decision-makers live out of the area.
Cardinal Estate Sales is here to guide you through the cumbersome process of handling the sale of the items. This removes some of the burden so you can tend to other important decisions
Generally, it will take at least three weeks from the time a contract is signed to the the completion of the sale. I cannot "hold" dates for potential sales without a signed contract. We also bring in tables to display the items, price the items and provide each buyer with a sales receipt. We have experienced associates to provide service throughout the set up and during the sale.
The only silly question is the one that was not asked. One phone call to Cardinal Sales is the first step to a successful sale. Remember, we're here to help.
