Why I Love Estate Sales!

People are always asking me, "How did I get started with Estate Sales?" My grandmother and mother always had an annual tag sale. I really enjoyed the seeing the people find good deals on things they wanted. It was much better than seeing unwanted items go into the trash! These memories extended into adulthood and I now own a company that holds over 100 sales a year, and is one of the most popular Estate and Tag Sale companies on Long Island and we service the entire tri-state area!

It has always been a dream of mine to own my own company, and Nationwide Estate Sales has made that possible. We are a family run business and we are a full estate sale and cleanout service. I hope you check back often to see what we are up to next!

A day at the George Inn

It was a beautiful Saturday in November, the sun was shining and I was getting ready to take a trip out east. My destination was the George Inn, a bed and breakfast in East Quogue. The reason for taking this little trip was not to stay at the inn, but to attend an estate sale being held there. It was being run by Nationwide Estate Sales a company that is becoming very familiar. I have attended many other sales held by this company which have always left me with a good feeling even when I don’t make any purchases. However, this was shaping up to be a new experience. I have never been to a sale that was being held at a bed and breakfast. I being somewhat interested in bed and breakfasts wanted to go just to see how it was laid out, and what the theme was. Well, the George Inn did not disappoint. It was a beautiful place, the furniture was all amazing. There was a lot of reproduction styles but that didn’t matter to me, I still liked it. Don’t get me wrong I love antiques and the inherent history that comes with them whether known or unknown. There were great examples here that would make almost anyone happy. I did not happen to buy anything on this occasion but had a great time anyway. I am always up for a good time, and judging by the crowd and the general atmosphere of the sale, just about everyone had one. I look forward to the next sale being held by Nationwide Estate Sales and am sure if I wasn’t already doing something that weekend I will be now.

OUR BIGGEST SALE SO FAR THIS YEAR

Sent in by one of our happy Customers

Well it’s Friday and I had the day off so I was going to do something but didn’t know exactly what that was going to be. I needed to run some errands but after that the day was open. It was a really nice day, so I wanted to be outside, I checked the internet to see if there was anything going on locally. There wasn’t so I decided to check a couple of my favs, one of which was a company that does estate and tag sales. I found out they had a sale starting at eleven in a town called Water Mill. I thought great, now where the heck is Watermill? Another few clicks and I had directions, Nationwide Estate Sales website is really very helpful. With directions in hand I was on my way. It took a little while to reach my destination, but when I arrived I had a good feeling. There were already a few people on line waiting to get in, this made me think there must be some good things inside. It was eleven and the crowd rushed in, I had been to a sale prior to this and looked for Marilyn or Jim to see if I could be directed in the right direction. I found Jim and asked him if they had any of the beer glasses or other items I collect he took me down in the basement. I could not believe how many items were in the basement, it looked like a store. Mostly everything was displayed on tables and the lighting was ok. I have been to some sales run by other companies and when I say if you don’t have a flashlight don’t bother I mean it. This sale was very professionally run and I found a few glasses that I bought to add to my collection. So aside from not knowing where Water Mill was I would say it was a good day. I will continue to go to Nationwide Estate Sales when my schedule permits me too.

OVER 100 SALES IN 2008

What a success, we conducted 111 sales in 2008. That’s right you heard correctly we helped over a hundred people in 2008 with our estate sale services. Well to us at Nationwide Estate sales that’s great and we are very proud of it. Being a small start-up business it was a big risk and we really had no idea how it would turn out. We had a plan and expectations but it is nice to see that we have a real chance. I guess it is partially because we are in personal service business. We have helped some people that lost a family member, others that were getting ready to retire and also people that were moving for a job or a bunch of other reasons. I really can’t get into them here, but if you would like to you can read some of the testimonials that we have received. They are posted at our website: www.estatesales123.com

We provide our customers with the information and expertise they need when it comes to selling their estate. Whatever the case may be we provide the customer with respect and professionalism. I think that is what makes the difference to our customers because of all of the sales we have done no one has complained about our methods. This to us is amazing and now we have a level of excellence to stick to. I know that you can’t please everyone and I am ready for that day. You can’t go very long without offending someone along the way. Up till now we have not and we plan to do our best never too. We have really had a chance to let all of this sink in but now I can say that I am truly proud to be part of this business and I hope we can double or triple the people we help this year. Who knows maybe we can help you? We provide a vast number of services from an estate tag sale to a full home clean out. Based out of Nassau county Long Island we currently provide our services to the entire Tri-State area.
