Why Do People Have Estate Sales? The "Four D's" of the Industry.
Due to the fact that the "Four D's" (Death, Divorce, Downsizing, and Debt) are what drive the industry, an estate sale is often a turning point for the person who elects to have one. This may be the first, and only, time that they will be in an estate sale situation. A professional estate sale organizer should be able to offer sensitivity and confidentiality on behalf of the client.
Historically, the most common reason to liquidate a home has been the death of a loved one. One would find "estate sales" or "personal property sales" advertised in the local paper by family heirs, the estate executor, administrator, or other professional who would conduct the sale onsite.

Estate sales held for reasons other than the passing of a loved one are considered "living estates". Living estate sales help to liquidate property due to a life change like divorce, moving, downsizing, or bankruptcy.
Today, the majority of estate sales are managed by professional companies who take care of the sale and send the seller financial payment after the sale is complete.
