Estate Buyouts
The task of organizing personal property to maximize its value can seem overwhelming and time consuming. A buyout occurs when a dealer purchases everything in an estate for a wholesale price. If the personal property is located in a storage facility, co-op, condominium or apartment house where estate sales are not permitted, a buyout is a viable option. A buyout should be considered when immediate cash is needed or when the value of the items to be sold is determined to be so marginal that taking the time required to pursue maximizing its value with other options is not cost effective. Dominion Estate Sales Comprehensive Buyout Service will purchase the personal property which needs to be liquidated and leave the premises broom clean.
