What is an Estate Liquidator?

An estate liquidator is someone who professionally appraises, prices,and sells off an estate’s entire contents for the most money possible. While there are currently no formal or governmental regulations of the estate liquidation industry, professional organizations like the American Society of Estate Liquidators (ASEL) and the National Estate Sale Association (NESA) provide industry standards and can serve as accreditation boards for members. If someone wants to hire an estate liquidator, checking to see if they belong to NESA or ASEL is one way to see if they’re vetted. Another way is to get references from past clients, or even from shoppers or look for online reviews.
