Fort Myers, FL – Shopping Local Estate Sales for Deals | Ask Our Antique Dealer

An estate sale is defined as a sale or auction event held to liquidate all of the belongings of an individual, a family, or an estate. The goal is usually to sell off everything in the house, so they typically have a wide variety of items, at prices lower than retail. An estate sale may occur due to downsizing, retirement, a relative passing, a move, legal settlement, or as a provision in a will. Given the average age of our population here in Southwest Florida, and the fact that many retirees are living down here in Fort Myers and surrounding communities, while their family is living somewhere else in the country, Judy’s Estate Jewelry and Antiques in Lee County is often called upon to help families liquidate their relative’s estate, without the hassle of them having to come to Florida. Judy’s Estate Jewelry and Antiques has run estate sales for many different types of estates from modest 3 bedroom homes to multimillion-dollar mansions. 

What can you find in a local estate sale? The sky’s the limit. A local estate sale could be something as simple as liquidating clothing and collections, but a typical one applies to all of the contents of a single house or the possessions of one individual—everything from the boxes in the attic to the fine china in the cupboard … it’s all up for grabs. 

Common finds at estate sales include the following:

• Jewelry
• Furniture
• Tools
• Clothing
• Home décor
• China 
• Antiques
• Vintage collectibles
• Historical memorabilia
