Choosing a tool
Most estate sale companies end up with a listing site, a card reader and a Sunday night spreadsheet, so the real question is which piece each one is honestly doing.
Nobody shops for estate sale software the way they shop for a box truck. You bought a card reader because the first sale needed one, you started posting to a listing site because that is where the Friday morning crowd looks, and you built a spreadsheet because a daughter in another state wanted to know what her mother's dining set brought. Three years later that stack is the business, and it holds up right until a probate attorney asks for an itemized statement.
These pages set EstateTagSale next to the tools most often already in use on a household job. None of it is a scorecard. It is a fit question: what shape of work each product assumes, and whether your weekends actually look like that. If you run one small sale a quarter with a helper and a clipboard, the honest answer may be that you do not need a catalog and settlement system yet.
EstateTagSale vs Square
Square is a general purpose point of sale for businesses selling the same catalog week after week, and EstateTagSale is built for one household priced, sold down and settled inside about eight days.
EstateTagSale vs EstateSales.NET
EstateSales.NET is where local buyers find your sale, and EstateTagSale is where the house gets tagged, sold down and settled with the family.
EstateTagSale vs HiBid
HiBid suits operators moving households into timed online bidding, and EstateTagSale suits companies who still price the house by hand and open the front door on Friday.
Free tools
Two quick tools for the numbers that decide a job, one about what the sale pays you and one about whether you can price the house before preview night.
Working document
One page that carries a household job from the intake walk-through to the settlement check, in the order the work actually happens.
A table of rows can only take the choice so far, because the fit depends on whether your weekends look like the ones described on these pages. In a short demo we put one of your finished households through the catalog, the markdown ladder and the settlement statement so you can judge it against what that job actually cost you. Pick the one that went sideways rather than the tidy condo.
