National Estate Sale Conference: Nashville Adventure

Sarah and I had the opportunity to attend the National Estate Sale Conference last week in Nashville.  It was an incredible week of education, networking, and exploring!  The conference was organized by estatesales.net, an estate sale marketing app, and they knocked it out of the park.  The location, speakers, education, and professional partners were stellar! The conference was held at The Loews Vanderbilt, almost all of the ... Keep Reading >>
