NESA hosting virtual Estate Sales Success Summit

NEW YORK – The National Estate Sales Association (NESA) has announced its inaugural, Estate Sale Success Summit, a free virtual summit Sept. 19-30.

This online event combines exclusive business education, interviews, and pathways to success. The event is catered to estate sale businesses owners, managers, and anyone associated with the secondary market for personal property or tangible goods. The summit features some of the top experts in the field of resale, fine art, luxury goods, collectibles, and consumer marketing.

“The NESA Estate Sale Success Summit is designed to educate both new and existing estate sale

owners by keeping them up-to-speed with advances in customer services,” said Martin Codina, Chairman of NESA. “This is the event that provides exclusive information that brings the estate sale trade together like never before.”

The NESA Estate Sale Success Summit is comprised of 30-minute interviews. Experts in the areas of fine art, estate jewelry, antiques and collectibles, insurance, and legal considerations regarding contracting will be featured. People can access the interviews and information anytime online.

The summit concept was developed by 10 leading estate sale firms across the United States. NESA identified the unmet need for mentorship and education and by partnering with complementary businesses and experts; the Estate Sale Success Summit will enable business owners to give customers the latest advancement in services.

This type of collaboration will aid the 5,000+ U.S. estate businesses to be better stewards for customers and savvy to headwinds of legislation and competition. “The NESA Virtual Summit is our first major foot forward,” Codina said.
