Approaching an Estate Sale

[Michael Rious]

I was 'driving for dollars' today and noticed an estate sale in my neighborhood and there was no realtors sign in the yard, so I started thinking. How would I approach the estate to ask if the property was for sale? If the property owner is deceased, is the probate PR in attendance at an estate sale? Is this even a good idea?

Then I started thinking that the reason for an estate sale before selling the house is so you don't have to try to figure out what to do with the things in the house.

Has anyone ever approached an estate sale and inquired about the property itself? Enlighten me if you have please as I am thinking this may be another strategy to use when 'driving for dollars'.
