Short answer: Choose a buyer who is licensed where licensing is required, can give you a written quote, weighs the material in front of you or provides a docket, pays by a traceable method and does not pressure you to decide immediately, and compare at least two quotes, because families dealing with a loss are sometimes targeted by buyers who underpay or pressure them.

Ask for the buyer’s business details and any licence, and take a moment to confirm them.
Get it in writing
A written quote and a weighing docket keep the price honest and give the estate a record.
Beware of pressure
A buyer who rushes you or offers cash only is a reason to look elsewhere, and a second opinion is easy to get.
