This was very much appreciated as it is emotional and overwhelming to liquidate a loved ones belongings. I was very pleased with the online auction results as almost everything was sold. Items were quickly picked up within a few days of the close of the auction. Patty and Ed are the best! They were professional and highly organized. I would not hesitate to recommend Clark's Auction Company!

Horrible, deceptive scammers. They gave a 1 day turnaround to arrange shipping for winning bids,…read moreand their "recommended shippers" quoted an extortionate $400-1400 to ship 1-2 boxes of clothing. Though I reached out to try and come to a resolution, the auction house refused to help or accommodate at all, leaving me no reasonable way to actually get my items. Updating my review after finally getting notice my items have been shipped: What should have been a straightforward transaction turned into a 3-week ordeal just to get my purchases shipped. Despite the auction house insisting that my items would require multiple large boxes (and implying extremely high shipping costs), an independent shipper was ultimately able to pack everything into a single 20" box. This directly contradicts the information I was given and raises serious concerns about the accuracy, or intent, of their "recommended shippers" and guidance. Additionally, the lack of support throughout the process was unacceptable. When I reached out for help navigating shipping, I was met with refusal, dismissal, and eventually blocked from communication altogether. I am a frequent auction buyer and have never had such an issue before. Being blocked instead of assisted when trying to resolve a legitimate issue reflects extremely poor customer service, not a difficult customer. I was aware of the timeline for shipping and contacted all of the recommended shippers in advance to get quotes, but did not get responses until after the auction. What I was not aware of was that your recommended shipping process would involve quotes that were wildly inflated and inconsistent with reality. My clothing business processes hundreds of packages per week, so I'm extremely familiar with what things should cost to ship. This was not a matter of "circumstances within my control", it was a matter of inaccurate information, lack of transparency, and refusal to help once the sale was complete. Bidders beware, and sellers should take their business elsewhere.

Very bizarre experience. After reading the reviews for this company, I've noticed some similarities…read morebetween my experience and others. On estatesales.org they go by Estate Auctioneers, not Gilroy City Auction. I met Richie and he's...intense. I went to a liquidation of theirs in San Jose a few days ago. I was there for over an hour before met the guy in charge. He would only accept cash, didn't accept any other form of payment, and tried to overcharge me for some books. He wanted about 80$ for some secondhand weathered mass printed books. was surprised because the website said it was an 'emergency liquidation' and "everything leftover will go to the dump". Their website also said "FREE past noon', which is not uncommon in these types of situations. I've been to enough estate sales to know it's pretty shady to say things are free then charge ridiculous prices when people show up. left the books and drove away without buying. When called their number to explain to somebody that this is false advertising, Richie told me could just have them for free. Suddenly they're not worth that 80 anymore? I came all the way back and took them, but I don't think I'll be coming to any more auctions from this company. I also feel it's unprofessional to have movers boxing things up around the house as people are shopping. Lots that had been sold weren't marked, and I wasted a fair amount of time looking through things that weren't for sale. No signs, no AC, no name tags so customers can ask who to get prices from. Really shady, I won't be going their sales again.

He showed up at the appointed time and later made us a reasonable offer. He and his assistant returned the next day to pay us, pack everything up and take it away.

Rob clearly is very experienced and knows how to do this correctly, and he and Dominique couldn't have been more professional, helpful and pleasant throughout. It was a completely positive experience. I wouldn't hesitate to use Rob's services again and would/will enthusiastically recommend him to anyone.

By way of background. this was my first exposure to the foreclosure process, and as such, I spoke…read moreto several companies in the San Jose area. I feel very fortunate made the correct decision to work with the Foreclosure Company in Santa Cruz. Little did I know but this company has over 38 years experience in the foreclosure business in San Jose area since 1980, before moving to Santa Cruz, and this experience was on display, at every step in the process. With the advent of the internet and communications, I never found the being located in Santa Cruz was a problem. I worked closely with Christina Leigh, and if I was, to sum up, my experience in a few words it would be knowledgeable, professional, responsive and supportive. Again this was my first exposure to foreclosures, and Christina found the time to explain the process, terms, options etc., in a clear and concise manner when needed. Should I have a similar need in the future, I would not hesitate to reach out to Christina, and the Foreclosure Company in Santa Cruz. JJM
