I still like stopping by to see what's new, even if I rarely end up buying anything.

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

I cannot praise her kindness, patience and constant professionalism during this stressful transition. She sold our family car, jewelry, family heirlooms, furniture, antiques and many house hold items. She was available for moving items and her organization was impeccable. She was available from start to finish. Hiring Shahla was a true blessing. I recommend her 100%. She is wonderful. Do yourself a favor if you are considering an estate sale, car sale or any general home sale and talk to Shahla. You will be thrilled you did!

My husband and I were hesitant to have someone else sell our house goods, however Shahla proved to be the best person we could have chosen to get the job done. Shahla strategically created a plan that effectively allowed us to earn more than we had anticipated. At this time, we were in the process of downsizing into a smaller home which left us with a bunch of furniture we did not need. Fortunately, we found the best professional to help us sell all the large items that we would no longer need such as art paintings, living room set, bedroom set, dinning set and much more. Furthermore, Shahla showed up at the door with her crew ready to work. I have to say that through the whole process, she went beyond her call of duty to help us during a difficult process. Having an expert by our side made moving a much easier transition, so do yourself a favor, call Shahla!!! She knows what she is doing!

She is prompt with email and communication and very knowledgeable. She answers your questions with clarity and thoroughness. For background, I cold emailed Joy in search of help to sell a family painting. She was very quick to respond, helped answer my questions, and found an avenue for selling the piece. As an individual seeking a professional art appraiser, I was impressed by her attention to detail and personalized client service. She made sure to understand my needs in this sale and advocated for my desires in the sale. I absolutely recommend the services of Aitchison Fine Art Advisory.

I'm so glad we just happened to park in the large parking lot next to this store. It was a delight. The store is much larger than it appears from the outside. Mainly because there's a whole second half you might not realize is there until you come in. The selection here is wonderful and the lay out newer issues in a very easy to browse way. The back issues are in your traditional long box that you need to flip through, but they're all labeled in a way that makes it easy to narrow down your search. While they did not have the specific issue I was looking for, they happily went online and found an online retailer that had it for a reasonable price. That's great customer service that no other store has ever shown me (including my own local comic book shop where I've been a regular for 10+ years). Even when I told them they didn't have to do that they insisted and had a site for me within a minute or two. I really appreciated that. The two workers were so friendly and helpful. When I mentioned I was from Los Angeles they asked where my local store was & immediately knew it and had nice things to say about the owner. You could tell they really loved what they did and the comic book community as a whole. While I don't know how often I will be in the area, if I am ever even remotely close I will absolutely come by again. This is one of the best shopping experiences I've has at a CBS outside of my area.

Another ongoing issue was the elevators frequently being out of service. For customers moving or accessing belongings regularly, this can make a difficult task even more frustrating. I understand businesses have the right to adjust rates, but between the significant increase and recurring elevator issues, my experience was disappointing. Future customers should be aware that rates may increase substantially over time and access may be impacted when elevators are unavailable.
