I have done business with Kyle and Kari of Arroyo Estate Sales for nearly five years, from buyouts to full estate sales. I also began attending many of the sales they run because they are always well marketed and thoughtfully executed. Both Kyle and Kari are incredibly knowledgeable, each bringing their own areas of expertise. Together, they have a deep understanding of a wide range of items and are exceptionally well suited to maximize the value of an estate. They also operate with a high level of integrity and run a very tight ship, which I have always appreciated. In all the business we have done together over the years, I have only had positive experiences and would absolutely recommend them. They consistently go above and beyond for their clients, which is something you do not see often. read more

My New Year's mantra has always been "choose the course of least resistance". I don't always succeed with that choice but I have absolutely with hiring Arroyo Estate Sales to liquidate massive amounts of inventory I no longer needed. They have done - to date - five sales for me and have done a stellar job. I am really happy with the end result and they paid me promptly. They are well-versed re: value in so many areas and research items to maximize the selling price, did unbelievably effective social media posts to promote the sales and are hands down - really good at what they do! Can you tell I was happy with my experience? read more

Professional, compassionate, and most importantly - fair. I have had several meetings with Kari and Kyle, and each one was conducted without my feeling rushed or pressured. Both took their time to inspect and review what I offered to them, and I always felt respected during these interactions. I highly recommend Kari and Kyle for their integrity, knowledge, and genuine passion for what they do. read more

I have been to a few of their estate sales and I always had a positive experience. The owners and their employees are very professional and kind, their sales are extremely organized and they are very fair. Would definitely recommend. Thank you for making estate sale shopping a positive experience read more

I've been going around the area recently to sell off some of the large estate that I have recently acquired and I would like to inform everybody that I had a very seamless, professional and kind business transaction with Arroyo Estate Sales. Their prices are very competitive compared to some other estate sellers I've spoken and met with and Kyle and Kari explained everything to expect thoroughly with their procedures. I always appreciate expertise when it comes to more niche and uncommon business transactions (like selling a large estate that you inherited). In this economic climate it is becoming harder and harder to find small businesses that are fair and stand out. A big thank you again for helping me & my family out with your smooth business dealings! read more

Arroyo Estate Sales & Liquidations - An early 1900's painting that they helped me sell. - Estate Liquidation Near Me

See all

Amazing! I was going on Yelp to write a glowing review of this company and I read another review and I'm stunned. I think perhaps she may have the estate sale that she went to confused with another company. I had stopped going to estate sales because there always seems to be a system to accessing "the good stuff" and between waiting in line and the frustration of seeing "the fish that got away"- I just didn't want to do it anymore. Well... I started going again because I had really good and satisfying experiences at the estate sales Arroyo puts on. It's well organized with super fair prices. Not sure why I would be encouraging competition with this review except for the fact that I want them to flourish and continue having sales. The few times that I've gone there I have been amazed at the level of professionalism, the organization, and the pleasant energy in meeting from all the workers - even though I can tell they're under a tremendous amount of stress. Their check out was OK except once when there was a lot of people- so that was understandable. My only comment to perhaps suggest improvement would be if they can have a few more people working so that there's no waiting in the checkout. I noticed that they do their research so the pricing is fair to the seller and to the buyer. If I ever decide to scale down and lighten my load- I would use their services to help me achieve that. I'm not quite there yet!! LOL. . read more

The team at Arroyo are the absolute best. They are responsive, reliable and so easy to work with. If I ever have to do an estate sale again they will be my very first call. read more

As I walked up to the sale I immediately noticed how professional it appeared. The items were organized and some had price tags. Both Kari and Kyle were friendly, helpful, and personable. I found the prices fair and I was impressed that they shared a bit of the former owner's life experience because it makes me appreciate and treasure what I purchased even more. read more

Sadly, I would not at all recommend working with Kyle and Kari for your personal estate sales and or liquidation needs. Without going into a lot of the gory details, I will simply say it was VERY unpleasant working with them and rather than helping during a very difficult and emotional task of clearing our a family home, they made it worse. We had a lot going on at the time. My mother had passed away last June and my father passed away right when we started working with them and all they cared about was singing the paperwork and setting a specific time-frame and date to start. Things were really hard for my brother and I and our schedule changed by a few days, but it might as well have been the end of the world to them. They were extremely rude, insensitive, very difficult to work with, and I can honestly say they became totally angry about everything and then paranoid about all the items they were clearing out of the house. It was weird. We did a buy-out with them and it was a big mistake. They were very sneaky about about their work and in the end, we realized we essentially got ripped off. At one point, while looking at a pile of stuff they had just gone through I saw a tiny little old silver lipstick holder of my mom's and I wanted to keep it, but they actually made me buy it from them! Unreal. After sharing our experience with several people in the local area real estate business, we discovered their reputation was not so good. Apparently they failed to pay someone recently on a previous estate job, and rumor has it they changed their business name awhile back, but I can't verify any of that. In any case, I have text messages from them that are so upsetting, hostile, and personally threatening that I could use them as evidence for an abuse charge. I have several witnesses that can vouch for what I have said here. Honestly, I can only hope nobody gets treated like we did, and that they eventually put themselves out of business. read more

Kari Smith and Kyle Deise of Arroyo Estate Sales & Liquidations are fantastic people to work with. My husband and I hired them to handle our estate sale that consisted of furniture, clothes, kitchen items, collectibles etc. The sale was to take place in our basement, which with their talents they turned into a "store" with everything on display laid out nicely and price tagged. They meticulously went through all the collectibles and categorized them and did extensive research to appraise the value. They brought in expert appraisers and reached out to dealers and auction houses to be sure items would be sold through the best venue to bring us the maximum value. As our sale occurred in the heat of August and during Covid, only a limited number of buyers could enter the basement at a time. Kari and Kyle managed this process responsibly for the safety of everyone involved. The sale was extremely successful even under these circumstances. We could not be happier with the results of the sale and the professionalism that Kari and Kyle bring to their work. Highly recommend them! read more

Arroyo Estate Sales & Liquidations is an exceptional organization. Their professionalism, knowledge, and expertise puts them at the top of the list in my book. These are the people you want when dealing with estate sales or liquidations, true experts in their field. Kyle & Kari are awesome! read more

I have shopped at several of Arroyo's Estate Sales and have found them to be well organized, fairly priced and enjoyable to attend. I love the treasures I have found - art, furniture, and household items. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them! read more

Disrespectful, hostile, and rude I'm a long time resident of San Marino and visited an estate sale with my elderly mom on a nice Sun afternoon. My mom was approached for wearing a backpack. She had on a thin drawstring nylon backpack, she's petite and in her 70s. My mom invited the girl to look in her bag. She refused and repeated their rule about no bags. Mom was tired anyway so she decided to just leave and wait in the car. I then proceed to get in the back of the line to pay... She came after me to say, and I quote, "IF I SEE THAT WOMAN IN THERE AGAIN, I WILL THROW BOTH OF YOU OUT" I am in awe. I'm a grown woman scolded like I'm a thief in my own neighborhood at an estate sale which mainly had used household items and worn clothes. Sigh... They also didn't care about public health. She was screaming at me without a mask. The checkout line was long. I wanted to get some groceries and come back to pay for my items. That was also not allowed. I was told "YOU CANNOT LEAVE" by another unmasked woman. As I type, I just realized me and my mom were told both we could not leave and we were going to get thrown out by this group of people. Lol Needless to say, to save myself from further abuse, I emptied my reusable bag full of items I shouldn't be buying in the first place and mentally noted, never return to another estate sale by this group arroyo. read more

Arroyo Estates have been such a wonderful help in the breaking down of my father in laws home. They walked me through all the steps and were so patient with the whole family.

I needed help clearing out a home and was referred to Arroyo Estate Sales by a friend. I was very cautious at first. Honestly, I don't know what I would have done without them. They are honest, meticulous, and hard working. Their sense of organization is beyond wonderful and they are fabulous people to talk to and deal with, not to mention that they know their stuff! I recommend them without any reservation to anyone needing estate sale services. Kyle and Kari are awesome!! read more

Arroyo Estate Sales is the best. I've shopped at many of their sales and am always impressed at the organization of the merchandise and the fair prices. Kari and Kyle and their staff are friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I recently contacted them for help with some items inherited by a family member, and they bought most of the items. They are transparent about pricing, telling me the estimated worth and their purchase price. I trust them to give me the best deal whether I'm buying or selling. read more

I have been attending this husband & wife duo's estate sales for years. They are wonderful people who work hard to make sure that their sales are ran diligently and fairly. I've shopped at my share of horrible estate sale companies who just don't have it together and make the shopping experience exhausting- NOT this company. Lines can get long sometimes but I don't mind waiting as long as I can see they are doing everything they can to expedite the process for everyone. Prices are always fair and reasonable. Kari, Kyle, & their team are always professional and kind. I am always looking out for their sales. read more

I've been a customer and have done business with Kyle and Kari of Arroyo Estate Sales for just a short of a decade. They know the vintage sales business in many forms. I work in design, I worked in auction in the past and I'm an Architect. I always take their advice to come out to their super busy sales to see what is available. I trust their advice on the market as well as always being interested to hear them talk about what they are passionate about due to their deep knowledge. They are honest, entertaining, and professional. I just went to their sale last weekend and purchased some new treasures. I highly recommend working with them on either side of a transaction. read more

I highly recommend their services. They will not disappoint and communicate fairly and honestly. I will use them again in the future without hesitation.

The estate sale that I attended that was handled by Arroyo was safe, organized, and the people were friendly and efficient. There was a limit to those inside and masks were worn. Safety was important to them. The owners of the property spoke highly of Arroyo Estates Sales. I hope more people use them in the future so I can attend more of their sales. read more

Kari and Kyle are AMAZING! This was my first time having an estate sale on behalf of a passed family member.

They were comforting, trusting, professional and they went above and beyond to make the process smooth. I would highly recommend their services to anyone during a difficult time, and also to be at ease knowing they will get the job done effectively and in a timely manner. Many thanks to them both for a job WELL done!! read more

LOOK NO FURTHER FOR YOUR ESTATE AND LIQUIDATION NEEDS. YOU HAVE FOUND THE VERY BEST OF THE BEST RIGHT HERE!! The team at Arroyo Estate Sales and Liquidations are the most attentive, ethical, dedicated, and sensitive people imaginable. One of my parents had just passed away, and I had to move all personal possessions​ to two storage facilities. Due to the valuable nature​ of the items, I selected a fantastic facility by the name of CubeSmart, which was temperature-controlled​, to store everything in. (See my review on them) Living in another state and with COVID​ still a real concern, I needed to move forward with the ​liquidation of the items in storage​ and wanted to avoid another month of rental fees for two of their largest units. I was unable to travel back to Los Angeles to move this process forward in person. I contacted Arroyo Estate Sales never having met anyone from the Arroyo team in person. All arrangements were made over the phone, and from the first phone call,​ I knew that I could just relax​ and without reservation place my ​confidence in them to help me at a very difficult time. They graciously made all the necessary arrangements to move everything well before my deadline. Since I was doing this from a distance, Arroyo stayed in touch with me daily until they were able to complete the move to their facility and photographed the unit for me once all was moved to show the condition pristine condition they left it in. In the weeks after the move, various small items that they realized would have sentimental value to me were located, and they so graciously sent these to me so that I could have these treasures. (I insisted on paying for the cost of sending.) I never would have known these things had been found, but the tenderness and respect with which all the items were ​examined, pockets checked... lead the Arroyo team to set these aside despite the sea of things that had moved and were processing, and send these to me. Every single thing that Arroyo Estate Sales promised me was kept. Their committment to get all the items moved within my timeline was honored with time to spare, and executed with great sensitivity to my feelings and with great respect for the person who had loved all these things during their lifetime. ​ It is with great pride and delight that I compose this review for Arroyo Estate Sales and Liquidations as in a world of excuses, falling short of expectations, under-delivering​, and mediocre performance, this business demonstrates its worthiness of trust and confidence. The Arroyo team has​ proven that the high standards they hold themselves to, the dedication to offer the very best support in customer care, and their personal integrity in being impeccable​ with their word, and honesty, is who they are no matter how large or small the job. Arroyo Estate Sales and Liquidators are an exceptional company, made up of dedicated professionals who will really take care of you and make you understand by their consistent​ performance that you actually matter to them. You are in for a real treat working with them. Let them know how much you appreciate their immaculate care and dedication. The world needs more of these exceptional, outstanding businesses and the fine people who make up these businesses. I wholeheartedly​ recommend Arroyo Estate Sales and Liquidators to anyone and everyone who is looking for a company of this kind that they can trust. The emotional devastation​ that we go through after loved ones pass away​ and the often monumental task of knowing how to ethically ensure their​ possessions​are treated​ with​ regard and moved forward to others who can use them is eased expedintially with professionals who have the resources to know how best to manage this. I cannot thank you enough, Arroyo Estate Sales and Liquidators. I'll always remember the countless kindnesses and great consideration you showed me at every opportunity. PERFECTION!!! BRAVA!!!!!!! read more
