He was very helpful with advice, quite knowledgeable, and ethical. He not only offered us a partial buyout, but he showed us how to check the prices he was offering and even encouraged us to go with eBay for even more money, if we had the time, on a couple of pieces -- which he showed us were worth a lot more than we thought. So honest! Dennis has deep knowledge of bikes, fountain pens and other collectibles (which we happened also to collect), and he was realistic and fair in his appraisal of the best way to move our overflowing possessions 'down the road.' We will follow his advice on selling our goods through some easy channels and an estate sale company, and then, when it's less of a mountain of deferred decisions, use Dennis for the final clearout. What a great guy. Highly recommended!

This review is long overdue, but I honestly don't know how I would have navigated my brother's estate without them. ​Kim is incredible to work with. She brought so much compassion to a tough situation, but she is also a total professional who knows how to get things done. She helped organize a clear plan for everything, including the junk haul and moving logistics. We opted not to do an estate sale, but it is nice to know it's a service they offer. The efficiency and speed at which the team was able to get the house cleared out really helped so we could start renovations before selling it. They truly lighten the load when you need it most, and at a reasonable rate. I cannot recommend them enough!

Because the property was a floating home, holding an on-site estate sale was not possible, and with the pending sale we did not have time for a traditional liquidation process. We initially found an estate company that would have been ideal, but they ultimately determined that the job was beyond their scope. We then contacted Sorted Estates, and the experience was exceptional. Because we were working remotely, all coordination had to be done through photographs. We sent as many images as possible and explained that our goal was to have the floating home completely cleared. They provided an estimate based on that information and followed through exactly as promised. On the scheduled day, they arrived with two trucks and a five-person crew. By the end of the day, the home was entirely empty, with two full truckloads delivered to donation sites. Communication throughout the process was clear, responsive, and professional. Given the constraints and complexity of the situation, their performance was genuinely impressive.

Then I met Pete Banchieri from Alameda Estate Sales, and he completely changed my perspective. Pete took on one of the most challenging estate sales I've ever encountered. The home had been owned by the same family for more than 40 years, and it was filled with decades' worth of belongings. What impressed me most was Pete's incredible work ethic and attention to detail. He spent weeks carefully sorting valuables​, donations, ​selling certain things online, arranging for appropriate items to be auctioned, and researching historical documents and collectibles, organizing the contents, and thoughtfully preparing everything for the sale.​ Because I had the opportunity to visit the property several times throughout the process, I was able to see firsthand the amount of work, care, and professionalism Pete and his team brought to the job. I was genuinely blown away by the transformation and the level of effort they invested. Pete and his crew did an outstanding job from start to finish. They exceeded every expectation and completely changed my previous apprehension about the estate sale industry. I highly recommend Pete and Alameda Estate Sales, and I will absolutely be using them for all of my future estate sale needs.

I went to the estate sale on Glen Dr in San Leandro last week. It would have given them a five star but as I was checking out, I noticed someone at the tables on the opposite side of me, looking at two loppers. I mentioned that I didn't notice the loppers earlier to the cashier (who was super sweet). She turned around to look at the loppers, then asked her colleague, who was stationed at the jewelry, if the loppers were on hold for someone. Instead of hearing what she was saying, he thought it was appropriate to get angry at the customer who was looking at them. He was so angry that he must have forgotten how to be a human, because basically just yelled at the customer, saying "No!" and huffed as he furiously waved to where I was standing, indicating that the customer should be on the side where I was standing. Did he think the customer couldn't speak English? Is that why he stopped using his words and just waved his hands? From a customers perspective, this was wildly off putting. Even my partner and his mom and the lady who checked me out were shocked.

It is humanly impossible for 25 people in about 20 cars to arrive, sign in, and drive away in that time , especially when no one was visible outside the house. If that's truly possible, maybe I should be contacting Guinness World Records instead of leaving reviews. Very poor experience with this company today. I saw an estate sale posted online and, since I live in the neighborhood, decided to check it out. We arrived at 6:03 a.m.--just three minutes after the address was posted--yet there were already 25 people on the list. No one was around the house or double parked, which makes it obvious the owner shares the address with friends or frequent customers before it's posted. It's also clear the company caters to dealers, both through this practice and the low prices they give them. This is disappointing and unfair to the families who trust them to handle their loved ones' estates. Please be cautious--other companies will provide fairer prices and more transparency. I will not be returning to any future sales.
