Hopefully you don't need their services, but everyone will eventually have to deal with their…read moreparents passing away. Setting the grief aside for a moment, you most likely will have to deal with a house full of stuff. If you are like me and don't live in South Florida, this is a major problem. Going through all of the stuff can take over your life. I wasn't sure where to turn, but I found Bonnie and Melissa from B & F Estate Sales online. After reading some of the reviews on their website, I decided to have them come in and help out. It was a great decision. I liked that they have been in business a long time and aren't just some fly by night company. Bonnie has been doing estate sales for over 30 years. If they aren't run right, from what I've read an estate sale can be a nightmare. I decided to fly into South Florida to "supervise" the sale. Unless there were any major problems, my plan was to totally stay out of their way. I would think that some companies wouldn't want the owner there while the sale was going on, but Bonnie and Melissa made me feel welcome to be involved in the process and I found their business interesting. Prior to me coming into town, Bonnie and Melissa had gone through the house and started tagging items for sale. Bonnie is also a realtor, so I was very comfortable with her letting herself in and out during the week. I made a previous weekend trip to take some special things that I wanted to keep. I strongly recommend doing that first, so you know what is in the house. Plus it makes their job a lot easier if you can tell them - EVERYTHING there is for sale. That said, they did set aside some personal items, that they thought I would want, that I hadn't shipped yet. They aren't going to just sell something without checking with you first. To "enhance" the sale, they brought in a few of their other client's merchandise. My mother wasn't a big collector of jewelry or figurines. Those things bring in customers, so it was a good idea. Each person's stuff was color coded with a sticker, so none of the money got confused. I quickly learned that people will buy anything. Cans of unused food - Sold. An electric mixer from 1957 - sold. Corn Cob holders - sold. Clothes, shoes, old board games, packs of playing cards, eye glasses, bulky costume jewelry, Dixieland Jazz records, coffee tables, piano sheet music, old telephones, towels, old garden tools, unused batteries, paintings off the wall, an old sewing machine and, and, and... Now did I get rich selling all these things? No. Although it was cash in my pocket. For me it was about emptying out a house full of stuff, without it taking months and breaking my back doing it. My mother hated waste, so it also gave me some pleasure knowing that someone else was going to actually use these things. After the two day sale Bonnie and Melissa brought another company in that was responsible for the rest of the clean out of unsold things. Basically they see what's left for them to sell or donate to charity, then weigh that against the amount of labor it will take to move everything and clean the house. They write you a check for x amount and do the rest of the hard work. At the end you have a completely empty and clean house, ready for someone else to move into. After watching Bonnie and Melissa work during the weekend, I can highly recommend them. I would trust them again to do it without me being there for sure. I'm guessing most of their clients aren't there. I could tell they have lots of loyal customers who are familiar with their sales. During the sale there was only one person who was a problem. They came through the house and wanted to haggle over every little dime and started to raise their voice about it . Bonnie and Melissa put their foot down politely but firmly and asked them to purchase the items at the fair price or leave. After all this is someone's home, it's not some 3rd world country flea market. These things were important to someone who has passed away, so Bonnie and Melissa insisted that everyone be respectful. They were also constantly keeping things neat and reorganizing the items during the sale. I met lots of nice people during the sale that seemed to really enjoy talking about some of the items in my mom's home. To get this kind of clientele, Bonnie and Melissa spend time taking photos of your items and post it on their website as well as other estate sale websites. In their line of business it's all about having contacts and promoting the sale correctly. That's the difference between doing your own garage sale and having a professional company come in. B & F Estate Sales was a great choice for me. I'm sure they will be for you too.

Tara at Archangel Estate Sales really provided a great service with a personal touch during a very…read moredifficult time. My mother had a health scare and finally decided to move in with me in another state. We interviewed 3 companies and we both immediately knew Archangel Estate Sales was going to be our best bet. During the interview she was the perfect blend of professional, personal, and understanding to our specific situation. She was honest about what we could expect to be of interest to buyers and things of specific value. During the process she regularly communicated at milestones of the project and did not hesitate to ask questions if she was not certain how we would want her to handle things. My mom had a lot of knick knacks and not a lot of valuable furniture or antiques. The sale still managed to earn enough to cover the emptying and clean out of her place without us needing to make a trip back there. Afterward, she provided the receipt book from the sale and a check for the balance that was left over. Tara and her crew are lovely hard working people with integrity. I hope I am never in need of these services again, but if I did they would be my first call.

I think this is the first review I've written in 10 years. First of all, I want to thank Tori for…read moreher professionalism, prompt responses, and for always answering our questions while helping our family through a difficult time. When my father-in-law passed away, we needed to sell the contents of the house, clean it out, and prepare it for sale. Tori guided us through the entire process and gave us great advice, but most importantly, she showed incredible patience and genuine humanity while dealing with different members of our family. We truly appreciated her support during such a difficult time, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and professional. Michelle Gilbert

FL, and have no local contacts, we found Tori thru the internet having searched for an honest individual w/ a good reputation who would do both the estate sale and cleanout. Tori was the person we hired after a meeting via Zoom. We also met her IRL when we went to FL prior to the actual sale. Tori was equipped to not only do the sale, she also would dispose of the post-sale remaining items via consignment, donation, auction and landfill as appropriate. Tori's marketing, actual 2-day sale and final dispostioning were done without any issues at all. Following the estate sale we received a lengthy receipt which accounted for everything. And, copies of receipts for donations are on the way to us too. Items on consignment will be sold over a period of time. Tori's fee is in line with other companies doing this work. I can't say enough about the professionalism and ease of communication with Tori who owns Cubed Consign & Cleanout. She and her team did a wonderful job. And - for those of us who live far away and maybe have strong emotional attachments to things to be sold - I don't think you can find a better way to handle this process. Thank you Tori and the C3 team.

This company is devious and in my mind criminal! I intend…read moreto fully prosecute them. Do NOT use them. I had an auction back in July and here we are 2 months later & they have NOT yet paid me! Understand that these guys collect the money the day of the auction. They sold my valuables including, Lalique, silver & fine jewelry. The money they made on my auction was significant. Whenever I follow up with them, I try contacting their various numbers and find that that either their phones have been disconnected or are not accepting messages. One main line accepts messages however not once has anybody ever called me back. They Have recently moved to a new undisclosed area and the only way to contact them is through email. Scott Grasso the president emailed me once that I will get paid but that has not yet happened and he nor his wife who is onsite at the auction collecting the money will speak with me. The sales representative, Eric Sanudo who I trusted and seemed professional disconnected his cell phone and there's no way to contact them. When you go on to their website you can see that they are still conducting auctions. These poor people have no idea that their not going to get paid. When you sell someone's personal possessions and then keep all the money that's called STEALING!!!!! Warning, stay away from J. Sugarman!

Before I found Elizabeth, a couple of the movers/packers that I used, hired men with prison tattoos and records to match. My only regret is that I did not find Elizabeth sooner because I really suffered going through everything without her, although the comparison really makes me appreciate her that much more. Call her as soon as you know need to move or even if you just want to do a Spring cleaning to clear out your extra stuff. Elizabeth and her team helped me expertly pack up, sort out, clear out and sell over 45 years of possessions from a huge family with an over 10,000 square foot home. She uses selling platforms and specialist vendors for collections such as coins and stamps. It is very burdensome to use charities such as Salvation Army and Vietnam Veterans as they don't box up and were capricious about accepting my donations, plus it is all at your own time and expense. With Elizabeth, I am getting paid for my things. Charities will not pay you or pack up your things. With Elizabeth, everything was, "no problem." She is honest and has been sending me payments as my items sell. It is pleasant and feels safe to have her working in your home. I give her my highest recommendation and will be using her services to scale down even more and to help me unpack and organize in my new and much smaller home. I do not believe in throwing out perfectly useable items and making unnecessary contributions to land fills. Save the environment, promote reuse, and get paid for your stuff. Plus, packing is time consuming and physically debilitating, Elizabeth and her team were just wonderful. I am grateful to have found her.

A little later, I overheard an employee telling another customer that the same item was going to be sold to them instead. When I questioned it, I was told that the other customer had made an appointment the day before, even though I also had an appointment and had already claimed the item in person. That made no sense and felt extremely dishonest and unprofessional. If items are not actually available to the first customer who finds and holds them, that should be clearly communicated upfront. The way this was handled was unfair, poorly managed, and left a very bad impression. I will not be attending this company's sales again.
