Thunderbird Estate Sales, through Bill Lujan's hard work, is an excellent company. After my…read morebrother-in-law passed away, Bill organized and held an estate sale for all the many amazing things my brother-in-law had collected during his life. Bill was very responsive when I texted or called with questions. The Estate sale went well, and Bill was prompt with paying us the balance due after his fees. Bill also organized an auction for the many guns my brother-in-law had collected. It went well, and again, Bill was prompt with payment. He also hooked us up with a gun store in Albuquerque that could arrange to mail 3 rifles my husband wanted from his brother's collection to a local gun store near us. I highly recommend Thunderbird Estate Sales if you need that sort of service! Thank you, Bill! Nancy M

My husband and I stumbled upon one of Frank's estate sales while driving home a little over a year…read moreago. It was the first estate sale we'd ever been to. Since then, we've signed up on their email list and have gone to almost every sale they've had. Frank and his team are very professional, friendly, helpful and honest. Everyone seems to enjoy what they do and are knowledgeable about what's in the house for sale. It is a very fun and lively atmosphere, which makes it even more enjoyable to go to. What I've noticed from an AHES sale, as opposed to the others we've now been to, is that they are respectful of the house and their owners too. That has not always been the case with other estate sale companies. My husband and I are now experienced buyers who don't mind digging a little to find unexpected or long lost treasures (to us). We'll continue to go to their sales, if not to find something old/new and interesting, but just to say hi to Frank and his team. What a great company with even better people!

I needed a company on short notice, and American was the only one available. Initially, I found…read morethem to be open and cordial, and felt they were reputable. That's the key word,"reputable". They were NOT, but I didn't find out until the sale was over. First, I was told they had a HUGE following on Facebook, but my friends and I could never find info on Facebook, or anywhere else on social media or on their website. I asked if signs had been posted around the neighborhood. "Oh, yes, we have lots of signs all around." Again, my neighbors drove all around the area, and found ONE sign. I was assured there would be an ad in the paper, but none had ever appeared. ALL THESE LIES BECAME EVIDENT because the turnout was extremely low, and the agent said he was so surprised because there were usually crowds of people at his sales. I must agree with the review of Melissa S., the woman, although pleasant when we first met, turned out to be rude and intimidating. HERE'S THE REAL PROBLEM - THE MONEY. At the end of the sale, I RECEIVED A CHECK AND A RECEIPT WHICH DID NOT LIST WHAT ITEMS WERE SOLD. Therefore, I had no idea what was sold and for what price. Any amount of items could have been sold and not recorded....how would anyone know? Considering the home was 3,500 sq.ft., and filled with many pricey items, including jewelry, the total sum we received was not at all consistent with the items sold, nor with the prices they listed on the various items . THE VERY LAST STRAW!! There was a long, black mink coat which belonged to someone from the frigid weather back East, worth upward of $5,000. We asked how he would price it, and he said he would leave the price open so he could negotiate with anyone interested. We told him not to sell it for less than $1,500, UNLESS HE CALLED US PRIOR TO SELLING IT so that we could discuss it. HE AGREED. HE THEN SOLD IT FOR $50 AND NEVER CALLED US PRIOR TO SELLING IT, as agreed. He claimed some little old lady came in at the end of the sale and she was freezing SO HE FELT SORRY FOR HER AND SOLD IT TO HER FOR $50!!!! Time does not allow me to list ALL the "questionable'' activities during that sale, but I would be more than willing to speak with anyone at American Estates who may feel these statements are false or inaccurate in any way. THEY ARE NOT.

From our very first interaction, our experience with their team, particularly with Kim, was nothing short of exceptional. Kim not only demonstrated an impressive degree of politeness and unwavering professionalism but also exhibited profound knowledge and clear expertise regarding the intricate estate sale process. We were especially grateful for Kim's remarkably swift turnaround in conducting the initial comprehensive walkthrough of the home, which efficiently determined the feasibility and scope of the sale. Moving forward with their services was seamless, underscored by a transparent and equitable 60/40 split agreement, which instilled immediate confidence. Subsequently, the dedicated team from "A Touch of Class" meticulously handled every detail, from the precise pricing of each item to the artful staging of the entire collection. Their efficient, respectful, and thoroughly professional approach to preparation was truly remarkable, culminating in a highly successful and well-attended three-day estate sale. We were profoundly impressed by their adept capability to manage the entire complex process with such a high degree of expertise, sensitivity, and organizational finesse. We wholeheartedly and confidently recommend "A Touch of Class Estate Sales by Don" to any individual or family requiring reliable, compassionate, and supremely professional estate sale assistance during what can often be a very difficult period.

Talbott Auctions contracted with us to sell our mother's furniture & household goods this summer,…read morebut kept pushing back the date of the estate sale from mid-summer to August, then November and then finally told us they wouldn't sell any of the items that we put in storage while waiting for the estate sale.

Was hoping and was told that my Mom's estate would be able to be sold and her furniture moved over…read moreto Talbott Auction's storefront in Corrales around the middle of October. I originally signed the contract in June, and was not told that I would have to wait months, incurring storage fees for the estate during the time. I had to move everything out of my Mother's house in late July because the gated community where she previously lived, Tanoan, did not allow estate sales. I was sent an abrupt text message a few days ago informing me that for unknown reasons, Talbott Auctions would not be able to handle the estate sale. This was quite a shock, since I was looking forward to liquidating the estate and closing the book on my Mom's move and relocation into a retirement home. I had previously brought to their storefront 10 heavy boxes of books that I had hoped would be included in the estate sale. I was told that I needed to provide an address where they could be delivered. Now the boxes are sitting on my front porch and I am not sure where to store them, since all of my garage space is taken up. This is very disappointing to me and my three siblings since we have virtually no time to deal with this because of busy work and family schedules. I am sorry that I didn't do more research about alternate estate sale companies/consignment stores.

i have seen his service twice. first with a sister of the family, who is an artist (pay attention…read moredavid snow is artist), has discarded sister's unfinished artwork, and city of Albuquerque now owns it, 6 inch under dirt. Same family decided to use him to help clean a house (note tenant is NOT deceased), and David told person picked by tenant be in charge of the clean not part of project or stay out of the project. (went against tenant terms, defined under State Law of New Mexico). CLEARLY he is not expert in doing the clean-out tasks, especially not aware with state law of New Mexico with living peoples.

The home was beautifully staged, with all the items for sale tastefully arranged in each room according to their function. The prices were quite reasonable, and all the staff onsite were extremely helpful in guiding us through the rooms, especially if we had questions about certain items. They were all cheerful and friendly, welcoming us to the event. Despite the large number of customers, the checkout line moved fairly rapidly and quite smoothly. They were set up to accept cash and credit or debit cards; there may have been other forms of payment accepted, but those choices were enough for me. Both my friend and I left with treasures, and we very much appreciate the friendliness and professionalism of Blue Raven Estate Sales!
