My mother passed away this past July and my brothers and I contracted with Certified to conduct an…read moreestate sale. They came highly recommended but they failed in conducting a successful sale. Once the sale was over Steve Holcombe sent me an invoice for $1,879.00 for them failing to sale the $3,000.00 minimum per the contract. I then sent the following email: Losing my mother this past July has been the hardest thing my family and I have ever endured. We have done everything possible to honor her memory and integrity. We were referred to you and your company by our real estate agent. My brothers and I reviewed your website and customer reviews which were and are very positive. We were especially encouraged with the portion of your website which reads "We have never had a sale where the homeowner had to pay money out of pocket." Also, "we can pretty quickly tell the homeowner, and you, if the minimum is going to be an issue." We put credence in these statements and moved forward with you and your company. Again, we have never dealt with this type of family loss or dealt with a company such as yours. When you and I met on September 16 and you conducted your sales presentation I was relieved that I could move forward with your company and that everything would run smoothly. As the executor of my mother's estate I have been juggling many things and had so many stressful tasks to perform on her behalf. During your sales presentation you said that many road signs advertising the sale would be placed within a several mile radius directing people to the sale. I was late in getting the discard pile removed from the garage and it took until Wednesday before I could hire a company to remove the pile from the garage. I thought that you could begin the setup on Monday as planned in the interior house but then you stated that you would not start at all until the pile was totally cleared. You recommended that no family, including myself attend the event because it could be a stressful experience for us. We did not attend the sale as you requested but both my brother and I drove around the several mile vicinity on Friday and Saturday and only saw road signs at and within a few yards of the subdivision entrance. We thought that was odd but didn't think much about it at the time. Upon completion of the sale you sent me an email and attached an invoice on October 19 showing that you only sold $1,221.00 out of the $3,000.00 minimum, therefore, I owed $1,879.00 to make up the difference. I was quite shocked to hear this and then questioned you about the lack of road signs. You mentioned that thieves stole 6 of your area road signs and that "once thy are stolen we are hesitant to keep replacing them as it becomes a game for the thieves-at our cost." You never contacted me so we could address the lack of road signs issue. You also said the animal urine smell was a major issue for the poor amount of sales, however, you never mentioned that was a problem on your 2 previous visits, one of which was 2 days before the start of the sale. The slogan for your company is "Moving On Made Easy" but this has definitely not been the case. I contacted you last Tuesday, October 20 asking you to reconsider these charges. I again am asking you to do the same. This has been the most stressful situation that I have experienced since my mother's death. We ultimately agreed that I could pay half the invoice so I could put this terrible situation behind me.

She and the team were pleasant and helpful. Items were priced fairly. I can't imagine this is an easy business to be in, but from a buyer's perspective...I'll be looking out for their sales.

The prices are reasonable and the merchandise is great. Unfortunately, the customer experience consistently falls short. Rachel often speaks to people in dismissive and at times aggressive tones. On multiple occasions, I've observed her snapping at customers and responding with sarcasm rather than patience. During my most recent visit, my wife (a therapist) noticed her being particularly unkind to a customer whose first language was not English. That really bothered both of us. In a time in our country when basic courtesy and civility feel increasingly rare, how people are treated matters. It just does. Good prices bring people in, but respect and kindness are what bring them back.

Rachel and Nate walked us through the process making it effortless on our part and made sure we got the most possible for my children. They worked around our schedules, coordinated with the realtor selling the house, and arranged for anything left after the sale to be picked up by a charity. Super pleasant and easy to work with. Always willing to do the little extras to make things go smoothly. They made great recommendations on what to sell in the estate sale and what might be better sold to a dealer focused on particular items, and had great recommendations on those dealers. Working with Rachel and Nate took so much stress out of a difficult situation, I'm eternally grateful for all their help.

From a buyer's perspective, GB is fine and we don't want to discourage anyone from attending their…read moresales. From a seller's perspective, however, GB was very disappointing and unprofessional. If you're searching for an estate sale company to hire for your home or a loved one's, I can't recommend this company at all. We had an estate sale in April because we're downsizing and moving soon, and we had numerous issues. Coincidentally, we found out the day after our estate sale ended that the company had recently been sold and that the new owners were not good (it used to be run by Sal Sierra). PREP: Grey Baron (GB) had nine days* to sort, price and stage our estate sale, and they didn't get everything done. I had many items that were never priced and made available to sell, but the GB team left early almost every day of the prep period, and on several days there was only one person here working. *They initially scheduled eleven days for prep, but at 5 p.m. the day before Day 1, GB texted me that they were delaying because they didn't feel they needed the full 11 days! Apparently they were wrong. PRICING: GB's prices were extremely inconsistent and I concluded that they don't really know the value of a lot of the items or don't know how to use Google Lens (e.g., $600 on a used, scratched coffee table that I bought for $12 at Goodwill; higher prices on new decor pieces than on antique, hand-painted items). We weren't expecting to sell anything for top dollar, but starting at $1 for vintage china or glass dishes, etc., was setting the bar too low. They also separated sets of items and sold them as individual pieces (e.g., salt and pepper shakers, silverplate cream and sugar sets). STICKERS: The stickers that they used were good because every item had a bar code, but they were too small to include a decent description of the item AND they were very sticky and ruined a few items (e.g., silverplate, painted items, frames). SECURITY: Even though we gave GB a key to our house on the first prep day, two days later they left at 12:30 p.m. (for the day!) while we were at lunch and we came home to find our garage door wide open! When I complained, GB said they didn't know how to close the door. What?! This is the biggest complaint of all because we trusted them with our home and our pets, and they completely dropped the ball. Anyone could have walked right into our house. And to clarify, we hadn't moved out yet so our all of our valuables were in the house in the off-limits rooms. PAYMENT: One week after the sale, GB mailed me a check. After two weeks and no check, I followed up. GB said that we certainly should have received the check by then and offered to stop payment on it and replace the check, which they did. GB brought the new check to our house and left it in our mailbox even though we were home (it was a check for over $10K!). Thankfully we were able to cash the second check, but we were very surprised to see that it was not only a personal check, but that it was also post dated. It's been well over a month now and the first check still hasn't shown up (I'm honestly not sure if they every mailed it or if they were just making excuses to delay paying us). We're glad to be done and to have most of the items sold, but it was a very disappointing, stressful experience and we know there are better companies out there. We made our decision based on GB's ratings and reviews, but those had to have been based on the former owner's sales or just reviews of individuals who attended one of their estate sales.

I get their weekly email about the locations of their sales all over the place. Locally, their prices tend toward the reasonable for almost everything. Most books, CDs, etc. are $1 each. They leave out stickers with numbers on them before the sale, so you don't have to wait around for an hour before the sale starts.

Leah went above and beyond the call of duty for me and my family. Not only did she expertly…read morenegotiate and secure a contract that we were very happy with on our dream home, but she also took a very proactive role in helping us to clear some challenging obstacles related to the sale of our home in a different state even though she wasn't handling that transaction. Every single time I felt the stress bubbling up, one phone call to Leah would calm my nerves and remind me that there was nothing to worry about because we were in the best possible hands. From our first showing to closing day and beyond, it was obvious that in addition to her extensive expertise, Leah is genuinely passionate about helping her clients enjoy a smooth and successful home-buying experience. I love how communicative and efficient Leah is. I never had to wonder what was going on because she always kept us in the loop and gave excellent advice throughout the whole process. She has a strong network of reliable contacts for anything you might need from inspectors to movers and everything in between. When logistical issues prevented us from physically making it to the closing on time, Leah jumped in and served as our surrogate by doing a video final walk-through for us and collecting the keys. She then met us at the house with a sweet arrangement of thoughtful gifts and a few essentials that came in very handy after a long day of traveling. Buying a home anywhere is a very stressful process. Buying a home hundreds of miles away from your hometown while trying to sell your current home and juggling the endless logistical challenges of a cross-state move makes regular home-buying stress seem like child's play. The most valuable lesson I learned in this whole process is that you should choose your realtor as carefully as you choose your future home because that one choice can play a huge role in whether your dream home becomes a reality or devolves into more of a nightmare. As I write this review sitting comfortably in my beautiful new home that likely would have slipped through my fingers had I chosen any other agent, I can assure you that Leah Akiki is the dream maker you need in your corner. There is no better real estate professional and nobody else I would ever consider using for my future real estate needs.
