No one should live like that. Chris and his crew stepped in and cleared out all rooms, taking many items for donation and other items to be trashed. They cleared out his kitchen which had so many canned/boxed food items that were expired. Chris even moved items so they weren't a tripping hazard, he pointed out fire hazards too. He did all of this with compassion and understanding, even recommending a company to help with ongoing cleaning/care to avoid my relative's place returning to its unlivable state. He even provided tax documents for donated items. I live out of state and couldn't be there, and Chris communicated with me throughout the process, sending me videos as he progressed. I even got quotes from competitors who weren't as compassionate or affordable. I highly recommend Orion's Attic!! Chris is amazing!!

I usually have my receipts texted to me, and in the shuffle to stay organized and not drop anything, I didn't realize I was charged jacket prices for two skirts and coat prices for two jackets. That last one is the one that really ran up the price since coats are $20 and jackets are $10. Really disappointed and I wish I could get a refund for the difference. That's half a tank of gas in this economy. Unlike other reviewers, I did not detect any bad attitudes, however and the cashier was very nice, so I assume she made an honest mistake, but huge bummer! I'll check my receipts before I drive off next time.

They were the only ones who offered an off‑site auction solution--something I didn't even know existed. This approach turned out to be exactly what I needed. Instead of spending weeks cleaning, sorting, and preparing the house for a traditional sale, Four Sales removed the saleable items, handled everything with care, and generated a very reasonable return. Once the items were gone, clearing and cleaning the house became manageable. Their professionalism, compassion, and problem‑solving made an incredibly stressful situation so much easier. I'm deeply appreciative of their help and would recommend them without hesitation.

She had a superb "selling your home guide" that had her personal experience as well as how the home would be marketed and including tips on moving. She started with numerous open houses and provided feedback on those as well as on individual appointments. The real good news on all that was the feedback she provided from buyer's realtors which enabled real time adjustments as needed. Her communication throughout the entire process was flawless and timely. And her responsiveness to my numerous inquiries was almost immediate. Would highly recommend her to everyone selling a house in Falls Church or Northern Virginia. You will not be disappointed and you will be thankful you hired her!

She assisted my brother and me with the sale of our parents' home in April 2022. I have worked with many real estate professionals on several transactions over the years and can say with confidence that Philippa is one of the best I have ever used. Philippa has the qualities that make her an extremely successful and effective agent. We found her extremely knowledgeable and well-attuned to the super fast-changing market of early 2022. She was always attentive to our concerns and very responsive to questions, often responding immediately no matter the time. She showed great attention to detail enabling the sale to be made in less than a week. Our mother had recently passed away and we were raw with grief. Furthermore, we live in California, so it was even more important that we could rely on someone like Philippa to take the reins from beginning to end and that is exactly what she did. She was able to interpret and solve all the questions pertaining to our mother's Trust without the need for outside lawyers, and this was a great convenience to us. We also feel that we got the highest price possible for the house based on her pricing strategy and advice. Philippa exceeded our expectations in every way. The sale went very smoothly and we closed on time. I would not hesitate to recommend Philippa to anyone in need of a listing agent or for the purchase of a home. We interviewed three other agents before deciding on Philippa and she did not disappoint. Every detail was perfect, from the fantastic professional photos, the listing description, to the impeccable transactional aspects leading to the close of escrow. In a nutshell, she is a top tier professional, intelligent, tenacious, fun and talkative, bright and conscientious. If you need an agent/broker then hire Philippa Main. You won't be disappointed.

TL;DR Poor up-front communications, hiding the fact that they went on vacation while our auction…read morewas active, suboptimal policies only on our auction it seemed (red letters on our auction, unlike others, saying things like DO NOT BID IF YOU CANNOT COME DURING THIS WINDOW OF TIME), over-promising and under-delivering, once auction started they stopped communicating altogether and just sent the payout and moved on. They also listed items that were literally part of the house, which we luckily got them to remove in time. The positives: I will mention they did it at short notice, and they waved the $3500 fee to do an online auction. They combined our auction with other auctions to increase the bulk of the auction. Those things we appreciated. And, in person, his wife was nice and I tried to keep things moving to respect her time. But, the actual sale execution had some flaws. The situation: Needed to clear out an estate to sell a house, but was left with too much furniture. Most of the other stuff got donated (and was literally trash). Many other estate-sale people turned us down. The experience started when we discovered "ezAuctions" was out of business. Then our agent mentioned "ezDownsizing" .. In this estate there was a $20000 bedroom set (retail, 1980s, vintage Ralph Lauren), where just one of the pieces had recently sold on ebay for $8000. Most of the other stuff we knew was not that valuable. I was very skeptical. Guy on the phone who called us back (Clay? Brian? No idea...he was The Husband) .. very pushy, said we had only 1 day to "fit it in", and also said exactly what we wanted to hear. "You've got an auction with $6000-8000 dollars easy, maybe even up to $12000 but I don't like giving numbers" ... well, he was way off. The entire auction netted $4k, and we got 60% of that, minus some odd fees that they tacked on that had to do with "no sale items" which I still to this day do not know what we paid for but it added up to another $108 we owed them. His wife arrived and asked us "not to be there" when they took pictures. I get it, people probably tell meaningless stories about the items. It's probably super annoying. Still, it meant they made mistakes by listing parts of the house that were not to be sold at auction, like the whole house central vacuum, and light fixtures. Probable reasons it didn't do well: house was far away from any nearby town and had a Friday afternoon 2 hour window for pickup. This was a bad oversight. Needed a Saturday pickup window. Also, they went on vacation while doing the auction. They stopped responding to our texts and messages. If you just want stuff "gone gone gone" this is a company that will do that for you. If you want to get some value out of it, consider other options. I had been given a 50% off rental for a truck and should have driven it to Everything-But-The-House in Columbus, where the auctions are taken care of in a warehouse and the commissions are way less. (its a sliding scale where higher priced items have less commission!) 40% commission across the board: meaning on anything that sells for more than $1. And yeah, things sold for $1. There's no way to do "reserve" In Pittsburgh, there is a similar service called Hostettlers Auctions (or something like that). I think they use the exact same software. One thing about the Pittsburgh auction house (unrelated company) is that in the fine print they say they actually bid-up on items that are not selling for much. For example I bought through them 10 radios and in the last moments they "bid up" the radios to get more value out of me. I didn't love that they did that, but now that I've been on the other side, I would have appreciated it if they had that sort of service. I had put some stuff into the sale as well, and after I gave them $4000 worth of functional equipment and got $125, I regretted it. I should have also taken my stuff to Columbus instead of to them. What a waste. Even though I explained everything worked and came with spare parts to replace everything that could possibly break in my 3D printing lot, for whatever reason they wrote "UNTESTED MAY NOT WORK" on my auction listings and there was nothing I could do or say to stop it. Just some tidbits: $1200 worth of Snapper XD pro-grade lawn care equipment sold for $17 $2000 worth of 3D printing equipment sold for $200 $20000 Ralph Lauren Safari 3-piece bedroom set sold for slightly less than $2500 (mahogany matching bed, wardrobe, 21-drawer chest) $3600 curved glass antique vintage tiger maple china cabinet sold for $131 .. I had removed the shelves and for some reason they wrote on the listing "May have to take back off to put shelves back in" but that's definitely not the case. Again, no way to correct it. May have affected sale.
