Wonderful experience with Wings Estate sales two weeks ago. They fit us in for a sale on short notice. Sale was beautifully staged and advertised with several highly dollar items that did sell. Communication was very pleasant and comforting for us while going through such an emotional process. Highly recommend. Experienced and friendly staff. read more

If I could give a negative, I would. Terrible experience. Paul, owner, was so rude I couldn't believe it. Total misogynistic being, contemptuous and insolent. Once I signed the contract, couldn't do a thing. Was recommended by my community, but they remembered when a woman owned it and she was wonderful; came to our community many times with excellent results. No one will use him now, he isn't allowed here. Paul wasn't just rude to me but rude to the management at our community building. His people were there several days early getting ready. I live across the street, so I video taped those folks carrying things out to their car. Pretty "sketchy" people. Paul states that those items were paid for. BULL. He brought in so much of his own CRAP to sell that you could hardly see the antiques available or all the other lovely items. I told him NOT TO SET UP in the back room, as there was a mold issue. He disregarded it and when I told him to get the stuff out of there due to health and legal issues with customers, he turned into a complete ass. When all over, many of our items didn't sell (PRICES WAY TOO HIGH) and in the end, floors were scratched. Of course no comment from Paul. After speaking with many other estate sale groups in Albuquerque I found out that none of them have much respect for him. They have heard these stories over and over. I go to estate sales, and tell the story. No one is surprised! Paul has owned this business for around 5 years. It's not even in his name due to some issue with his last business. This guy is a rip off! DON'T USE HIM. He kept 60% and took the remaining items. A couple of unprofessional "liquidators" were there a few days to collect what was left. Coming in late at night, needed to call me to get through the gate, unprepared for the load. Paul really scrapes the bucket for his workers! WISH I used the first company I contacted, but they didn't have a schedule that worked for me. The homeowner was very quickly placed in a nursing home due to medical issues and I had to sell her assets as quickly as I could. Didn't know how screwed we'd be. Paul is a total ass -- karma is definitely waiting for him. Again, NONE of his peers will have anything to do with him. SAVE YOURSELF -- GO TO ANOTHER COMPANY! BUYER BEWARE!!! :^{ Punk in pink shoes. read more

Overpriced everything. Half empty very old spray paint cans at $4.00 is just one example. Cracked soap dispenser in bathroom for $8.00. They just ran around and marked things randomly without thought. Maybe getting a better price after the Estate sale is over for everything left . who knows. Bummer. read more

My wife and I purchased a home and permitted the prior owners to stay post closing so that this company could conduct an estate sale. We had an incredibly negative experience with the staff, and the owner in particular, whose name is Paul. He attempted to interfere with a pre-closing walkthrough and was rude, demeaning, and utterly unhelpful. After the estate sale, we found significant scratch damage to wood floors throughout the house. Paul and his team also misplaced a garage door opener and would not answer calls or texts for an extended period. When we were able to contact Paul (which required calling his personal number), he was curt and then became angry and abusive when he confronted about the damage to our property. He repeatedly stated that he did not care about the damage and that his company could not be held responsible. Finally, I later learned that his company has been sued based on alleged property damage and theft. Do not use this company's services. They will damage your home and Paul will shirk all responsibility for his and his team's actions. read more

Everything was so expensive.Even on the fifty percent off day it was still expensive, staff watches as if you're gonna steal something

We had to clear out our large home in just three weeks while, at the same time, we had to be in Florida, where we were needed by elderly parents going through medical issues. We quickly selected a limited number of items to move out-of-state, and handed to Paul and his team (like angels with wings) the daunting job of selling everything else and cleaning up the house. They arranged an amazing sale that had a tremendous response of over 2500 customers! We felt at peace, trusting in Paul, who communicated with us often, answered our questions, and paid attention to details, security, and everything. I don't know what we'd have done without them! We'd hoped to net more for our houseful of high-end items, but we couldn't have done as well on our own, and we're grateful that a lot of buyers were delighted and blessed by the high-value treasures they purchased. We highly recommend Estate Sales by Wings! read more

I was at an estate sale recently in Rio Rancho - most of the staff quite friendly and helpful.The items were staged nicely and priced pretty well. I was disappointed by what appeared to be a couple of staff members cussing and talking politics in a pretty insulting way.To be fair I am not positive these were staff members but they were walking around like they were . read more

This is my favorite estate-sale company in Albuquerque. Their merchandise is always well-shown, clean and neat---all in sharp contract to most others companies. They are friendly and helpful; however, too many of their employees seem to be young and inexperienced and show it. They need to employ mature people to do their jobs and assist customers at the sales. I also have noticed that although much of the offerings from Wings are from what I would call "up-scale' homes in 'up-scale' neighborhoods, the merchandise offered is often too highly priced---many times the sale price is the same or higher than the item was new---I understand that the owner wants to make money on the sales, but trying to sell things for overprice is not the way to do it. He needs to make sure that the merchandise is offered for a fair price, and he won't have to wait until 50%-off day to get the price he wants. read more

An employee of Wing Estate sale was rude and aggressive with us. We left without incident.

When I first started going to Wings Estate sales I found the prices to be reasonable and I purchased a lot of material. But since the expansion into other states the price has increased for example a piece of material less than a half of a fat quarter was priced at $2 everything is priced at near retail. When I was at the last sale everyone was talking about the high prices even the staff know the prices are outrageous. Long story short I don't think I will be going back even at half off on Sunday some of the prices are still too high after all we are talking about second hand items. Perhaps the expansion is what is causing the higher prices. read more

I see the last two reviews, one by "Catherine" and one by "Sue". My experience is based on a sale done by this company on a street called Springhill, which is in NW Alb. Horrible does not fully describe the service provided by this company. The employees are so rude it was hard to stay in the home, so I didn't. If you are considering an Estate sale company I would recommend not using this company. On a side note, why on earth would a reviewer (Sue) spend so much time on the parking issue? Seems like something else must be going on. Generally a review of a company is about service, delivering what is promised like pricing or commitments, and they way employees treat customers and clients. Talking about parking and trashcans. Makes me wonder...... read more

The owner is rude, angry and mean. The prices are exorbitant. Quality is okay but you can find it in stores brand new for the same price, so no value there. read more

Under new management. Decent signage (hot pink) and for sale in house with no parking, arranged for parking nearby. Totally understand and agree with COVID restrictions, so for small house, takes a while for one's turn. Why 3 stars? Huge line waiting to enter and owner allowed person who he obviously knew in to the sale - bypassing 19 people. Not very polite nor a good look. read more

To the point... I was at the cashier purchasing my items. While making the transaction, the cashier and I were going over the price on a book, I let the cashier know a associate told me the price, when I picked up the item. They said the book would be five dollars. The owner of wings estate sales (Paul), was standing next to the cashier and was harassing me about the price (In my face harassing) I did nothing but tell them that the price is five dollars for the book, is what the wings associate told me. The owner Paul was a complete lunatic. read more

I only gave it one star because there was nothing less. The 'greeter' was the rudest man I have ever come across. He was smart mouthing about everything. My husband and I heard him belittling the neighbors. We didn't even go in. Can't imagine doing business with someone like that. Heard customers leaving who were discussed about no 25% off on the second day of sale after it was advertised that way. Terrible way to do business. Don't give this company your time or money. read more

I went to a sale on Guadalupe Tr during the last hour. There were still some quality items left but had originally priced at 3 to 4 X value based on goggle. I gathered up 6 items and asked to speak to Paul, the owner, he wouldn't deal with me. I am a re-seller who deals with many company owners, have a friendly way of asking and always look for the win/win. He immediately cut me off. I walked out and won't return. It's too bad for the consignor, money out of everyones pocket. Won't be back. read more

I have gone to Estate Sales by Wings for many years, starting back when Beverly had the Company and now with Paul. They always do a great job putting on the estate sales. The items are clean, priced and well organized. Most sales go on for three days. The first two days are full price and the third day is 50% off of what remains for sale. I saw a comment from someone else that they advertise 25% off the second day but they must be confused with another estate sale company. Many offer 20% or 25% off the second day but not Wings. They consistently do full price first two days and 50% off on the third day. Paul and his employees are always professional, friendly and helpful. Unlike some estate sale companies, they do not charge a fee if you use a debit card. Also unlike some other estate sale companies, he offers his employees to help you load furniture or heavier items that you buy. I have taken advantage of that myself! I recently went to one of their estate sales on the west side of Albuquerque off Golf Course. It was a corner house on a narrow street. Friday was apparently their trash pickup day because everyone had their trash and recycling cans out which made finding a parking space difficult. We found one and were walking to the house when I saw a man putting what I thought was a note under the wiper blade of a car parked in front of the house. We heard later it was a parking ticket given by an off duty APD officer that lived on that street. I'm not sure why. They were not blocking the road or anything. We returned to the sale on Sunday to see what treasures might be left. There were some candle holders that I liked. When we got back to the sale, we noticed that most of the neighbors still had their trash and recycling cans out in front of their houses. I guess they were blocking off the parking in front of their houses. We went down to the end of the street which was like a T with a cul-de-sac on the right side as well as the left side at the end of the street. Some of the houses there also had their trash cans out in front of their houses and the houses at the left end of the street even had put cones out blocking that entire corner. I'm not sure that is even legal. But it made me wonder about this neighborhood. Most of the estate sales are because someone has passed away. If there is a spouse still living, in many cases, later that person is moved to an assisted living or nursing home which then results in the estate sale. Sometimes it is people downsizing, moving and not wanting to move everything but more often it is a death or assisted living situation. I wondered if these neighbors knew what had happened to the people in that house and why they would do things to discourage people stopping in to purchase items that the family was selling. For us, the longest we might be there would be an hour and that would be on one of the first two days. If we go back on the last day, it is usually for a very brief visit. What we were looking for is either still there for sale or already sold and gone. Why would these neighbors be so hateful to their fellow neighbor in making it difficult for people to go to their sale? It seemed very mean to me and made me glad that I have good neighbors. Maybe this will make other neighbors think twice before making it more difficult for people already going through a trying time. At any rate, I guess this is a review more on the neighbors in that area than Wings. Estate Sales by Wings is great! They always have excellent signage if allowed. Look for their bright pink signs which will lead you right to the Estate Sale. Good luck in treasure hunting!! read more

Used to be pretty good place to satisfy your thrill-of-a-deal itch, but no more. This year (2022) prices jumped up substantially. Some items cost even more than the same item brand new. Be very careful buying any electronics as they don't test it well and it might be a dead unit. They hired a bunch of new people who don't really know what customer service means and just unpleasant to deal with. There is no way to get anybody (Paul) on the phone, so don't even try. Wings used to be the best and now it's just mediocre. read more

I recently visited the sale they hosted on Sunday, November 21st in Paradise Hills. While I was there I interacted a few times with the associate, PAUL, and I can attest that he was rude and unprofessional. I asked for the price of an item and he answered back - "not for sale". Ok, I didn't think anything about it until I checked out and asked if they had a certain size of item available - he then mumbled something and I asked the question again. He then replied curtly in front of a crowded line of people - "I SAID, we only have these left - NO OTHER SIZES." I understand the stress of coordinating large projects, employees, etc but this man needs to learn how to speak to customers. Wings sales are generally overpriced and I occasionally see their signs around town. I don't usually stop but that day I was killing time and I was sorry I went to the sale. read more

Beverly and her team did such an excellent job on my mother's estate sale. After contacting a long list of so many estate sale companies in Albuquerque, we interviewed 3. We selected one based only that their schedule was completely open and their fees were the lowest. After a few things didn't check out about them and going on gut feeling, we canceled. We had wanted Beverly to do the sale for us based on a recommendation from another estate sale company and her prompt and professional replies but her schedule was full for another 6-8 weeks and she was the most expensive. After considering all the facts of our specific situation, we decided to wait for her availability. We are so glad we did. We had already left town and Beverly with her team were all on their own. They handled a sticky situation we kept having with alarm company with patience and professionalism. They swooped in and organized a house of chaos in a very presentable and functional sales space. They did so caringly and honestly. They came across a bag of jewelry that apparently my mother had hid and forgot about and they double checked with us if we really wanted to include it in the sale. They sent pictures of its contents and pointed out that one appeared to be a diamond wedding ring. My mother said that was impossible and to just include it all in the sale but I asked them to hold it out. After having it sent to us, my mother was so delighted to find that it was her diamond wedding ring that she thought was lost years ago. Although we were requested not to be present at all for the sale for a number of (good) reasons, we did have a webcam and checked a few times during the 2 days of the sale. I was absolutely amazed at the number of people that were coming into the sale and how efficiently her team were working the rooms. A full time greeter at the front door and and someone in each room monitoring, answering questions and providing assistance to the cashier stand and then out to their truck if needed. Everyone dressed in company colors so they could be easily identified as well as providing a sense of security in a rather busy space. After the sale, they left the house completely empty, vacuumed and swept and in better condition than they found it. My mother and I can not recommend Estate Sales by WIngs any higher - truly a 5 out 5 star experience. We worth the rates and in fact we may have received more income using them than a less expensive company because of how it was merchandised, how much traffic they brought in, their level of professionalism and the security they provided. And then of course their honesty of ensuring my Mother's wedding ring was not lost in the sale - priceless. Thank you Beverly and Team Wings! read more

As a real estate broker for 35 years, I believe that Beverly and her team did an outstanding job for my client on Ridgecrest. Beverly and her team have a unique way of presenting all the items that are being sold(even in the garage.) Beverly and her team are very friendly, helpful and professional in their dealings with their clients and her loyal customers who attend the sale. I strongly (again) would recommend Beverly and her team to any future clients. Alice Stephens Associate Broker Coldwell Banker Legacy read more

Estate sales by Wings in Albuquerque New Mexico did a amazing job for my brother and I. Not only did they deal with a long distant family member and covid 19 and all the restrictions that involved but multiple sale dates. This was our first experience in going through a loved ones house that needed to be cleared out. They were sensitive to our feelings and managed to find new homes for lots of treasures. It was a job that we weren't interested in doing ourselves and we wouldn't have been as successful as they were. I appreciate all the workers, the hard work they put into to set up and clean out but also they fact it's done. I would recommend them to anyone that has a household to be repurposed. Thank you Beverly and your crew! read more

Beverly and her team of Estate Sales by Wings are just totally awesome and amazing!!!! We cannot thank you enough for your support and attention to detail. We were overwhelmed with 37 years of stuff in our house on top of trying to relocate. Beverly and her team came in and put my mind at ease. No question or concern went unanswered! All of our stuff was handled with such care. Thank you so much for everything!! We highly recommend Beverly and her team!! Dave and Cindie S. read more

I'm so glad I took the recommendation of a friend and called Beverly at Estate Sales By Wings. She met with me and outlined everything they do--from informing the neighbors about the sale--to completely clearing the home. The actual sale involves many days of preparation, and they do a tremendous job of sorting, arranging, and displaying. Everything was treated with professional care, and everyone was kind and gentle. Beverly and crew made a very difficult time easier for me, and she and her crew exceeded my expectations. read more

I was completely overwhelmed with the handling of my mother's estate. I had no where to turn until I decided to interview 7 different estate sale companies. I also took the time and visited the estate sales of all 7 of the companies. This was such a big decision for me to make. All of the companies I interviewed worked on a "percentage of sale fee". Estate Sales by Wings was the last company I interviewed. After I interviewed Beverly of Estate Sales by Wings AND visited one of her estate sales, I didn't care what percentage she was charging because I knew she and her team were well worth it. She and her entire team treated me with a lot of gentleness and patience because I am still so close to my mother. They treated my mother's belongings and her home with the utmost respect. I visited the home the day before the sale started and I was so moved with the care they put in to the set up of all of the items. The inside of the home and the back yard looked like an expensive, upscale store displays in every room. They spoke with me about a few items I had left behind in the home and wanted to make sure if the items should or should not be included in the sale. It was amazing! After the 2 full day sale, the team swept out the home and left nothing behind. It was a moving experience to walk in to my mother's empty home, but it was a HUGE sense of relief knowing that Beverly and her team took care of my mom's things the way my mom would have wanted. Beverly and her team are a team of Angels that walk you through the process, step-by-step. I VERY HIGHLY recommend them for you and your family in your time of need. read more

This company is incredible! For ten days before our three day sale started, five of their staff worked all day at our home sorting, cleaning, staging. Our home was transformed into a beautiful store. People were lined up at six am the first morning (each morning for that matter) and numbers were given out to the first twenty five. They could leave, have breakfast, and return when the doors opened at nine AM. We did not attend our own sale, but friends and neighbors told us it was the best estate sale they had ever been to. Each day as items were sold, they restaged and the "store" always looked good. We arrived back an hour after they closed the last day. The few items that were left were in the garage (I had chosen for them not to take them to charity as I wanted to divide them among several). They were vacuuming and cleaning and all the signs in the neighborhood were down.. One would have never known that a thousand people were through our house in three days. One may think the cut that Wings takes is high. NO WAY...it is cheap for what they do for you. They are professional, honest, and I highly recommend them!! read more
