I attended an Estate Sale Kathy was holding yesterday and it was the friendliest and most organized sale I've ever experienced. I purchased an entire table full of items, and two furniture pieces as well. I was extremely satisfied with the entire process. Everyone from the "Parking Dude" to the helpers walking around helping put out items to the checkout glass, everyone was so pleasant and helpful. If this is how they handle their sales, I'm looking forward to attending the next one. read more

Cathy don't take someone's card if you say you have 2500 people in your email and you don't do pre-sales and you don't need any extra customers. If I come to spend my money with you it's because I like you and want a good experience. We love promoting small business and estate Sale people. You were very rude and Inconsiderate stating this in front of the whole room. Tacky... please do throw away my card. Consider being gracious next time. People who shop a state cells have many selections to go to every single weekend. I will be crossing you off my list. Oh yes and let's bring up how they bring their own items to sell at the estate Sale. Trying to separate, whose items was what. Including Kathy's. So I guess the boots I bought belong to someone there and the jewelry belong to someone else not the lady who owned the home. I hate it when you all do that so don't tell me how you represent the customer because you 100% represented yourself there as well. read more

Be aware that this vendor does not give an accounting of the items sold, just a "final" amount. As there were many valuable items, we have no accounting as to if they sold, for how much or did they just go into her van? The ability to provide an accounting to the trust is left undone due to her slippery business practices. If you are really desperate, be sure to itemize EVERYTHING in the contract including what was sold and for how much, otherwise you too will experience the joke of this @business". BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE read more

Always well-curated and well-run sales! Reasonable pricing. Friendly and helpful team. If you see a Kathy's Estate Sale sign, make the turn and stop by! read more

Kathy's Estate Sales - Always the best estate sales! - Estate Liquidation Near Me

Can't say enough good things about Kathy's Estate Sales. Reasonable prices, and extremely attentive and kind staff. Its obvious they care a great deal about their clients. Plus, buying at estate sales helps recycle great items, helps the homeowner clear out their stuff, and supports hardworking independent business like Kathy's! I return again and again to her estate sales because they do such an excellent job! read more

My wife and I enjoy going to estate sales. Sometimes of course the folks who run them can be a little pushy or off-putting: goes with the territory. But we never let that bother us: it's just fun going to estate sales. Kathy's crew was anything but. We had interactions with four or five folks with Kathy's crew, and each one of them went above and beyond. Pleasant, informative, and one in particular was so helpful. She took the time to discuss details of our mutual interest in collecting a certain type of item. It was one of the best experiences thus far at an estate sale. Thanks! read more

Great prices and customer service!!!!!! They were so kind and fun to chat with !!!!!!!

Excellent estate sale company! Always well managed and always willing to make great deals! Highly recommend!

Kathy and her team are very professional and definitely know how to organize sales.They are also very kind and even when they are swarmed with people they still get the job done in a timely manner. I would recommend them all the way!! See you all at the next one. read more

Very disappointed with the outcome of my "living" estate sale. Many things were not sold and the proceeds were much less than anticipated. Should have picked a company that holds the sale for three days instead of just two. Also there was a lack of communication. Luckily I found out about a large extra charge for cleaning that had not been discussed before it took place. Kathy is a personable lady but maybe not trustworthy. read more

Weird Experience This review concerns the strange behavior of Kathy, the owner of this company. Furthermore, I want you to know that I haven't read any of the other reviews concerning Kathy and her company so I can say none have affected what I have to say. I went to an estate sale held by this company this afternoon. It wasn't terribly exciting but I spent time picking up some things that I found would be useful. My habit is to start a collection of things which accumulate as I spend time looking. I did see what item that I knew a friend might enjoy having but wanted to give it some thought. The employees were all very friendly enough so that I decided to put my name on their email list. Overall it was a good experience. As I was getting ready to make up my mind about things, I saw a man put the gold filigree item I had decided to buy for my friend in a plastic bag and walk out to the patio. I had waited to long which was sad as I know she'd have really enjoyed it.. Later I returned to to the patio to decide if wanted to buy two pieces of patio furniture, a lounger and a glider. I saw the man with the plastic bag putting more stuff in the bag and them put it next to a table. He was an employee so I decided to ask him if he was buying the bag of stuff. When he said no so I asked him if I could get something out of it. He said go ahead. As I did a very unpleasant woman walked up and told me that the bag was trash and to put everything back into it that it wasn't "cool" to look in it. She then told me if I wanted any of it that I could go in the alley and dig it out of the trash! I then suggested sh could be a little nicer about how she had said what she did to me. She made a remark I didn't hear and stomped off. I asked the nearest worker who she was and they said she was the boss, Kathy. Rarely can I say I have been as offended as I was by as I was person. It was obvious that she has no sense of how you deal with customers. My experience is that she was a very mean spirited individual. What bothered me even more was that she was trying to belittle me for even wanting to look in the bag. I knew that thing wasn't the case but pity the person who might be a bit timid would feel shamed by this person. Most people would have just walked out but I had spent time getting these things I wanted and I was going to have them. However, the first thing I did was get a black Sharpie and cross my name of the email list. Kathy will never get another cent of my money. I then purchased my items and told the employes what happened. They said she'd just had a problem and apologized if she took it out on me. Possibly that was the case but at that point, I just wanted to leave. I hoped her day went better but I wasn't going to be part of it. Now is the thing that happened that was the icing on the cake of a truly weird experience. I truly was trying to have some sympathy for this woman, Kathy. We all have bad days, I was trying to be understanding? As I was carrying my things out to the car, I stopped to open my hatchback. As I did, Kathy was drove by giving me an ugly smile, and waving. This is a very sad person. ***Now that I have written this review, I've read the other reviews I would suggest you read them including the two that aren't recommended. These people have dealt directly with Kathy as well!*** read more

When my (crazy hording) mom moved in with me Kathy and her team helped me tremendously! The sale ran smoothly and she was so kind & helpful. I couldn't have gotten through the disaster without her. read more

OMG, I'm so glad I am not the only one that had the most terrible service with this company. They are so rude and unprofessional. I was in one of their estate sale and when I wanted to pay for 2 purses I found, I asked her if she would take ONE dollar off the purchase, she I guess Kathy, responded in the most discourteous behavior : "NO, And I am not even adding taxes with that" ....Are you kidding me? By the way all the items were way overpriced!!!. Do not hire these people they have the worst manners I've ever seen in a estate sale or a garage sale. Just like the other review, I won't be attending to any of their sales again. EVER. read more

I attend estate sales all over the Valley, and went to one of their sales in Scottsdale. Saw a sign on the books that said "All Books $1- $5 (unless otherwise marked)". Picked out a few, and went up to pay for them. They said they couldn't sell the books I had in my hand for $5 each or less, (and they weren't marked another price). I also saw someone ahead of me in line have the same problem, and they wouldn't honor the price they posted. Also, as soon as I walked in the door, Kathy (I think) told everyone "If you grab something, you have to buy it". This is the first time I have heard this at an estate sale, and I don't make buying decisions that quickly. Anyone should be able to inspect an item before purchasing it, and have the option whether to buy or not. I was told by another buyer a story that happened at one of their other sales. He saw a group of items he collects posted on an online estate sale website, and was very interested in purchasing them. Enough so that he arrived at the sale FOUR HOURS BEFORE IT STARTED, to be the first in line. When he asked where the items were when the doors opened, he was told that "we are holding them for someone". WHAT?? This is very "cheesy" behavior. In general, the staff appeared to be rude and unprofessional as well. Well, needless to say, I haven't been, and won't be attending another of their sales. There are many more estate sale companies in this Valley, and most every time, my experiences have been great. Not this one....... read more

I have attended many Estate Sales and Kathy's by far is one of the most over priced sales I have been to. I have tried to negotiate and she won't budge. She was rude and had the take it or leave it attitude, I have had better luck negotiating prices in Antique stores. Things that should be sold in sets are sold separately with higher than Ebay pricing. I won't be returning to one of her sales and will steer anyone away from her sales that ask me. I will also be using my own social media to describe my awful experiences with this company. As a seller, this person is not customer friendly and as someone looking to have a company host an Estate sale, I would not want a person that will not work with buyers running my sale. read more

I have to disagree with all the critics. We have been going to estate sales for years and Kathy's is one that we always attend. They are not rude, they are very friendly and we enjoy the fact that there are NO CHILDREN allowed. I would be glad of that fact esp if I were the owner of the property. The children we have encounted at these sales are usually unsupervised and allowed to run around the place like a play ground. And as far as asking if they would take a lessor amount on a price....these are NOT garage sales. If you want to bargain, I suggest you follow the garage sales where you can offer $1.00 for an item. read more

not very friendly. I've been to a lot of their estate sales and their prices are extremely high. Then I went to their store and they were even higher. When I asked to see a necklace they acted as though I was going to steal it. I won't go to their estate sales again! read more

I go to a lot of estate sales and Kathy's are very well organized and items reasonably priced. She keeps the premises clean and orderly, has good signage on the streets, and I've always found the people working the sales to be helpful and polite. read more

Kathy's Estate Sales are some of the best in Metro Phoenix, Very helpful and willing to negotiate if there is interest in a particular item. Her team wrapped and helped load carefully my large furniture purchase. I now follow her sales weekly. Thanks Great Job Kathy. read more

I was googling this company to recommend them to someone, and found this yelp page. I have gone to one sale, in an upscale Scottsdale neighborhood, someone else had alerted me because it had some lapidary items, which I ended up getting. When I got to the sale, the street was lined with cars for blocks. It was a huge house and backyard with an amazing selection of furniture, furnishings, coins, gems,tools, just about anything you could imagine. The sale was going briskly and I picked my items and moved to the desk where Kathy worked to write up sales. The machine I bought is no longer made and I needed to find one, it was priced at several hundred dollars, but was in perfect condition and when new cost over $1000. It turns out that Kathy goes online to research prices, posts great photos of the majority of items, does the sale and collects money using a credit card terminal, all as organized as an estate sale could be. I think some of these reviews may have been done by the same person with a grudge, because I saw nothing like poor work and results for the property owners. Though I paid more than I hoped on the machine, it was well worth what I paid and well worth the money. I bought some other machines and a light, which were priced fairly. So I give this company an as good as it gets rating. read more

After reading these reviews from both buyers or sellers I know for certain we were spared from working with this company. Our family didn't feel comfortable with their business practices - at all. read more

My neighbor an elderly person hired these people to manage selling the contents of their home. I went to the sale when I saw the sign. Estate sales are not allowed in our small patio home community due to the parking situation. When I mentioned this to Kathy herself she lied and said she had permission from the HOA. I later found out she never asked for permission. There was constant problems for two days with people parking in front of driveways and our small streets are dead ends so cars were backed up all the way outside the community trying to get in and out. No one leaving the sale were carrying any purchases because everything was marked very high so it didn't sell. For example, a set of screwdrivers brand new in the package store label still intact said $1.99, Kathy's price $10.00, WHAT?. After the sale I saw Kathy's people removing all the contents of the sale into moving trucks to haul away. So I am guessing Kathy kept the contents that didn't sell and the homeowner pretty much just got nothing. Don't waste you time on Kathy. read more

I attend Estate Sales on a regular basis. Most companies are decent, some are exceptional and few, very few in my opinion, are down right nasty - so much so that I would never frequent them. Unfortunately, Kathy's Estate Sales falls into the latter. I truly believe if you have good leadership then you'll great staff. Kathy is obviously NOT a good leader. She is rude...period!!! It's like she is doing you a favor by having this sale. Her pricing is outrageous. And her rule of "...if you pick it up and take it with you, you better not change your mind because if you put it down and her staff see you then you will be banned from buying anything!!!" It's her business but she doesn't deserve my money. There are many, many Estate Sales companies in the Phoenix area - I say shop them instead!!!! read more

I hired Kathy to run a sale after my mother died, I had arranged the items in boxes and plastic bags for display. This took me many days as this was a fairly large sale. I explained I want all items priced low enough that they would be sold. My wife and I both stressed this point, the estate items need to be sold. I go over to my mom's house and see she ignored our request and priced everything too high. After the 3 day sale was over I had over half the stuff to be sold still remaining. She sold the "nice" things and left us a huge mess of unsold things. I'm very disappointed how our sale was handled. Take the easy money and run. read more

Kathy's Estate Sales were hired to sell off remaining items in my elderly mom's house after she moved to a 1 bedroom apartment. They performed inventory and pricing Monday-Thursday and held the sale Friday and Saturday. As Kathy promised, 8 employees were on hand to oversee the sale, and they worked hard to remove the remaining 15% of the items to the driveway for the arranged charity pickup. 85% of mom's items were sold. We easilu made the minimum $2000 charge and mom made a nice sum without the need to hire others to empty her home prior to putting it up for sale. All around a FABULOUS experience. read more

My husband and I have had the Exact experiences that the negative reviews reflect. Everything was overpriced tremendously and Kathy definitely has a certain " big me, little you " attitude". Won't be wasting my time with her "sale" read more
