I live in Nevada but had a family home in Cumberland in need of a clean-out in preparation for…read moresale. I was concerned about the valuable contents needing to be cleaned out. Honesty and integrity was a big concern and the local "auction" services there all seemed "dodgy". Several realtors suggested McDonald's liquidation service. I was impressed by their knowledge of antiques and collectibles and the fact they travel to metro areas where these items bring higher prices. Their commission was fair. They cleaned out the contents relatively quickly and I was pleased with the results of the sales. I highly recommend McDonald's Estate Liquidation Service.

Not a very good experience. Went one time to a estate sale ran by mcdonalds liquidations. First…read morethere were customers already at the house grabbing stuff before the company was even there. We found a small shoebox full of Christmas ornaments and took it to them to get a price (nothing was priced). The man working proceeded to shove his hand in the box and throw things around breaking the hat off a snowman in the process. First said it was $20 and before anyone could answer and pay he took 3 ornaments out of the box and then said $10 for the box and $20 for those three. Then again before anyone could answer he grabbed his phone and scanned one of the ornaments with it. Said one of the three is expensive online and that he needed $59 for the Santa ornament and $8 for the box of ornaments including the one he broke by rooting through it. We left empty handed. This place is very unprofessional and clearly lacks knowledge on how to function in their profession.

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!!

Anabelle and her team showed incredible understanding and compassion, handling all items with care and keeping open communication throughout the entire process.

They did the legwork, and I will be forever grateful for their kindness and assistance.

I can't add any more to the two previous reviews, because my experience was identical, with a few…read moreminor additions - like she never provided us with a detailed inventory, as she stated she would. She brought her OWN crap over to sell, even after I told her that I was not ok with that (I guess that's why she kicks you out of your own house during the sale, so you are "unaware". Her granddaughter was in my daughter's room, laying on the bed watching TV (the one that was supposed to be sold) when I came home early to see what was up. A few weeks after our sale, I viewed our realtors new listings and GO FIGURE - there was our furniture! Did she pay for it? No clue, because again, NO INVENTORY. She is a crook, and I'm happy her business went under - although now I see she built a brand-spanking new home in Florida, which is interesting because during our sale, she and Martin didn't have two pennies to rub together, as she told me. She also went on and on about her personal problems - and then pulled her "Christianity" out and sprinkled that crap around. I would guess that she is doing business under a different name now - she would have to, after the reviews she has received both here and on Google. This woman promised us a $10,000 estate sale profit, did not advertise it ONCE, other than the morning of on Craigslist, and told us how beautiful everything was - and we walked away with a measly $2800. When I admonished her for that, she said "Well, everything you own is so dated, nobody wanted it.".....right....a 4 year old dining room set that was purchased for $15K that was used maybe 5 times was dated and not wanted.....there's a special place in HE## for people like Amanda Galicia....

We are downsizing from a home to a 5th wheel so we can travel to promote my published books. No sense in me redoing my note this is the note I sent to the realtors (total of about 12) I don't normally recommend people I haven't used yet BUT I did with Amanda (Kitten Creek Estate Sale). I just got a VERY nasty voice mail from her and would NOT recommend using her AT ALL. I now must go back to a dozen or so agent friends I've told Amanda about (due to talking about our own situation) and will certainly retract as well as post on YELP. Rather than TAKE responsibility she unloads it on a potential client. She is NOT kind, NOT patient and VERY demeaning, patronizing and condescending. I thought my husband was going to cancel on her on the phone yesterday when he got a mouth full from her. Demanding things "be worded" a certain way. IE: We needed boxes that she said to get from HER vs. Home Depot (at her cost) when I wrote and ask her when she could bring those by she said "We weren't communicating well and that I should have clarified WE didn't want HER to pack --- but this was discussed while she was here, so why would I say that? Facts are: She's said she'd bring boxes. I'm asking, "when can I get some?" This caused her to cancel going forward abruptly to assist us in July. If she can't handle ME I hardly think you'd want to trust her with a senior client or anyone else counting on help and then being dumped because they didn't "word" something the way SHE THINKS it should be worded. We go from that to attacking MY Christianity on a voice mail. Hum....how is asking for boxes SHE TOLD ME to ask for and MY Christianity tied into one another? Poor thing. This all happen AFTER I ask for references. DO NOT USE or recommend her. Sorry I said something before using her myself. Never will I do that again. Never have I done it before. #KittenCreekEstateLiquidation #EstateSaleCompany #StephenCityVA #KittenCreek #EstateSale
