Shiloh was knowledgeable, compassionate, and incredibly efficient. She prepared us for what to expect, knew how to price things, and fielded multiple requests to accommodate last-minute changes. She transformed what felt like an overwhelming task into something orderly, organized, and manageable. Her team of experts allowed us to get the best possible prices and make good decisions about next steps. I can't imagine having done this without her.

She arrived for our appointment within a few days of initial contact, carefully inspected and photographed all the pieces, and discussed the estate sale process and what her company offers. We scheduled two sales, one for friends of the family and the second for the public. She worked with her resources to fairly price all the items, and engaged a professional buyer to prepurchase much of the furniture. She negotiated excellent prices, and the buyer moved the large and heavy items out at their expense saving us the effort and cost and opening up the space to showcase the art. On the three sale days, she provided masks for those who didn't have them, managed the flow through the rooms, collected money and sales tax, and was a knowledgeable resource to the buyers about the artist, art, and home furnishings. The sale was very successful leaving only a few items unsold. We received an itemized account within a week and a check for the net proceeds by Certified Mail. Shiloh is very professional, cooperative, and friendly. She communicates very well. It was a pleasure to work with someone who "gets it all right," and is highly organized. The sale could not have gone any better. I give Shiloh and Alexis Estate Sales my highest recommendation!

My brother and I had been trying to figure out what to do with the house for months, and from the first time I met with them, I felt like we were in good hands. One of the things that initially made me feel comfortable choosing Sorted was knowing that they've been through this themselves. They've been in our shoes and understand how difficult and emotional it can be to go through a parent's home and belongings. That really came through in the way they approached everything. They were incredibly organized, responsive, thoughtful, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. What really stood out was how much care they showed toward my dad's belongings. They took the time to understand what might be meaningful to our family, found good homes for so many of his things, and made sure anything they thought we might want was put aside for us. It never felt like they were simply there to empty a house. They handled all the logistics, donations, coordination, and final clear-out, which took an enormous amount of stress off of us. When they were finished, the house was completely cleared and ready for us to move on to the next step. Amy and Felicia are also just genuinely wonderful people. They made a difficult process so much easier than I expected it to be, and I'm incredibly grateful we found them. They completely exceeded our expectations. I've already been recommending Sorted Estates to everyone I can, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend them to anyone dealing with an estate or family home.

You know what they say - you never forget for first! Luckily for me, my experience as a first time…read moreattendee to an estate sale was fantastic. I made plans to go one Terri's estate sales in Hillsborough sales taking place on a Friday. I called her Thursday night after normal working hours, around 8:00pm, and she answered right away. I explained that it would my first estate sale ever and she explained to me the process for her company. Everyone does things a little differently. Terri's sales usually start at 10am and she passes out sticky notes with numbers written on them at 9am. These stickies with the numbers act as the order people enter the house. Be warned, people usually start lining up way before 9am though! If you don't feel like calling Terri, everything you need to know about the sale is in the description on the website. Tells you where to wait in line, where to park, along with all of the I just mentioned above in this paragraph. If you know anything about Hillsborough, these people are very well off. If you didn't know about Hillsborough, now you do! You can def expect to find great things. Like any other estate sale, photos of mostly what's on sale is shown on the website. Of course in a house as big as the ones generally are in Hillsborough, it's impossible to get photos of everything. But Terri and her team do their best to capture most items in the description on the website, if not in all in the photos. Some treasures you just have to find there when you show up in person! What sets Terri's estate sales apart from others is that she has a lot of team members. Probably 15 or more if I have to guesstimate. She has a parking attendant to direct people where to park because some neighborhoods have specific rules about which sides of the road you can park on. Next, she has a security guard to manage how many people enter at a time. This is great if you don't like feeling crowded! Then, she staff to manage the jewelry section, kitchen, living room, master room, closet, office, etc. She also has people managing a holding station so that you can hold items you want to purchase at the front while you continue your shopping and she also has people packing your fragile items!!! Terri herself manages the pay station. People complain that Terri's pricing is on the high side, but look at how big her team is ! You shouldn't go in expecting garage sale prices. They do their research on the items and price it accordingly. I walked away with a Staub Dutch oven for 50% MSRP and it was like new! If you're on the fence about going to estate sales, start with Terri's! She friendly and the sales are so well organized. I look forward to her next sale!

I would like to take this opportunity to express my greatest appreciation to Kevin and the team…read morethrough the process of liquidating my parents' estate this past weekend. My parents were in the home for over 60 years and there were multiple surprises; the team separated those items for my review including items that had value and significance that were stashed away. My parents were merchants and in retirement had worked for a competitor estate sale company for over a decade where my father provided me with his (fatherly) advice to choose a compant with integrity. Kevin Black and his team showed integrity. The entire process took about six weeks where Kevin provided a balance between empathy and reality on execution of a successful sale in 2026. Kevin managed my expectations and the results were in line with his predictions. Kevin outlined what the strategy would be over the four-day sale and provided updates at each step. I see the critical success factors in this experience are as follows: Knowledge: A realistic approach on how to market and liquidate a large quantity and variety of goods in 21 hours over 4 days. Team: I was present for some of the preparation time and the team was extremely hard working and collaborative with one another to assemble and collate the merchandise for a coherent presentation. I feel like the team was there to maximize the return for the client. Marketing: Kevin is a master at marketing through all channels. For the items that could be challenging for effective sale over a weekend, he offered alternative solutions that I agreed to and was pleased with the results. Presentation: The initial opening of the sale, goods were effectively displayed and highlighted. Throughout the sale, as items sold, there was an executed strategy to bring the next items to the forefront. Communication: I wanted to give Kevin the space he needed to execute without being a high maintenance client and his updates put me at ease. As far as results, the proceeds were two times what I anticipated, no complaints from the neighbors, and the house was left in the condition promised. Kevin is the ultimate estate sale ringmaster from initiation to final clean-up.

Then I met Pete Banchieri from Alameda Estate Sales, and he completely changed my perspective. Pete took on one of the most challenging estate sales I've ever encountered. The home had been owned by the same family for more than 40 years, and it was filled with decades' worth of belongings. What impressed me most was Pete's incredible work ethic and attention to detail. He spent weeks carefully sorting valuables​, donations, ​selling certain things online, arranging for appropriate items to be auctioned, and researching historical documents and collectibles, organizing the contents, and thoughtfully preparing everything for the sale.​ Because I had the opportunity to visit the property several times throughout the process, I was able to see firsthand the amount of work, care, and professionalism Pete and his team brought to the job. I was genuinely blown away by the transformation and the level of effort they invested. Pete and his crew did an outstanding job from start to finish. They exceeded every expectation and completely changed my previous apprehension about the estate sale industry. I highly recommend Pete and Alameda Estate Sales, and I will absolutely be using them for all of my future estate sale needs.

It was awkward to watch and then- when I went to check out, it got worse. I went to the reg with 3 things in hand- 1 print marked $20, 1 tin marked $1, and an unmarked vintage tray. I asked about the tray- he quoted $10 bucks. Ok, cool. I asked if he would come down in price on the print- he snapped at me no. Ok, I said- I'll just go with these 2 things. He tallied things- gave me $10 for the tray as he said, and quoted $3 for the tin. I said "but it is marked $1" (which it was, in marker, on the bottom). He snapped "That's not MY dollar!"- as if I changed the price? WTF? So I said I'd skip the tin. I started to ask about some drawers he had in the house, and he blew his top and said the price is the price and that there is no haggling at estate sales. Well, Peter- not yours, for sure, but then post signage, please, as many of the other sales in town have CLEARLY STATED POLICIES posted. So I looked at him stunned by his blowup, and then started to change my mind about the tray- which he then yanked out of my hands and put behind the register, and then he IGNORED ME to snap at other people trying to pay. I stepped behind the other people to get back in line to purchase the tray because I DID like it and it is unique. Once he finished with the other people, he picked up the tray and the tin, shoved them at me and told me to take them and go away. I said I didn't want to not pay and again, he had moved on to other people. So I paid him via Venmo. And he looked surprised. You might treat people like shit, Peter, but I paid for what I purchased. If you hate dealing with people, and hate the business, maybe you shouldn't profit from the FAMILIES OF DEAD PEOPLE, PETER.
