He is truthful and though you may want to be charmed more- he gives an honest estimation of what items will bring when you consign. He is rarely proved wrong.

Joe Hogan charged us $700 to empty the house, promised we would receive a percentage of what he retained for auction, and then never answered any of the emails or phone calls we sent to inquire about his "deal" with us. Unfortunately, the so-called "contract" he gave us is not worth the paper it is on. Make sure that you have a legally defensible document if you do business with him. His behavior is criminal, but he's been at the job of ripping off people long enough that he's very adept at it. This guy's bad news and should be taken to court. We would have done so if we had known more about how he operates. Be forewarned.

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!!

In the end, he recommended an online auction that drew 8 potential buyers, and after their careful work in showing the property and generating interest in the auction, the house sold for about 25% more than I expected it to. I would not hesitate to use them again, and would highly recommend them.

It has been two days since that review and there have been some very disturbing developments. The relative who utilized this company's services received a call from a paralegal at a law firm that represents this company, confronting them about my "scathing" review. This relative did not know that I had posted a review, nor did Steve Dance Auctions or the paralegal at the law firm know that I was related to someone who had utilized their services. My relative called Steve of Steve Dance Auctions to discuss what had happened at the auction two days ago, and my alleged "scathing" review. Steve, who had previously expressed an easy going personality, was now bordering hostility and refused to discuss anything. Steve expressed to my relative that he had offered them a "favor" and that their business doings together were over. It is unknown what this "favor" is, as my relative hired and paid this company to perform a task as agreed to a signed contract. In summary, Steve Dance Auctions does not provide a professional service in the field of estate auctioning. If this company discovers that you have any issues with how they run their business they will have their hired legal representatives contact you directly in an intimidating manner and deny any wrongdoing. I strongly do not recommend this company and have contacted the BBB in regards to this ongoing issue.

To make matters worse, they're the only one in the area offering that particular type of service that they supposedly offer, but they were awful: incompetent, aggressively unpleasant, unfairly antagonizing - and I did nothing to deserve it. The person I spoke with just had an attitude problem and apparently is just used to people not noticing, or cow-towing. All I did was try to schedule an appointment and meet them for said appointment. I had to reschedule the initial appointment for a very good, health-related reason, and after that, she was just awful. We it took a week and a half to reschedule the appointment and when we did that, she had a very difficult attitude. And, like all people who have bad attitudes or personality problems, when the person on the receiving end of their off behavior tries to request that the attitude simmer down so they can just move forward to the business at hand pleasantly, the person just gets more agitated at them - blaming the person on the receiving end as though they were somehow a cause of it. We did reschedule for a week and a half out, but when the appointment day came, she up. And a whole lot of phone back-and-forth , characterized by her, trying to blame me for everything making excuses for herself by blaming me, and then when I tried to rebuff that and I don't know where you're getting this from but I'm just trying to schedule an appointment with you and we did so and now I'm on a timeline so what do we do about it instead of trying to fix it she just said that she thought I was too angry and difficult to deal with. She interrupted me, talked over me, didn't hear anything I said, didn't listen to anything I said, and just didn't want to go forward with me, even though I had done nothing to deserve this. So, at that point, I just hung up. Now, I'm stuck without the assitance I need and it's awful. I'll figure something out because I'm resourceful and have friends and other avenues of things. I can probably do to make it work well enough in . Barely, but I think I can pull it off. But the point is, I don't need that kind of hassle. Nobody does. So, anyone out there who might be considering this company, do your own diligence, but to whatever extent my experience can help inform you in a way that my spare you a bunch of needless stress and wasted time, I'm putting it out there as a help, from one consumer to another. Evidently, they might have some clients that got what they needed, but I don't personally understand how because my expectations were so basic and they did not even meet them. They could not engage in the most basic courteous business behavior to accomplish scheduling and following through with an appointment. And blamed me for their misgivings. The most awful part about is the this cater to a clientele that are in great stress at the time that they come to these companies for . And they know this why in this the named transitions. But there was nothing caring about any of this.Deal with them at your own risk.

I have never dealt with a company that charges so much for shipping and then a handling fee on top of that and then takes a percentage of the cost of the item (which is passed on to the customer), and then refuses to follow through with a refund. This is a terrible franchise so unless you want another job, doing half of Kelsey's, I suggest you never give these people any money.
