Moved from Wyoming OH to Springdale OH and used them to auction off belongings that were not being…read morekept. The auction earned only about $3,100 after commissions of 35% but the move cost nearly $6,500 which seemed very expensive for moving such a short distance into a two bedroom apartment, even with the settling in service. Friends of mine have done similar moves with settling in for much less cost. In the online auction, it seemed as though items were grouped together that were unrelated so this probably reduced the value of the lots. Also, they started everything at only $1 which also seemed to contribute to the low sale values. There have been several items that I was never able to find after the auction and move, including some gold jewelry, a Rookwood vase, my measuring cups, some of my pans, a box of cat toys, and other miscellaneous items. Things that I was able to find were often in odd places where I'd have never expected them to be put, like a gardening trowel found in a mixing bowl in the pantry.

Sequels Estate Sales solved a major problem for us, and they made it so easy and profitable we can…read morestill hardly believe it. The daunting task of completely emptying our home of more than 21 years of accumulated stuff had kept us from putting our home on the market for at least a year. Enter Tom and Penni Yanessa of Sequels Auctions who reassured us that the process could be relatively painless. All we had to do was identify and remove what we wanted to keep. They would do the rest -- sift through everything else, sort it, photograph it and list it for sale on their auction website. Considering the mountainous nature of what we left in that house, we were astounded at how well Tom and Penni were able to wade through it all and stage it for an effective auction. It WAS easy - for us, at least - and unbelievably lucrative. The final sale result hugely exceeded our expectations. We enthusiastically recommend Sequels Estate Sales if you need help turning stuff into money. Working with Tom and Penni was a complete pleasure.

I recently used Wade Estate to help clear out my parents' home. While the family who runs this…read morebusiness were very kind and personable, there were significant issues which, had I known about beforehand, would have caused me to go with another company. First, Ian toured the house and gave me a verbal quote for the "cleanout" after the sale. My family and I had already cleaned out much of the house, including all of the trash and personal items. This was definitely not like some of the packed houses I'm sure Ian has dealt with. When I got the final contract, the cleanout fee had increased significantly because I told him we would not be including my mom's gold jewelry in the sale. Ian tried repeatedly to get me to include it, and I kept telling him no. I agreed to the higher cleanout price, but in hindsight I realize this was classic "bait and switch." On the day of the sale, Ian already had two other sales being held simultaneously. Ian was never present at my parents' house at any point during our two day sale. It was clear to me that he was overbooked and not able to fully staff our sale. As an example, there were several items in the shed in the backyard that were never brought out or priced. Ian knew about the shed beforehand. I personally brought out some of the items on the first day of the sale and asked Ian's mom to price them. Also, there was only a tiny piece of tape indicating that the garage had items for sale. Most people never saw it. So, I took it upon myself to make a bigger sign and to sit in the garage so that people were aware of those items. Ian's mother actually tried to get me to leave, even going so far as to get Ian on the phone. She gave no other reason other than "some people get very upset seeing their loved ones' property being sold." I assured her multiple times that it actually was very comforting to me to see how much people were enjoying all the stuff. Eventually, Ian agreed to "let" me stay. (On my own parents' property!) On day 2 of the sale, two friends of Ian's came and bought multiple items in bulk. All of the books went to one very nice lady, and all of the furniture to another man. I have no way of knowing if they paid the stated price or got a "bulk deal." I am glad the things are gone, but it seemed suspicious. The house was fairly well cleaned out after the sale, but several items were left behind (items in dishwasher, items in garage, etc...) Messages I sent to Ian about these were not returned. In all, Ian and his family are personable and appear to be kind. They told me multiple times about their Christian faith. But it strikes me as not very "Christian" the way some of the sale was handled. Our family is dealing with significant grief and stress. Dad is going through the final stages of Alzheimer's disease. Thus, I was probably not as thorough as I normally would have been when setting up the contract terms with Ian. I'm sure this happens with a lot of the families Ian works with. In the end, we earned a "profit" of less than $400.00. This is from an estate that had many antiques, vintage costume jewelry, silver, Waterford crystal, quality furniture, etc. Did Wade Estate take advantage of us? I'll never know, but perhaps this review will help someone in the future to look further when searching for a company to help them in their own time of need.

The task of cleaning out the house and liquidating the contents seemed insurmountable and was only made more daunting by the fact I live out of state. Rosie immediately put me at ease and was reassuring, patient and transparent throughout the entire process from our first meeting to the final accounting. From the very beginning she explained the time and work that would be needed and this allowed us to set realistic expectations. It was, without a doubt, the absolute right decision for us. I simply couldn't afford to take who knows how much time off of work, travel to Ohio and go through everything myself - it would have taken me three times as long and not having the contacts that Rosie has I wouldn't have been nearly as successful - not to mention the stress and emotional toll this would have taken. The open communication was so appreciated and I never once felt like I was a bother. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Caring Transitions Cincinnati West and honestly don't know what I would have done without their help. It was a much needed relief during an already extremely stressful time. Thank you for everything and for treating my family home with such care and respect. I am so grateful!

BEWARE, especially if thinking of consigning to this business. I've known Joe Russell for many…read moreyears and spent lots of money buying from his auctions, and a few months ago I decided to consign a truckload of things, mostly small easily photographed and shipped. Filled out the paperwork with Nell and thought I'd get a copy of the consignment etc.. in the mail. That didn't happen, but I trusted them since I'd known them both for years and never had a bad experience on the buying side of things. I saw a few of my items listed for auction initially some doing well, but the company has the site set up so that when the item sells you can't see what it sold for, and can't bring up past auction results. Totally opaque and perfect for funny business. It's middle of July, have stopped at the building in Hamilton Ohio where I dropped things off, it's abandoned, and have called and left messages, no response. I'll file complaint with State of Ohio, but judging by other reviews, that will be to no avail since this type of thing has been going on for years. People and businesses scam all the time, especially when it comes to government money, so Joe is going about it all wrong, penny-ante hustler.
