Cannot recommend Lori and Michelle enough! Temporarily moved back to Long Beach to help my mom downsize and we were overwhelmed by the amount of things, especially heavy and older antiques in our house. We were preparing to smash everything and higher a massive dumpster, which would have cost us hours and thousands of dollars. Found Lori here and she answered my call and came the next day to check everything out. We were in a gated community so it made selling more difficult, but happily took us on. While it was not a traditional estate sell, she used all of her contacts to stop by and priced everything. She made sure only trusted people came into our house, waited at the gate to make sure they were okay, and made sure to negotiate all of the prices for us. Not only is she well connected in the community, but Lori is extremely understanding. She is happy to work as quickly or as slowly as you need and so helpful with parents who are not as happy to see her coming. With my mother not being as understanding of the process, Lori was open and there with anything we needed. She accommodated the odd hours we worked and having to make sure she was not in the house during certain time periods. We tried to sell a few things on Facebook Marketplace and it was a nightmare, Lori had someone who took a bulk of our things for one price and helped to haul out trash as well. She truly has a person for everything and had no hesitation in calling them same day and getting someone out in less than an hour. Every time that I had questions about the smallest things, I received an immediate call from Lori. No matter what time of day she was always on top of it and happy to connect with you. Finding someone to work through a tough HOA community and with heavy furniture, I was super nervous that no one would take us on. I could not have been able to tackle moving my aging mother had I not had Lori and Michelle and I cannot say enough good things about the two of them. I did not meet with their team, but their deep extensive knowledge and understanding was everything. read more

Lori and her team were FANTASTIC! From the get-go her enthusiasm and excitement for the huge collection of artworks created by my parents was truly refreshing and heart-warming. She and her colleagues did an amazing job sorting, organizing and marketing the house full of "stuff" packed into every nook and cranny. A truly amazing job, I could not have imagined how this house, owned and occupied for over 50 years, could be so well organized and everything in it sold. Even after the sale Lori saw to it to donate anything left and then hire a cleanup crew to get rid of the the junk remaining as I had to move to a different state 2500 miles away. She took care of EVERYTHING. I would highly and hugely recommend Pickers R Us for your Estate Sale and clear-out needs. read more

Losing parents is tough. Having to deal with a funeral, then the burial, and then all the paperwork to settle their estate, is rough. But what about all the stuff they leave behind? Who wants Dad's shot-glass collection? I don't have time to sort/itemize/sell everything. Do you? Just finished my SECOND estate sale with Lori and her team. The sale was incredibly organized, properly advertised and run like a well-oiled machine. She has a number of repeat buyers who come to her sales regularly to see what treasures and deals they can find. Lori is part life coach, grief counselor and drill sergeant. She tells you what to do (and not do) to prepare for the sale, and gives excellent pointers along the way. "Don't throw out that paint can - someone might buy it!" She tells you what is valuable in the house, what items may be worth keeping, and what to sell and why. Coming from a family of hoarders, it made sense to me why Lori and her team would not want to see customers perpetuate the pattern of moving family memorabilia (and junk) from a loved one's garage to your own garage. "If the stuff was sitting in his garage for more than 20 years, why move it to your garage for another 20 years? Let it go!" Thank you Lori and Pickers R Us for holding my hand through such a difficult time. Twice. You made a challenging task a LOT easier. read more

Pickers R Us did such a fantastic job on our house. After our mom had passed, we had decided we needed to sell our family home. My brother and I had an impossible task to clear out our family home of 50 years so we could sell it. My parents had collected so much "stuff" in their lifetime, and we had all kinds of old camera equipment, electronics, jewelry making supplies. Lori and Michelle were truly a godsend. They sorted through all our "clutter" and found enough to have a decent Estate Sale! They knew who to contact for the "odd items" we thought no one would want. Afterwards, they cleared out our house completely so we could list it! They truly saved us through a stressful and emotional time. I recommend them every chance I get. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Pickers R Us. My brothers and I were overwhelmed by the amount of stuff in our father's condo and had no idea where to start. We had begun sorting things, trying to figure out what to sell, donate, throw away, etc. Lori came in and immediately put us at ease saying, "You're done. We'll take care of everything." And that's exactly what they did. Lori and her team meticulously researched the value of the items and earned way more than we would have on our own. We opted to pay her guys to clear out everything that remained after the sale. Their price was more than fair and they left the place spotless. Our dad was in children's publishing and had many hundreds (possibly thousands) of kids' books both in his condo and in an off-site storage space. Lori felt very strongly about making sure they didn't end up in a landfill. As I write this, she is driving around to children's hospitals donating all the books that didn't sell. She is a true gem and we are so grateful to her. read more

Lori and her team did an amazing job with the Estate Sale on my mother's house of 60 years. They were knowledgeable of the value of things, were very organized and well networked. We had hundreds of dolls that they were able to sell, along with many household and vintage items. They had the remaining items donated to a charity and cleared out the house, so it was ready to pass on to the new owners. I highly recommend PickersRUs. Thank you Lori and team! read more

Hello everyone, I just wanted to leave a review about Lori and her team. They truly are AMAZING at everything they do!!! I appreciate how thoughtful they are with every client and their belongings that they have been hired to liquidate. Ive been to many Estate Sales by other companies in my time and I do not get that same feeling with them as I do with Lori and her team. They really have the best intentions when it comes to the family and their wishes. If you have a loved one that should pass or unfortunately pass PickersRus is the company you need to contact. They will make sure your familys possessions are handled with extreme care. And in this crazy Covid19 time we are living in ive noticed Lori and her team are following all the necessary steps to insure not only her team is safe but everyone, client and customers are safe with masks, keeping 6feet apart further proof she and her team are taking this seriously but also know that life has to continue and people need her assistance. So if you are thinking about attending one of her sales or possibly thinking of hiring her to help liquidate an Estate you wont be disappointed. From start to finish Lori and her team will give nothing less than 100% read more

We needed to empty my uncle's house quickly to get it in shape to list. At 95, he had a lifetime of stuff crammed into his home. Most of it looked like junk to me, and I'm grateful our realtor put us in touch with Lori. She took an overwhelming task out of our hands, which was the primary benefit to us. There wasn't much money in all of that stuff, but I'm confident Lori got us a fair price and her connections and know-how allowed us to exceed what we would have gotten on our own. She moved up her timeline to accommodate us and pulled the sale together quickly. She was honest and down-to-earth. She gave us good advice and when she found something she thought we might want, she set it aside for us. Her communication is excellent, which was particularly important because we are not local. The price to clean out the items that didn't sell was reasonable. After we went through the house to remove personal and sentimental items, we waited for Lori and her team to work their magic and 10 days later we had a completely empty house and a check on the way. I recommend them without hesitation. read more

We have been going to Pickers R Us sales for a few years now. I appreciate the emails we receive alerting us to upcoming sales. The photos are great, too. I don't like the dealer/resell presale thing going on, though. We buy for ourselves and would likely pay more than the resellers but we are often not called/alerted until after the resellers Ha e already picked over the good items. I am also not cool with the sign up sheet thing. Signing up in line and being allowed to enter when it's your turn is silly. Look, we have other things to do than wait to shop at your sale. Hire more staff but don't make good customers wait. Lastly, Lori needs to learn how to be a little more gracious to those that are buttering her bread. Other than this, PRU is doing an ok job. - Prices are a little high, but as long as negotiating is still an option we're all good. read more

We contacted Lori when we had limited time to clean out all of my father's belongings after he passed away. I originally thought I was going to hold the estate sale on my own until I met with Lori and she explained everything that Pickers R Us does as a full service provider. Not only was Lori able to connect with experts to price all of my father's collections and tools, but her whole team came in and set up the entire sale and knew exactly who to call to bring in to review my father's treasures. Pickers R Us treated my family's home and possessions with respect and they also were extremely sensitive to the fact that our family was still in mourning. What a great all around business to have help us during such a stressful time. Even after Pickers R Us was paid their portion, Lori and her team were able to earn our family more money than I ever would have brought in on my own. We would have definitely gotten ripped off! I can't thank Pickers R Us enough for the empty house and the not so empty bank account. Thank you! read more

We selected Lori for our estate sale after viewing her heartfelt video and meeting her in person. She was transparent, knowledgeable and fun. It is evident she enjoys what she is doing and has the connections & resources for anything requiring expertise (a book appraiser, etc.). We had rare finds we didn't even know about such as an old music poster that sold for over $200. She is honest, forthcoming and responsive. She booked a junk guy who didn't clear out all remaining items as planned, but Lori profusely apologized and said she wouldn't use him again. I recommend PickersRUs to anyone needing a professional estate seller. read more

Estate sale in Corona today, was very nicely presented with things set out ahead of time on tables (it was advertised with photos online days ago) but nothing was priced! Very inconvenient. I noticed about 5-6 employees working there, but only one person in the whole sale could give prices?? So I had to stand waiting for her to price me out in the garage. Pickers R Us, did you know you had St. John dresses in the closet? (they were well hidden and I don't know if that was intentional or not by this company) One lady looked surprised to see them. That's the stuff you should have priced and set out....Well, the main lady never had the time to help me so another woman quoted me a low price on some candlesticks and a glass platter in my frustration so I could be on my way. I frequent estate sales weekly because I resell, so I'm no dummy as to how this works. My personal opinion is that a company who doesn't price their items is a little shady and not only takes advantage of the customer but also the client they work for (usually the very elderly or bereaved). I hope that's not the case here. Unfortunately I won't be back because it is a waste of my time. read more

Wow! My parents were packrats/savers and their house and garage were VERY full of tons of stuff of all types big and small, and my siblings and I were faced with a quite daunting task of how to disposed of it all and end up with a completely empty house so that we could get it on the market quickly. Enter Lori and PickersRUs! They responded to my call immediately, did a quick walk through of the house and gave us 3 simple instructions (1. remove all personal items or items we wanted to keep, 2. don't throw anything out just because we didn't think it was worth anything (this turned out to be great advise because a number of items I would have just thrown out ended up selling), 3. leave everything in place as they would handle moving things around and organizing them for the sale (this was quite a relief to hear because much of what was there was quite randomly placed throughout the house and garage)). Within a few days Lori and her team came in and did some preliminary setup, their website listing of the sale was extremely comprehensive with tons of pictures, and within 2 weeks the sale took place, a lot more stuff was sold than if my siblings and I had tried to do this ourselves, and we ended up realizing more than we had anticipated (although the primary purpose of the sale was to empty the house and make sure that as much stuff as possible didn't end up in a landfill). We had chosen the option to have PickerRUs dispose of everything that remained in the house, which they did through a combination of charitable donations to charities that would pick things up (those charities are few and far between these days), giving leftovers to someone who would haul them away at no cost (if you've ever priced a "junk" haulaway, you know that having things hauled away for free is a great deal), and arranging for a dumpster into which they loaded everything that still remained. So we ended up with a COMPLETELY EMPTY HOUSE! I can't imagine doing this any other way. read more

I do not recommend them. Lori, the woman who runs the company is extremely rude and disrespectful. She is erratic in her pricing depending on who the customer is. I've heard from other shoppers that she cherry picks the best items from the estate prior to the sale. On a positive note - the other staff members are helpful and pleasant. read more

Pickers R Us did a great job on the estate sale we had. Lori came over to my mother's house in Culver City well in advance of the sale and clearly explained the entire process to us. She took pictures of most of the items being sold and posted them on her website. She has a lengthy mailing list and she did a super job of publicizing the event. She priced all items in advance of the sale and her crew was very professional. She also arranged to have unsold items removed from the house at a very reasonable price.

I have never used or have been to an estate sale before, recently I had the daunting to clear my parents house as they were going to be moving in with me. They had a lot of stuff but after meeting with Lori she said that it would only take 3 days and her team will take care of everything, all I needed to do was pick out all the things we wanted to keep and put them inside a single room. Lori only took 1-2 days before the sale to organize all the stuff in the house for the sale, I was honestly shocked even though she told me ahead of time that she was fast I just thought it was something people say but the whole house looked different and everything was organized. The sale took place over a course of 3 days (Fri-Sunday) and to my surprise there were a lot of people that came. Approximately 75% of the stuff sold, there were some things that didn't sell but overall I was surprised about all the stuff that did sell. We made a decent amount of money, and if we were to have donated or throw away the stuff in the house it would have cost us more money than what we made. I recommend Lori and her team if you ever need to do an estate sale, she's very up front and honest so she'll tell you right away at the first meeting what to expect. read more

A big shout out to Lori! We hen we realized our mom could not return home after a hospital stay and would not be coming home we knew it was time to sell her house. She had lived in her home over 60 years so you could imagine how much one collects over those years. Our awesome realtor Andrea Testa suggested we do an estate sale before we put the house on the market. We were so glad we did. Not knowing the value or worth of items we would be in way over our heads for sure. Lori displayed the house in a way we could not imagine! It was a total success and what was left was magically taken away for us. It's so emotional going through this process with a loved one and this totally took the burden off of us watching our moms things going out the door along with the memories. And if that was not enough ,Lori also sent us a Covid test since you can't find one anywhere so we could go visit our mom in the skilled facility she is at. Thank you Lori Cerasoli! read more

Lori and her team did a wonderful job handling an Estate Sale for our family. We had so many items to sell from high end to low. It was all setup so efficiently and effectively. Lori handles her business professionally but also adds a personal touch, which makes you feel at ease. She responded immediately to all my inquires and kept me updated on the progress. The hoarding/treasures are now gone and the house can finally breath as so can we : ) Thank you Pickers R Us! read more

We appreciated how well Lori with Pickers R Us communicated with us throughout the estate sale process. It was a painful process for our family but she was sensitive to our loss. She also treated our family home carefully and with respect. The sale went well and we received our payment promptly. We were very pleased with the service she provided. read more

Lori and Michelle at Pickers R Us are the best in the business!! We have been shopping their estate sales for several years now and they never stop impressing. They are always friendly and professional and always have their clients best interest in mind, often to our chagrin.

My daughter and I spent most of Saturday at Lori and her staff's sale in the Palisades. They were fantastic. My daughter is trying to furnish a new apartment and Lori was so helpful and the prices were great. We will definitely be following them and going to their future sales. We highly recommend them. read more

I am extremely impressed with Pickers R Us! I had to clean out my mother's house, sell what we could and empty out the rest, so I interviewed a couple companies, and they looked around with their noses in the air and then told me how much they were going to cost, and it sounded like I was going to end up owing them money by the time they cleared out everything. Finally I found Lori at Pickers R Us, and she looked around and saw all the hidden collectibles, and crazy stuff and she was excited to get started. She also gave me a great estimate to clear out everything that was unsellable. Lori took the time to find buyers for specialty items before the sale even began. She had connections to buy the craziest stuff imaginable. By the end of the sale we made a TON of money! And she continued to look for special buyers for items that were worth more than what she could have gotten at the sale. She really went out of her way to do the best job possible. And her staff was courteous and sensitive to the sentimental bits. I would highly recommend her to everybody. She was a joy to work with!!! read more

By far one of the best estate sale companies I have ever encountered. Lori and her staff are both gracious and go out of their way to create a cool, intricate atmosphere for the shoppers. It's always much more enjoyable to go rummaging for a treasure rather than finding one that is readily available. Just love picking! Would refer Pickers R Us to anyone in need of estate sale services without hesitation. read more

Lori and Michelle are very easy to work with and extremely professional. They go out of their way to meet your needs and answer all your questions. As a buyer, we appreciate that they need to get the best price for their client, but they also understand that they need to be fair to the buyers. They are friendly, gracious and understanding of any questions, concerns and needs. I would highly recommend then to anyone who needs help with an estate sale! read more

Never having had an estate sale before, I had no idea what was involved, but Lori guided me every step of the way and it turned out so much better than I had ever anticipated. Lori, Michelle and all her wonderful staff made it so easy for me and explained everything and did everything. All I had to do was pick out what I wanted to keep and left the rest to Pickers R Us. Can't imagine having anyone do as fantastic a job as Lori and her staff. Moving is always a daunting task, but Pickers certainly made this part easy and profitable for me. Thanks to Lori and all the other great people at Pickers. read more

Lori, Michelle, and staff are always friendly. Lori knows how to price to sell. I always enjoy a sale where every pencil doesn't have a price tag! Diggers rule! read more
