None of the antiques were cataloged and everything was a mess. We talked to several companies to help us and we were shocked to hear that they wanted 50% of the profits. They also wanted to charge us for movers. Patrick came in and packaged everything up, moved everything, took a very small percentage. We were very impressed with how everything was handled with kindness. He was extremely fair. I honestly believe that the universe sent him to our family. He's a good human and honest businessman. I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

I live here in Los Angeles and sent in photos of a very amazing painting I acquired. It was signed…read moreand appeared to be mid century or earlier. John Moran auctioneers (Bob Cullen) got back to me saying they too could not identify the artist but they were very interested in putting the painting in an upcoming auction. I was totally interested in consigning. It wasn't my first rodeo as I sell vintage and sold through Swann in NYC. Swann has handled individual prints for me but not a painting. So I was hoping to find a local auction house for the painting to avoid shipping it. Swann charges 15% commission. I was waiting to hear back from Moran as I was planning to drop the painting off. That is until I heard their fee would be 35% plus a $50 fee for photography. To me that is highway robbery. I reached out to Swann as, at that rate, I'd rather ship it to them.

I saw a really nice sofa that had a price tag of $50. I offered $20 but he said $25 but let me ask my client. His client accepted the offer, so I I was happy. But as I was going to pay, with money in hand all of a sudden he said never mind client declined offer. He really made me feel bad and embarrass. I don't think it is work ethic that this company accept offers and then last minute they decline it. He said to me after that his client wants $60 and in the sofas price tag it read $50. I would not recommend this company to appraise people homes. I will never be going back to any of their Estate Sales. I don't know his name but he was at Estate Sale 2340 S Dunswell Ave Hacienda Heights

First time getting a jewelry appraisal and left with more than I expected! Patrick was…read moreprofessional, detailed and created a learning session for my friends and I. Three of us went in to obtain a neutral appraisal for diamond studs we purchased from a questionable jeweler. For background, jeweler did not provide GIA certificates after multiple contact attempts. Patrick explained every step of the process and genuinely took his time to teach us and answer our questions. As suspected, the quality of our studs was not as expected. Patrick was helpful in providing guidance as to how to approach the jeweler. Given the urgency of our situation, he kindly provided finalized appraisals sooner than expected! Value of service absolutely exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Patrick! Looking forward to our next appraisal with our upgraded studs.

Penny has been absolutely great! After consulting with…read moreseveral estate sales agents, I learned that the standard charge is 40% and it takes up to four weeks to put on a professional estate sale. So no. I didn't get to use her expertise as our estate sales agent, but she gave us some great valuable information on putting on our own estate sales. I used the estate sales links she suggested and they brought in people from great distances. Our signage brought a great crowd too. BUT!!! I highly recommend --- DON'T DO IT YOURSELF!!!! I was pressed to remove the contents of my mother's home much sooner than a professional sales would complete a sale. Yet, I will never let this time pressure control the issue again! Penny's expertise expands all levels! She advertises. Completes signage. Provides adequate pricing. And knows about crowd management, which we came short handed at one point. She's knowledgable in antiques, vintage, jewelry, and coin. Through this personal experience, trying to dispose of my mother's estate, I confirmed Penny's estimates (which seemed low) on what to sell my mother's very high quality items, and yet I still didn't get that value. So, don't be disappointed that your loved ones antiques and such don't sell at your high expectations. People just aren't buying it!!! Penny also passed my impression as a good honest person. Who else would help out in so many ways? Hiring an estate sales person is worth the cost all the way!! So why not hire someone like Penny and Pig Estate Sales? HIRE PENNY!!!
