My mother's estate was an extension of her and the care given to each and every item resonated deeply with me. The way everything was displayed was truly a work of art. A harder worker you'll NEVER find. A better estate company you will NEVER find and trust me I interviewed quite a few. Save yourself the trouble and the aggravation and give Maya (el jeffe) a call, you'll be glad you did.

I attended an estate sale on 5/9/26 in San Antonio, off Huebner/NW Military. When I arrived, the…read moreowner of About Face Estate Sales, Charles Keaton, was outside and said, "You better hurry up, Junior. We're closing soon." I replied, "Okay, buddy." I went inside and asked about buying some leftover books. He said, "For a reasonable price, not something like $10" -- which I wouldn't have offered anyway. Shortly after that, he thought it was a good idea to slap me on the back like we were best buds. Maybe he didn't like me throwing back his condescending demeanor outside. I went upstairs to look at the books and made an offer of $50 for everything. He immediately said, "That's way too low. That's way too low," then said that "she wouldn't accept that," which I assumed meant the homeowner or the person selling the contents of the house. He then said, "Yeah, she'd rather just donate them," which was fine. He also mentioned that she had a lot of money and acted like the books weren't worth his time unless they were making a killing off them. He didn't counter with a higher price to clear everything out or say something like, "If you buy X amount, we could give you a discount." Nothing. He just walked off. Don't say you make deals all the time if you have no intention of actually making a deal. Just say, "We're not accepting offers." What didn't make sense to me was why someone would rather donate the books instead of selling them and clearing them out. I already offer this service and also donate to various charities through my sales. It was apparent he didn't like negotiating, despite saying, "We make deals all the time." He just walked downstairs without saying something like, "Let me go ask the person who owns these books," or giving me any kind of update. A woman then came upstairs a couple of minutes later. She was either the homeowner, the owner of the books, or another staff member who had authority to negotiate, which didn't make sense since I thought Charles was the one I was dealing with. She was a little more reasonable when talking about prices. It's typically bad business practice to have the owner of the house/property being sold on the premises while the sale is going on. Many of the common books were exorbitantly overpriced, basically retirement pricing. It was obvious they weren't going to sell at $8 a pop for common books. I was basically doing them a favor by offering to buy everything. The way Charles went about negotiating and talking with me was really odd. I later went downstairs and could hear them upstairs discussing the deal I had worked out with the lady, if you could call it that. Charles said, "Yeah, we don't want to miss out on that $100," basically talking about how much they were going to make off me with their cut. The guy I interacted with, Charles Keaton, definitely needs to learn how to interact with customers and choose his words more carefully. He came across as tactless and unprofessional. I would never hire him or his company to handle an estate sale. Some estate sale companies seem to get the idea that just because they are selling someone else's possessions and putting price stickers on things, they can be condescending and unprofessional because the next person will just buy the items anyway. Charles, in particular, was by far the worst and most unprofessional person I've interacted with at an estate sale. I was also interested in buying some African wood art pieces in addition to the books, but Charles killed the deal over his pride. I've worked something out with several other estate sale companies, and it was always a win/win. First, know what you have, then go from there. Don't assume that just because there are a lot of common paperback and hardcover books, they're worth hundreds of dollars just because of whatever is written on the tacky little orange price labels stuck on every single spine. If they're leftover on the last day of the sale, they are most likely not worth anywhere near what you're asking, even at 50% off. And if you don't want to entertain offers, just say that and don't waste someone's time!

This company sets prices so outrageously high, that some buyers see a few and just leave without browsing. At a recent location, I saw items that were cheap promotional givaways, a plastic cup and some throwaway sunglasses, marked at $5.00 and $4.00 respectively. These were items that would have been in the "free" box at a garage sale, and I wouldn't have given a quarter. The lack of customers and the amount of overpriced items left in the home at the end of the second day of the sale made me wonder how the prices are set, and what the arrangement is for unsold items after the sale is concluded.

Based on my 15 minutes experience with them, the 2 ladies must be miserable and dreadful to be around all other times. I asked for an itemized price breakdown and the cashier raised her voice at me and told me the prices again. I politely asked her to not raise her voice at me and to stop treating me so rudely. She snatched the items out of my hand and said "these things are no longer for sale" and kicked me out. I then said "you guys really need to figure this estate sale thing out because you are all over the place and this whole thing is a mess and you're rude." Her hynena sidekick then chimed in and said, "why don't you just shut up and leave". STAY AWAY FROM THIS AWFUL GROUP OF WOMEN.
