I have recently had a wonderful experience with Two French Hens Estate Sales located in Antioch,…read moreIl. My brother passed away several months ago and, I needed during my grieving period I knew I needed help to dispose of his things. I had heard of Two French Hens Estate Sales through a close family member but I had no idea what to expect. I spoke with the owner of the business, Cindy Comins, who agreed to organize and perform a complete estate sale of the contents of my brother's home. She and her husband, Roger, worked for several months, beginning this past December, 2013, to sale time in February, 2014. They did a fantastic job, and not only sold almost everything in the house, including my brother's enormous digital pipe organ worth about $55,000 and his baby grand piano, but also kitchen items, comic books, trains, clothing, valuable art work, Stickley furniture, antique crystal and thousands of other items. Besides staging a four day sale in the dead of winter, they sold on ebay, Craig's list, auctions and personal advertisements. I owe Cindy and Roger my peace of mind during a very difficult time, and they even polished the floors and deep-cleaned the house prior to putting it up for sale. Due to their professionalism and attention to detail, when I put the house up for sale the day after the estale was over, I received a offer on the house on the first showing. I cannot say enough about these two wonderful people. They did a fantastic job and helped me move on with my life. They were super-kind as well. Please consider them if anyone is in need of an estate sale. All thumbs up!! Dianne Sproule

The Real Deal estate com dosen't even deserve one star …read more This estate sale company has the worst and most unprofessional employees. Very rude . On the last day of sale in Mt Prospect an extremely rude man made up a high price for items no where near that value to my niece . When she questioned him, he then proceeded to say he wouldn't sell anything to her and threw her out . She was devastated. The house was still full showing that they had no intention of selling more . Don't buy from such a terribly rude company. I would never let them sell anything for me.

I lost my phone at State Fair, and for a couple of weeks in great desperation I visited their lost…read moreand found every day so I know it wasn't there. They were sincerely trying to help me and looked through all the phones there (a lot ) every time I went in. You know how it is. You tell yourself you're going to back up those PICs and the information on all the people you need to stay in occasional connection with but you just don't realize how much you don't do this until you lose a phone. But the weeks turned into months and I gave up hoping I'd ever recover that phone and then 6 months later this nice fellow from Ford Bros. tracked me down by calling my contacts to return my phone! He gets abandoned phones in lots from places like municipal governments or whatever and before he sells any of them he goes through each of them to make sure they are clean and that is just unbelievable. Mine was in a lot he picked up from some town in Southeast Wisconsin so how it got there from State Fair is a mystery that will probably never be solved. He went through a lot of trouble to return my phone to me and then tried very hard to refuse my reward. Actually I'm not sure that he ever even cashed my cheque. That was Cole but I'm betting his brother is just as ethical. They have a Milwaukee location too, if you need to move antique, collectible goods or liquidate an estate you can bank on the honesty of this operation.

After 20+ years of estate sale shopping across Illinois, I can say without hesitation--Party of 5…read moreEstate Sale is in a league of their own. Fair pricing, clear organization, and a calm, enjoyable experience (which is rare in this world) make every sale worth showing up for. But what truly sets them apart is the heart behind it. This is a hardworking family, and it shows in the way they treat every home, every item, and every customer--with genuine respect. As someone with an average household, I appreciate being able to find beautiful, unique pieces at prices that actually make sense--without turning to big-box stores or paying for shipping. It feels good to support a business that values both people and sustainability. They're not just selling items--they're giving pre-loved pieces a second life and keeping them out of landfills. If you see their name on a sale, go. You won't regret it.

Working with The Estate Edit was a pleasure from start to finish. Molly was incredibly organized…read moreand communicative, which was especially important since I was coordinating both the estate sale and the sale of my parents' home from another state. She took care of everything, making sure my parents felt comfortable throughout the process. She was especially patient and kind with my mom, who was anxious and overwhelmed preparing to sell their home of nearly 50 years and most of their belongings.The Estate Edit not only advertised and sold several large-ticket items before the sale, but also staged everything beautifully. They even created an INCREDIBLE, customized video that highlighted the items for sale while celebrating the history of our family home--a special touch we'll never forget. During the sale weekend, Molly checked in with me daily to update me on what was selling. What could have been a stressful, emotional process turned out to be smooth, professional, and even more successful than I expected--we sold and earned more than I had hoped, and their services were worth every penny. I can't recommend The Estate Edit highly enough!

Do not trust these people. I bought a peace of furniture from them over the phone. They sent me an…read moreinvoice with absolutely no information on it other than the dollar amount. I then contacted them letting them know it didn't say anything about what I was purchasing. Then they just put ottoman. So I wrote them back stating that it was for a leather ottoman in very good condition. Which was what they told me. But neglected to put on the invoice. I then proceed to pay for it. I had a funny feeling at that point. Then I went to pick up my item a few days later. I had my doubts that it was leather at that point. I asked if they were sure it was leather again. They told me it was definitely leather. So I took them at their word. After loading the ottoman I took it to a leather furniture store in S. Barrington. He confirmed what I had thought. It was vinyl. I then proceeded to contact them. Thinking that maybe it was an oversight. Their reply was try to sell it on facebook marketplace. I did not tell them I wanted any money off. Nor did I tell them I wanted to return it. I just left the ball in their court. But me trying to sell it on marketplace is a joke. Thank god , I bought it with american express. I contacted them immediately. They issued me a refund. Pending an investigation. I will also be contacting the state's attorney's office. Due to the company's fraudulent representation. If you get screwed over by this company. I recommend you do the same. If you buy anything from this company be careful. They will tell you anything. To sell it to you. After looking at there reply.you can see that they are scammers. Nothing like we can meet at an expert to verify or please give us a call to rectify the situation. By the way the delay was because the invoice didn't state what I was getting. I can just imagine what would have happened if I didn't get clarification. Oh and by the way I wasn't even picking it up until the next day. So how was I trying to walk out with it without paying. Obviously just excuses from a scamming company. That got caught in there lies.
