When having paintings framed by Lee Heckman (also recommend) we discussed family heirlooms and…read moreitems purchased from antique or so called antique dealers. I thought it would be nice to have an awareness of value. There is that adage, something is only worth what another is willing to pay, but had hoped to be able to have a more intelligent conversation about items. Lee Heckman recommended Kurt Shaw and for a reasonable fee Mr. Shaw worked quickly to review and provide an On Site Discovery Form. In addition Mr. Shaw provided a list of a variety of dealers, auction houses and clean out companies. At times it can feel like one more task to organize and present questions to any professional but Mr. Shaw made it easy. Great Experience!

Dave Barone came out to our house to give us some tips before putting our home on the market. He…read morealso guided us in establishing our asking price. In a matter of 30 mins walking through the house, he gave us many suggestions that were "low cost/no cost" to make our home show as well as possible. We spent several days implementing all of his suggestions, and our house sold in one day over asking! Dave really knows this business and he's a great guy to work with as well! Highly recommend!

Wife and I currently live in Syosset, NY and are looking for a house in Pittsburgh, PA…read more We found the perfect house and got nat Barone's name from our engineer. Nat's company is Barone & Sons Inc Appraisers. I spoke with Nat directly for about 45 minutes on the phone. He was very nice and extremely helpful. Nat told me from the info he gathered talking to me that I should save my money and not bother with an appraisal as it would come in much lower than the sale price. And since my wife and I already knew that and were ok with that there was no point in doing an extensive expensive appraisal . At least not at this point. Nat said that if I buy the house and when I go to grieve the taxes then it would be worth getting an appraisal done. Nat is truly a great guy and a great business man. He has earned my trust and all future business. If you need a top notch appraiser for your house in pittsburgh then go to Barone and sons. You will not be sorry you picked them.

We've attended five estate sales run by Action Estate Sales. Every single time, we have been…read moretreated SO RUDELY!! "Badgered" would be a more suitable term. Twice I've taken a clearly marked item through the register and they've increased the price once I've stood in line and am ready to check out. Additionally, the items are always grossly overpriced so, even if they go half off, they're not worth the return trip. Yesterday was our final trip (Allison Park) to anything remotely linked to Action Estate Sales. They need a lesson in manners and common courtesy to patrons. Never again.

Friendly, professional, honest and hardworking. Really appreciated the upfront work they did on researching item values and setting good prices. They also proved their marketing skills, as our sale had a long line outside on Day 1. Also appreciated how they continued to move items around and highlight different items to help merchandise them over the two day sale. Ultimately, our net proceeds were much higher than expected and we owe this to the team at Action Estate Sales PGH. Our family is very happy we chose them for this project. We highly recommend them.
