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!!!

I also began attending many of the sales they run because they are always well marketed and thoughtfully executed. Both Kyle and Kari are incredibly knowledgeable, each bringing their own areas of expertise. Together, they have a deep understanding of a wide range of items and are exceptionally well suited to maximize the value of an estate. They also operate with a high level of integrity and run a very tight ship, which I have always appreciated. In all the business we have done together over the years, I have only had positive experiences and would absolutely recommend them. They consistently go above and beyond for their clients, which is something you do not see often.

From the presale communication with Brian to the organization of the sale itself, everything was handled professionally and transparently. Brian was fair with pricing and even shared gallery receipts for some art pieces at the point of sale, which we appreciated. The whole team made the buying process comfortable--no pressure and very well organized. A special thank you to Marissa, who helped tag all our items and made sure everything was ready for pickup when our moving truck arrived (on two separate days!). She even helped protect and pack items to prevent damage. Overall, Brian and his team were wonderful to work with. They were professional, patient and knowledgeable. We'll definitely be keeping an eye out for their future estate sales!

I went to an estate sale on 7/21/18. While there were definitely some good deals, I was shocked to…read morefind the Novotny manager (blonde woman 50-ish), whom I will call "Maria," to be obnoxious, argumentative, and hostile with customers. So startling to find someone trying to sell to people, who doesn't actually like people! I don't know if she was stressed, or just doesn't usually work with the public. I think Novotny would do well to keep Maria behind the scenes in administrative details, and to have other people with better customer service skills deal directly with customers. I asked her where the restroom was. She said there was no restroom we could use. Seems to me if you want people to shop for a long time, you would let them use the restroom. Later, I asked her where we could try on clothes. She said there was no place we could try on clothes. Keep in mind there was a huge amount of clothing there. No trying on?. I defied her, and tried them on in a restroom anyway. I was planning to contact this company and let them know how horrid Maria was. I went back to the sale the next day. I asked her if she was the owner of the company. She said yes. So you see, her name is Maria Novotny. I think anyone considering Novotny Estate Sales to liquidate their homes should consider that they will sell more, and people will shop longer, if they feel someone is nice to them. So I think Novotny is leaving a lot of money on the table, they're not selling as well as they could, specifically because of Maria. I think Maria was just making up prices off the top of her head. She charged drastically different priced for the same items, My friend bought two cloth baseball hats for $2 each - but Maria charged another man $4 each, who had been in line and seen my friend pay $2. The man said she had charged the other guy $2 each She refused to give him the lower price. My friend and I both were glad to leave. Maybe I will send the company an email about her after all. Maria is definitely not in the right line of work. Or at least in the wrong job in her line of work. She would do better as the manager who stays in the office.

My sister and I recently hired Hughes Estate Sales in Altadena to liquidate my Uncles' beautiful…read morehome in Los Angeles, after he and his spouse died. It was full of gorgeous collections of mercury glass, majolica, fine art work and paintings and other unique and beautiful items collected over a 60 year life span together. We chose Hughes after the painful process of going through the loss of our loved ones, researching different estate sales companies and ways of selling everything. It was a painful process to say the least. And we knew we couldn't handle it ourselves. It was too huge an undertaking, and with so many beautiful things we were very aware of the possible value they could bring. We also had a limited time as the house had already sold. One of our Uncle's prized possessions was a 1964 Morgan in beautiful and original mint condition. Hughes sent us their Vehicle Specialist Sam Alam. Sam was exceptionally helpful, polite, and incredibly knowledgeable about collector cars. He had it carefully towed to his mechanic who knows and works on such cars, to see what it needed and advised us on how to proceed. Fortunately it needed very little but advised us it was worth doing. So we did whatever he suggested. Others showed interest in it, but did not want to pay what it was worth. Dealing with such cars, especially if you know little about them, you can get easily taken advantage of. We did not regret it. It was sold very quickly and at top dollar even with the commission he got. We had researched it ourselves and knew what it might be worth, but didn't know if we could get it, or how to find an appropriate buyer. Sam took care of all of that for us, and working with him was pleasurable, easy and efficient. We had total confidence in him. We highly recommend Hughes Estate Sales for the often painful job of liquidating any home, especially if there are valuable collectibles. They have an amazing research team for pricing valuables. It was a very painful process for us, and we learned that you will not get the full value for everything, because they have to liquidate quickly and whatever doesn't sell the first day, the prices get cut in half. Special items may be sent to auction or put in their showroom and may not be sold as quickly. But we were happy with the results for the most part. It was hard to learn that certain antiques that had great value at one time, had lost much of their value, because things go in and out of fashion. Our other choice would have been to ship everything up to San Francisco, find a large storage unit, and sell on eBay for the rest of our lives. That was not worth it for us. But if you have a special vehicle, Sam Alam is your man.

It looks great in my friends tattoo studio it was my bday gift to her. I love Estate Sales, but I hate that more and more people are finding out that they exist so don't be surprised if you go to a sale and when they first open, there are 50 people in line when they first open. They do get people in the door quick and they have a system that works so I come back when I can get out there. Tip: get there early. Another negative learning experience and this is with all companies out There is no companies allow big purses so just bring your wallet and a cell phone. Makes sense though. Looking forward to more treasure hunting, every sale is different and my house decor is so unique, my friends are always asking. Where did you get this? Where did you get that. Good vibes, thanks!
