I cannot praise her kindness, patience and constant professionalism during this stressful transition. She sold our family car, jewelry, family heirlooms, furniture, antiques and many house hold items. She was available for moving items and her organization was impeccable. She was available from start to finish. Hiring Shahla was a true blessing. I recommend her 100%. She is wonderful.

My husband and I were hesitant to have someone else sell our house goods, however Shahla proved to be the best person we could have chosen to get the job done. Shahla strategically created a plan that effectively allowed us to earn more than we had anticipated. At this time, we were in the process of downsizing into a smaller home which left us with a bunch of furniture we did not need. Fortunately, we found the best professional to help us sell all the large items that we would no longer need such as art paintings, living room set, bedroom set, dinning set and much more. Furthermore, Shahla showed up at the door with her crew ready to work. I have to say that through the whole process, she went beyond her call of duty to help us during a difficult process. Having an expert by our side made moving a much easier transition, so do yourself a favor, call Shahla!!! She knows what she is doing!

James and Nicole provided white glove service through the entirety of the process. They are the real estate equivalents of Goldman Sachs or McKinsey - highly strategic in their advice while also being exceptionally detail oriented and organized. All the while, they maintained a customer-centric approach that was both personal and professional. They understood our needs and were truly partners throughout the process - never married to a single approach, just the one that made sense for us. From start to finish across two transactions, there was never anything too big for them to handle or too small for them to address. We truly value their partnership, professionalism, and work product. Highly recommend to everyone - especially busy people with a high bar!

I've walked up and down Fillmore daily and never walked into Warren until this past weekend. I saw…read morein the window a few interesting things and had no idea there was a thrift estate sake store here still. I saw a really cute littke Snoopy figure in the window and went in to ask about it. I stood in front of the salesperson who was behind a counter on a phone or just distracted and I said hello. I asked about the Snoopy in the window. He told me it was $50. I asked if I could see it. He told me I would need to buy it to see it. What kind of store does that? Apparently this store that I won't be buying a Snoopy at. Ugh. There's so much random stuff in this store that I don't understand it at all. Unpolished silver, used vintage silk tops with armpit stains, hats, art to decorate your oldest living relative's house...and a Fender Knock off guitar in the window selling for $450, but worth less than $60.

Julia's Helping Hands (Julia in particular) saved us. My Aunt was downsizing from an 5000 sf. house…read moreto a 1900 sf. house and had several things that needed to happen. From identifying and facilitating antique furniture to be sold, to helping us with art sales, to identifying what needed to go to an estate sale v. what needed to be donated or hauled - Julia and her team handled it all. She is unflappable and has a very positive attitude. She is also practical yet empathetic which is a good combination during such a stressful process. Julia had all the resources and facilitated the entire process. I would recommend Julia for any job, big or small - she is a miracle worker.

She is a lovely lady and is easy to work with--and she knows the value of antiques! We hired her, and Julia and her crew spent a matter of days transforming our home into a little store--all items were categorized by his, hers, toys, and even holiday items. Everything was placed with care and consideration. Julia advertised our sale online, and she also has a large group of regulars who come to all her estate sales, so our home was solidly filled with people for two days. It was a great turnout, and we sold almost everything. My only gripe would be that some of our items were stolen during our sale. I feel this happened because there weren't enough helpers working in each room. It's a well-known fact that people attend estate sales to steal, and an estate sale service needs to have a person in "every" room, monitoring the people who come and go. It is also important to only have one entrance/exit. The people at our sale could easily come in the front door and exit out the open garage (which also had no one watching it), or the side alley. So, in closing, Julia is great. Just make sure to ask up front how many people will be working your sale and who will be monitoring the small items that can be easily placed in pockets and stolen.

Another factor in selecting Rainmaker was Yao Li's diligent preparation and planning of the pre-sale process. She is awesome! Leading up to the on-market listing, Alex was super clear and explicit on what will happen and how to prepare. He also provided thoughtful advice on what listing price to select in order to attract the most buyers. We were able to go on-market, do showings, send out disclosures, and request offers in no time. Alex's support extended to a great conversation on the pros/cons of each offer, which led us to being under contract very quickly. In the end, Rainmaker Real Estate was awesome to work with. Alex and Yao provided a great product with *ZERO* drama, which is what we wanted. We will use them again, if we are in the market to purchase something in the MTV/Los Altos area.
