We don’t know how this could have gone better. EstateMax was very punctual in the initial meeting and review. Everything was spelled out for us beforehand. The best part was we did not have to lift a finger…EstateMax handled every aspect of the estate sale. Throughout this whole process EstateMax was extremely professional and did all they said they would. We highly recommend them for this type of service.

Laurie and Steve were extremely knowledgeable and professional about their work. The two of them are a great complement to one another in regards to the estate and moving sale industry. Laurie really knows the market (what works, what doesn’t) and the value of goods and Steve is very organized and business focused. They really came through for us. They did all they could to meet every need we had, including a short time frame. We were more than pleased with the services of each and every member of Estate Max.

My parents’ house was full to the brim with items they couldn’t take to their new home. 5500 Square feet of 50 years of living! Just thinking about clearing it out was daunting. EstateMax came in and sold so much of it without us having to be involved. They price the items, advertise, and run the sale. Turning over the house to them was a relief. They also offer services to clear away what’s left and/or donate it. EstateMax is the way to go. They are professional and experienced and work to get the most people through the door to sell the most product.

I would highly recommend EstateMax to anyone needing to downsize, move, or sell off items from an Estate. My parents lived in their home for over 40 years and, as the Executor of their estate, I was very concerned on how to liquidate the tangible assets in the house and dispose of what was left. Steve and Laurie were outstanding in the assistance they provided. They knew exactly what had to be done and had the Estate Sale conducted in three days and then emptied the house of all items not sold. They came in a week prior to the sale and took professional photos of the items for sale so perspective customers could review them on line before coming to the sale. They capably handled everything and did not need us involved in any part of the sale. They came in and staged the home to maximize the sale and then disposed of the unwanted items for a minimal cost to the estate. They provided receipts for every item sold so there was no doubt what items sold and what didn’t. After the sale their team emptied the house so all we had to do was prepare it to put on the market. The whole process was very easy for us because they did everything. The loss of family members is always a difficult time and the services provided by EstateMax minimized the impact of this part of dealing with an Estate. My sincere appreciation to Laurie, Steve and the rest of their team in conducting this service with minimal to no impact on our family.

Laurie and her team were great to work with. The estate sale was
professionally managed and run well. Laurie was prompt in responding to questions. She was very helpful in arranging for the shipment of several items after the sale.Category: Auction Services

Everything went very well, I netted a profit greater than expected though everyone should realize that most owners value their “stuff” much higher than is real so don’t expect huge profits. Coming out in
the positive and having the house emptied for the renovation to begin was well worth it. EstateMax did a great job advertising and setting up the sale and seeing it through to the end! I would highly recommend them as professional estate sale professionals.

Laurie and Steve were professional and easy to work with. They were able to accommodate our request to move up the Estate Sale a week, when we found out we needed to move a week earlier.  They were able to sell everything for more than we expected. I contacted Laurie based on EstateMax’s glowing Angie’s list reviews. They lived up to their reputation. After exchanging emails, a phone call, and some pictures, she came out to look at what we had to sell. Laurie explained all of the services she provides and what the cost would be. She went over the details of the contract and left us a copy for us to look at in-depth. After answering several subsequent questions, we signed the contract and paid the upfront retainer. Laurie assured us that we had enough items of value to make a sale worthwhile. It turns out she was right. Because we did not have any experience with Estate Sales, Laurie advised us on what items would be sellable and which wouldn’t. At Laurie’s request, we provided preliminary pictures, so she could put one of the more valuable items for sale on the Internet. Laurie advertised our Sale on many websites including EstateMax’s own website and Facebook page, several Estate Sale sites, and Craig’s List. Because we ended up supplying so many good pictures, she didn’t come out two weeks before the sale to take pictures for posting online. Starting the Tuesday before the sale, Laurie and Steve came over to price all the items and display them. They are truly experts at pricing. Some items were sold for much more than we would have on our own. To address the concerns of the new home owners, they put down paper runners to protect the hardwood floors and carpet. Areas of the house that had no sale items were blocked off. The sale itself was from Friday to Sunday. As items were sold, Laurie and Steve rearranged the remaining items to improve their chance of sale. They ensured that people who bought heavy items had the means and expertise to remove them before the sale ended. After the sale, Laurie and Steve came back to the house to clean up and remove the few items that didn’t sell, so they could donate the items to charity for us. Laurie then wired us the proceeds of the sale.
