I am pleased with how Laurie at EstateMax handled the estate sale. She was very responsive to my questions, and we communicated regularly throughout the process. I found Laurie to be both easy to work with and very professional. She sent me a video of how they staged the house for the sale, and I was very impressed with how it looked. If I ever need to have another estate sale done, I will hire Laurie again.

Overall the sale went great. Estate MAX set everything up, advertised, executed the sale and had my house spotless all within 3 days. I definitely would use EstateMAX again

EstateMax did an excellent job. They took care of every aspect of the estate sale and the subsequent removal of all unsold items. The sale was conducted on a Friday and Saturday. The following Tuesday the house was completely empty. They’re very good at what they do which allowed me to avoid all hassles involved in trying to arrange the emptying out of the house.

They came in & evaluated everything, felt there was plenty of stuff for a sale, advertised the Estate Sale, prepped for the sale and cleaned up from the sale. They SOLD what they could, DONATED what they couldn’t and CLEANED out and trashed what was trash. My sister & I were long distance and needed the HELP that Laurie and ESTATEMAX provided!! We paid upfront, but made some money on the Estate Sale…. It was a godsend! We just wanted our Mother’s things to have a new home – sold or donated – and the house emptied. It was a blessing!!

Working with Steve and Laurie was a very good experience. We would definitely hire them again due to their responsiveness, professional behavior, and attention to detail. Steve and Laurie paved the way for a stress-free move from selling a home. As it turned out, we sold our home earlier than expected and had to move quickly. Steve and Laurie adjusted their schedule to support us and made for a very successful sale of items and interaction. Thank you Steve and Laurie.

Laurie and Steve came to our family member’s home to help us liquidate his assets. I was able to reach Laurie directly on the phone, then she booked a time to come see the property promptly. They came up with an action plan, and got to work right away. We were impressed with the very quick turn around of the estate sale, and the amount of funds Estatemax was able to procure for our family. They did an excellent job! Reasonably priced, fast service, and quick pay out. Fantastic job!

Thank you [Member Name Removed], We appreciate your trust and business. We had to light the wood stove in the garage where we set up the collection of 300 die cast toy tractors sold in two days, dug out of every corner of the home and property. Also uncovered the safe in the basement with the coin collection, and organized all the furniture and household goods. Start to finish 10 days from our initial meeting.

Laurie and Steve were highly professional and did a great job of selling several items that we knew would be difficult to find buyers for. After some large furniture items did not sell during the weekend sale, in part due to poor weather, they suggested continuing the sale for another day, advertising the remaining items at rock-bottom prices, and most of the remaining inventory was then sold. We needed to dispose of the furniture somehow, so selling it at low cost was better than paying for it to be hauled away. Steve and Laurie listened to our request to do this. Their setup and signage at the sale was very professional. They clearly have tons of experience conducting estate sales, and they know how to manage the process.

I met with Laurie and Steve for an initial walk through of the property, then they took care of the rest,
which included posting videos on their websites and social media as well as Craig’s List ads before and
during the sale. They handled the entire set up, including disposing of items that wouldn’t sell. More than 350 people visited over the course of the two-day sale. They were able to sell art, tools, records/CDs and more.

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.

Very well. I was unable to empty the entIre home due to time but was allowed to place final personal
items behind locked room before sale began. I had expected better “broom sweep” which was in
contract at end of sale however any unsold items were removed and donated. Final clean up cost a bit more due to my husbands shop which included heavy equipment but it too was picked up. Payment was quick and donation forms were sent to me.
