That brochure is wonderful! You guys have done such a nice job of setting up the house.
Everything looks so much more appealing than I thought possible. Thank you again for
all that you did. My brother and sister and I could not have accomplished what you did.
You made this process much easier.

Thanks for your assistance with her estate sale and in making mom’s transition comfortable. She was very pleased with how you staged the house. We will definitely recommend you in the future.

Hi Linda and Richard ~

I always love your sales and it was so nice to come out to the lake
this weekend. I wanted to let you know how much I love the 1948
Singer sewing machine. (In case you had any doubts!) Would it be
possible to pass a message to the family? I’d like them to know how
much it meant to me to find that machine, and that I feel honored to
have it. I can tell it was really well loved and cared for, and was a
prized sewing machine. I grew up with a machine just like it and
learned how to sew on a big, black electrified Singer sewing machine.
My mom used it to sew all of our Halloween costumes, school projects
and summer clothes, and she swears by her machine to this day. I know
what solid pieces of machinery these old Singer’s are. Please let the
family know their mom’s/grandma’s Singer went to someone who is really
going to really love this machine, take good care of it, and put it to
use. If I went looking for a machine just like it, I could have spent
6 months trying to find it and not been able to. I know how hard
transitions can be for the families you work with and I just want them
to know I’m honored to have the sewing machine.

I appreciate your sales and all the hard work you do for families
going through transitions. Always looking forward to your next event!

Linda,

I want to thank you, Richard, and Margaret so much for holding the sale and for all the hard work you did setting it up.

Thanks again.

     And most welcome of all, they took care of all the leftovers; donating useable items to charities or simply disposing of the remainder. Estate Mates helped us make the transition as painless as possible. If you are in the need of such a team, you need to call Estate Mates!

Dear Linda, Margaret, and Richard,

Thank you again for all your hard work in organizing and running the estate sale for my mother’s home. I was amazed at how quickly you were able to set everything up. You obviously knew what you were doing. I also appreciate the research you did to determine the value of older items and even going to the jewelry store to purchase a battery for an old watch.

And, after the sale, the house was clean and, best of all, vacant! I would certainly recommend you to anyone who needs these services.

WHOOOOOSH! That is the sound of me being blown away by the impressive work from Estate Mates.

What a remarkably efficient team–they sorted, tagged, and sold thousands of items in a mere week. Best of all, as a result of their labors, I ended up making more than twice what I had expected. I’m happy to recommend them.

Thank you, Estate Mates!

I highly recommend using Estate Mates for your estate sale.  Linda and her partner, Margaret Scott, are highly professional and organized and delivered great results for a living estate sale for my mother, Liz Carpenter. 

From the get-go, they approached the sale with tremendous energy and efficiency.  They were willing to take on packing and storage needs as well as the normal sale activities.  This flexibility and can-do spirit was an absolute God-send. 

Linda, Margaret and her husband Richard were a joy to work with and were totally dependable.  I highly recommend them.

Best,

Christy
