S&H Estate Sales & Service, LLC

I usually like to stay under the radar, but I have to write a glowing review for S&H Estate Sales.

I bought an old house where 4 generations lived. I intended to clear it out into dumpsters, but the stuff in there was too cool. And I’m a history junkie, so I could not physically do it.

I called the “main” Auction house I had heard of and was basically told to go chuck it all except for a few things they’d sell for me. Watch out!

Then, my friend and worker recommended S&H, because he follows their sales. I spoke to Melissa. They came over, and the rest is history. They handled EVERYTHING, and there was essentially nothing I had to do except collect a nice check at the end.

Best of all worlds, because S&H artistically created a market for this stuff. So in the end, I got paid with an absolutely blow-out sale, and this old, wonderful family with no next of kin got dignity too, as their stuff went to those who were most appreciative of it. So I highly recommend S&H.

Just wanted to reach out and thank you again for the professional service you provided.  My fathers death was sudden, and I was so impressed with the way you jumped right in and handled the sale.  Without a doubt I would recommend you, and your staff, to anyone looking for real people that care and have pride in their work.

So many Positive things I would love to share about you folks!!!

I was fortunate to learn about S&H Estate Sales & Service several years ago when Melissa and her staff handled my sister-in-law's sale. Now that it was my turn to downsize, there was no doubt in my mind to have S&H handle my sale, as well. They do a tremendous job of displaying and pricing all the items and conduct a well-run organized event. My sale was a big success due to S&H's reputation. Don't hesitate to enlist their services...but plan ahead. Their professionalism is in high demand. Continued success in all your endeavors, Melissa.

Absolutely love your sales they are so organized, clean, and employees are friendly and know what they are doing. This is not your first rodeo lol. Always look for your sales

Can't say enough as to how awesome the S&H Estate Sales & Service, LLC team is. Not only do they organize an amazing sale, they also help get anything left, cleaned out. Thank you, thank you, S&H!

I must say, I go to a lot of these sales and you are really polite, quick with communication and friendly. Very refreshing. I was the guy who was first in line to this sale last week. So kudos to you!

I would highly recommend S&H Estate Sales. Melissa and her people have done a great job with 2 sales. It was hard letting some of the things go, but I knew it was best.

Thank you very much--successful sale! If I'm ever in a position to recommend your services, I will certainly do so!

When you lose someone you love, that is so hard by itself, but then you have years of "Treasures" and that becomes overwhelming!
That is where Melissa of S&H Estate Sales steps in and makes your life so much easier. Melissa and her staff, organize, display and price everything, it takes the burden away! They run the sales, are very professional and clean up when they are done. Walking into a house that was FULL and now it is empty, I felt I could actually breathe again.
I can't thank Melissa and her staff enough for taking that burden away from me.
Sincerely,

I thank God for Melissa and her crew. S&H went beyond what I expected and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend S&H to anyone. Thank you for ALL that you've done and are still doing.

I was referred to S & H Estates Sales when my older brother died in another state right before Christmas. I wasn't sure how I would handle getting rid of
a lifetime of acquired possessions. Melissa and her crew were life savers. They took over and handled everything. They came to his house and sorted and
priced and made all those difficult decisions for me. Then they proceeded to have a very successful two day sale. After that they emptied out what was left
and the house ready to show.
I was impressed with them every step of the way and would highly recommend their professional service.

Sincerely,

Melissa, thank you SO much for doing a terrific job for me! Your expertise and professionalism were much appreciated! Continued good luck in the Future and I will definitely recommend you when I can!! Thanks 😊 Much!!

Melissa and her crew are fantastic! Her prices are affordable, well organized sales everytime and everyone is so kind and helpful. I give her 10 gold stars.

Dear Melissa and the S&H Crew,
Thank you for making our first estate sale experience so pleasant. You did such a great job with setting everything up and communicating with us along the way. We appreciate all your hard work. Thank you for making it a success!

Hi Melissa, We wanted to send you a note, now that the dust has settled, to let you know how much we appreciated everything you & your staff have done. As we were working through a difficult time your level of response and communication to walk us through the process was outstanding. Though overwhelmed and not knowing what to expect, we were super pleased by the results of your handling the estate sale. Your level of follow-up from beginning to end helped to simplify what was a confusing time for us. We deeply appreciate what it is that you do and what your company offers the community. Thank you,

Always love coming to your Estate Sales, never a disappointment. Staff is always so friendly and helpful. Prices are fair and love half off days!

Melissa:
Thank you so much for the care and handling of the estate sale for our parents' home. You quickly responded to our questions, were flexible and patient to meet our family needs; also you and your staff were respectful to the property. You were fair and honest with your fees. We would not hesitate to recommend you to others. The success of the sale exceeded our expectations even during the difficult time of having to limit people during Covid-19. You have a great following and it is easy to see why.

Melissa,
Just wanted to thank you and your staff for the awesome and professional job on the estate sale for my mom and John. Your expertise and kind words got us thru a difficult time in clearing out the remaining items at the house after my moms unfortunate fall. It was amazing to see the process and hard work you and your staff did prior to and after the sale. All my worries went away. I can’t thank you enough for helping us thru this transition. I will highly recommend your company to anyone who is in need of the wonderful service you provide.

Best regards.

Dear Melissa,

Thanks so much for your help with Dad's place, it means a lot.

Melissa,
Just a note to thank you for the wonderful job you and your staff did for my mother's estate sale October 2020. After 42 years in her home, the thought of cleaning out and then selling was awesome. S&H Estate Sales was recommended to us and we quickly set up a meeting with Melissa. She was professional and confident and made my mom and our family feel secure with her assessment of the sale. Mom moved out and S&H moved in to begin the job of sorting and getting ready for the sale. Even though the town mom lives in decided to lay cement sidewalks across the street the day of the sale, the sale went on and people came! (Great Advertising!) Once done with the sale, Melissa actually worked ASAP to meet a new (earlier) closing date to clean out the house. I cannot thank S&H (and especially Melissa) for the great job! Mom's move was less stressful thanks to S&H's team. Thanks again,

A BIG "Thank You" for the wonderful job you did with my sale! I am so grateful and you were more than fair for me. I will gladly recommend your service to anyone. God bless you and your business. Sincerely,

Hello Melissa - Just a quick note to thank you for taking such great care of my Mom's house/estate sale in early October, 2020. I recognize the level of work and coordination that is required for you to put together a house sale such as this, and I am in awe of your efficient & professional process. I also appreciate the flexibility that you afforded us prior to the sale while we were amid moving Mom from her house to her new apartment. Additionally, I want to thank you for your honest, fair, and compassionate approach when determining the final settlement for Mom’s sale. This reflects well on yourself and your business! I would whole heartedly recommend your services to anyone who needs to conduct an estate sale in the Stateline area. Thanks again.

Updated Testimonial:
We had the pleasure of working with Melissa in April, 2017. I did not realize how lucky we were until I began working with a company in Illinois for an estate sale at my mother-in-law's house. I am quickly realizing not all companies are as honest and professional as Melissa. Thank you again Melissa.

Hi. I just wanted to say what a great sale it (Verona) was. You were very well-organized and prices were very good. I just wish I had been there the first day. Another thing I want to mention, because it is so important, is that staff were friendly and helpful. There are some companies in this area where the staff doesn't seem to have the time or inclination to be nice to customers, and, believe me, we notice that.

Thank you!

You always do a great job and signage is fantastic!

Melissa does a very professional job with her estate sales. Her staff is also very helpful.

"When my aunt had to move from her home of 40+ years into an Assisted Living Home, we were very fortunate to find Melissa Hubbard, owner of S & H Estates Sales, to help with the sorting through & selling of a house full of 90 years of memories.

Melissa came and met with us, thoroughly explaining how she and her team would organize and conduct the sale. She was very mindful and considerate of how emotional this was for my aunt having to sell the majority of her belongings.

Melissa & her team did a great job. We were totally satisfied with the results of the sale and would recommend S&H Estate Sales without hesitation. Melissa, you were a life saver. Thank you for all your hard work."

Customer Testimonial: You have "Very Nice" sales!!

Customer Testimonial:

This is one of the best executed estate sales I have ever seen!!

February 2, 2018

My aunt and uncle built their home in Janesville in the early 1980's. My aunt passed away October 2017 and we moved my uncle to assisted living in Milwaukee in November. As you can imagine, there was a lot to take care of during an emotional time.

The house was sold and we interviewed for an estate sale. We decided Melissa Hubbard, owner of S&H Estate Sales and Service, was who we would contract with. She was competitive in her pricing for services and we felt she would do the best job for us. She was also mindful and acknowledged the emotional side of the situation. Clearing out almost 40 years in a home and 96 years of memories!

Melissa was a great communicator during the process and it was a pleasure working with her during a difficult time. We were totally satisfied with the sale and the results. I would recommend S&H without reservation. We are pleased 100%!

Sincerely,

When I decided to go with an estate sale for my dad's house I did a search on line. Of the websites I looked at, yours was the one that I was drawn to. Reading the testimonials of past clients and the look of your website sold me!

I want to thank you again for the hard work you and your crew did in preparing for and conducting the estate sale for us. Every contact I had with you was courteous, friendly and professional. It really shows that you enjoy what you do.

Thank you again for a great job!

Our mom passed away recently, and we needed to empty her home. She had been in this house for 34 years, and there were many things to sort and sell. Melissa was extremely helpful in this process. She explained the estate sale schedule and procedure clearly, and was able to help us with a two-day sale. There were things which we thought should be disposed of, but she knew that they had value and guided us in those decisions. Melissa spent lots of time sorting, arranging, selling, and cleaning up the property. When she was finished, the house was neat and ready for buyers. Melissa gave a prompt accounting of the sale and the check came quickly. She and her staff were very hard-working
and efficient, and she was available for questions as well as sensitive to our feelings. We were very satisfied with S & H Estate Sales and Melissa.

Recently we had Melissa and her gang manage my Mother In Law's estate sale. MIL was a hoarder! Boy was she! Anyway, Melissa conducted sales on three weekends. She was very professional and documented all sales. We were really impressed with her attention to detail and her prices were spot on. We Highly Recommend Melissa and her gang for any estate sales that anyone would need. I can say with confidence that you will be pleasantly surprised at the end of the sale.

April, 2017
When we sold our family cottage with many years of accumulation, we contacted Melissa for help in clearing out the house and shed before closing. From our first consultation through receiving the check at the end Melissa was professional, knowledgeable, reasonable and exceptionally hard working. She and her crew are very nice people with whom we enjoyed working. Thank you Melissa.

My elderly parents entered assisted living in March and we needed to sell their home as quickly as possible. We were referred to Melissa Hubbard through our realtor, Julie. My parents’ house sold within a week and we needed to get the home cleaned out and ready for closing.
Melissa worked with us to get the estate sale scheduled as soon as possible as time was limited. She is very professional, knowledgeable and proficient in what she does. She had limited time to prepare for the sale and did a great job.
We would highly recommend Melissa to anyone who is looking for someone to assist them regarding an estate sale.

Melissa’s expertise, hard work, and good sense of humor was such a pleasure! She managed our two-day sale, consulted us with questions, or curiosity (every good piece has a story!) without ever breaking stride. A lot of hard work went into the sale, including some brutal, hot days in our garage sorting and pricing.

The sale was a real success! We were very happy not to be allowed on the premises so that our stuff could find a new home with no second thoughts from us.The sale follow-up was prompt, all items were accounted for, and included a check. Meeting Melissa was rewarding and a lot of fun. We hope this is our LAST sale, but one never knows! She would certainly be our only choice to run it if there is a next time.

When mom moved to assisted living, we needed help clearing out an entire house. We saw Melissa's online add for S&H Estate Sales and decided to give her a call. She was very thorough when going over the contract, and eager to answer all our questions. She worked very hard to complete the set-up and pricing as per our agreement. If there was a questionable item of family value that we missed during our weeks of sorting, Melissa was very thoughtful to let us know.

The 3 day sale was a huge success and the house looks great. Our check was in the mail following a very timely clean-up. She's such a hard worker!!

If the need should arise for us to move and "scale down" in the future, it would be our pleasure to work with Melissa again.
