My Husband and I were at witts end trying to figure out how we were going to manage our move. We lived in our house in Ipswich for 35 years and the stress of getting out of our house And moving across country to live with our son was daunting. Ruthanne, Robert and her crew did an amazing job. Once they arrived on the scene everything seemed possible.Barbara and Craig Doyle, August 2023
I can’t thank you enough for all the work you did yesterday to prepare my house for the showing. It went way beyond estate sale preparation. You even cleaned my counter and stove tops, which was so sweet. Thanks a million!Tony Aazer, July 2023
We cannot say enough about Curious Cat Estate Sales. Ruthanne is amazing as well as herNiki and Dave Price, June 2023
trusted team. She’s truly gifted and talented. From the pricing, staging and her guidance left us
feeling completely at ease during such a stressful time. CT, Andover. She is professional, reliable
and dedicated. She will get the maximum amount for your items and understands the business
100%. You’ll be lucky to book her….and do it early!
Curious Cat Estate Sales is a highly professional organization and so easy and pleasant to work with during what can be an emotional time in your life. We found them to be very efficient, working tirelessly to create a fantastic environment around the sale. Advertising was terrific and their advice was invaluable. Thank you Ruthanne and Robert!Christine Rothman, June 2023
On very short notice Curious Cat Estate Sales recently ran an estate sale for us. The sale was a large one with many items to ticket and display. Ruthanne and her team did a phenomenal job in their preparation for what turned into an event with over 700 buyers attending.Annemarie & Jim, November 2022
The minute I met you you jumped right out to me. I had met with three other estate sale companies. Once I met you I was sold. And then I met Rose and the rest of your crew all of whom were amazing to me. You helped me every step of the way moving to my new home in NH. I just recommended you to a friend of mine. Again, thank you, you were great!Chuck Garlington, North Reading, 2022
Curious Cat Estate Sales is wonderful and Ruthanne is incredible! They listen, they understand and in the end did everything they said they would do. You cannot find a better Estate Sale company then the Curious Cat. I recommend her and her team enthusiastically.Nancy, Andover, 2022
You guys are amazing! My husband and I moved out of our home and Ruthanne and her company came in and did the rest. Very professionally run estate sale......as a business owner myself I really appreciated all of the time and personal service my husband and I were given. I would not hesitate to recommend Curious Cat Estate Sales to anyone.Debbie, Andover, 2022
Ruthanne and her crew, including Rose and Robert, did an incredible job. My husband and I were very stressed out with our move out of state. Covid had thrown our plans out of whack but they put everything together and managed a very successful sale. We could not have been happier as we made our move.Jerry and Stacy, North Andover, 8/2020
I have been a real estate agent for 35 years. I owned a very high-end property in Andover but it was time to downsize. I had always been very curious about estate sales but had my concerns. After meeting Ruthanne from Curious Cat Estate Sales I was immediately put at ease to the point that I trusted her with all of the possessions in my home. Every expectation I had was met or exceeded. My husband and I were thrilled with the professionalism and the financial outcome which very much exceeded our expectations. Ruthanne will go over the top with her time and personal attention. We both highly recommend her and her company.....Fabulous!Kathy T. , Andover Country Club, 9/2020
We had a very tight window due to the sale of our house and we needed a lot of help. Ruthanne came in and organized our home efficiently and with purpose. We had a very successful sale and are now in Florida. Thank You Ruthanne and the Curious Cat Estate Sales!Cynthia & Sheldon Fine, 12/2020
We were very unsure as to what we were going to keep and what might be sold. Ruthanne and her team were very flexible and amendable to our demands. On the day of the sale we had a surprise snow storm and we were away. Robert took care of everything, shoveling and salting so that our sale went off without a hitch. Ruthanne was professional and clearly cared about our home and did everything to make for a successful sale. As a longtime business man/owner of several Dunkin Donuts establishments, I can vouch for this excellent company. I recommend Curious Cat Estate Sales wholeheartedly.Marvin Weiner (Dunkin Donuts), Wilmington Ma., 2021
"Ruthanne and her team handle themselves professionally in this time of Covid. They were very sensitive to the needs of the people and were clearly very competent Estate Sales Agents. This work has escalated in need, has evolved in complexities while trying to match client needs and wishes; and has been challenged by the current pandemic. Ruthanne is a standout!"Stephen Landzilla Boston Area Toy Collectors Club, 2021
We had to liquidate the contents of 2 homes. A summer home in Maine and our primary home in Reading Ma. After interviewing Estate Sale companies in Maine the top company in the area recommended that we look at Curious Cat in the area of our primary home. We had an immense amount of property to liquidate so finding the correct company was crucial. Ruthanne and her staff (especially Rose and Robert) designed a unique plan which spanned several weeks with some sales by appointment and some traditional sales, all of which were held according to Covid rules. While the moves were very emotional my son and I realized after it was all over we could not have had a better company care for our needs. In particular, Ruthanne was very amenable to changes in our plans as the house was on the market at the same time. We recommend Curious Cat enthusiastically.M. Deangelo, Reading, Jan 2021
Ruthanne from Curious Cat was so supportive and was instrumental in organizing a very successful sale and helping us to downsize with the help of her fabulous team. Many thanks!!Susan Stiles Smits, North Andover October 2018
Moving out of state was going to be a nightmare. I found Ruthanne's company online and gave her a call. Due to restrictions on my home in Lincoln we could not do an estate sale. Ruthanne told me to just take what I wanted and she would handle the rest. Amazingly that is what she did. She did a great job in a difficult situation.Frank, (August-September, 2018)
I had already chosen another estate sale company and when I was notified that company could not meet my dates Curious Cat was recommended. Ruthanne worked out a great sale in our large home in Concord. Very personalized service with a wonderful and thoughtful staff!Ainslee M. Concord (July 2018)
My husband and I were very happy with Curious Cat Estate Sale. We had no idea of the amount of work it would be to move out of our house. With the help of Ruth the process was a lot easier.V & E, Chelmsford (July 2018)
Fantastic company! I don't know what my wife and I would have done without Ruthanne and her amazing band of angels. My wife and I were able to destress and at the same time make our closing date.Mary and Larry Nobrega Burlington, August 2018
Speaking as a Realtor, if you have a client ready to make a move, have them call Ruthanne Zanti at Curious Cat Estate Sales and Home Liquidations to advise them as to the best way to handle their move. You will be very happily surprised at the results.Kirk Clarke (June 2-18)
Nicest folks I have ever dealt with at an Estate Sale!Glenn Forsythe
I would like to highly recommend Ruthanne Zanti, owner of Curious CatJune Fitzgerald, Winchester. November 2017
Sales. Ruth was recommended to us on short notice when our realtors
wanted to get our houses on the market within a few weeks. Ruth was
friendly, professional, organized and very easy to work with, under
which were stressful times for us. Always a phone call if she was
detained for an appointment. Ruth had an excellent assistant who
also worked above and beyond. You will be very satisfied with Ruth’s
efficiency, knowledge and attention to detail.
I highly recommend, Ruthanne is amazing!Carol C. Chelmsford
I recently had the pleasure of attending an estate sale conducted by Curious Cat. The sale was extremely well organized and the pricing was very fair. The organizers were very polite and helpful - they were able to provide information about the various antiques and furnishings. One of the pieces of furniture I purchased was too large for my SUV, so Robert and Ruth arranged for its delivery to my home. I attend a lot of estate sales and this was one of the best run sales I have been to in the Boston area. I will certainly be looking for additional sales run by Curious Cat.Donna Palmer, Swampscott, June 2017
We don't like you....we LOVE you!!! But there is no love button!!! Thank you soooo much for all you did for us!!!!Dolly Filosi
As a realtor it's important to have a strong book of referrals that I can rely on to meet my clients needs. I never know going into a property what a customer may need, sometimes it's light staging, sometimes it's cleaning out, sometimes it requires an estate sale. I have recommended and referred Ruthanne to several of my clients and they have all been overjoyed with her service and professionalism and work ethic. I myself have had her help on a family home and can tell you firsthand that without her knowledge, organizational skills and crew we would never have been able to get our home ready to sell. I have complete confidence in Ruthanne and her crew and when I recommend her to a client I know they are going to feel the same way.Cathy Paolillo, Century 21, Commonwealth
I met Ruthanne and Robert yesterday at an Estate Sale they were hosting in North Reading. This was an incredible sale! There was an entire woodworker’s workshop for sale—well cared for machinery and all the bells and whistles. (kudos to the owner Leo M.). This collection was epic with many high-end machines. A friend and I were looking to acquire machinery to build a business of our own. The pricing was fair and we bundled many items and found the negotiating process very friendly and a lot of fun. We spent the entire day there and managed to come away with a high value collection for a fair price. The folks running this sale knew a lot about the value and function of all the items which allowed us to be more informed. They helped to dismantle some of the machines and even helped move them out. The friendly banter made the day an absolute treat. I would strongly recommend Curious Cat Estate Sales. In fact, they are a class act in every way. Hope to run into you guy again.Sejal S. and Andrea D., (Outhouse LLC) Jamaica Plains
Downsizing and disposing of my deceased aunt’s collection of antiques was not easy but after you showed up to help, things went smoothly. Thank you for understanding that it wasn’t just about selling things. You were kind and understanding and very knowledgeable. Your recommendations proved to be exactly what were needed. It was the perfect blend of kindness and direction. I appreciate it!Sheryl Walsh Wilmington Ma
I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for all of your thoughtfulness and for your marvelous organization and support all the way to the finish line.Ann Allen, Boston Ma
I had no idea what would be involved in moving from my home after 30 years. Ruthanne was amazing putting me at ease the very first hour we met. She sat me down and listened to my needs; we then made a plan for what needed to be done, considered alternatives, and developed a project schedule. She was a wealth of information and always knew whom to contact and what was reasonable. She spent time getting to know me and never hesitated giving me her best advice, even when I did not always want to hear it. I could not imagine making this move without her by my side. I trust her like a friend and would recommend her highly.Joanne Demers, North Reading, Ma.
