Estate Sales Low Country

Wonderful job - - so glad we wroked with Paxem. We had to sell my parents' home of 56 years. So much 'stuff' to clear out and get the home ready to show. They tackled the basement and got the whole home staged. It sold in 5 days. They also took photographs of furniture - knowing what had value when we didn't - and knew how to find the niche market of buyers interested in mid-century furniture and decor. They brought in more money than we dreamed possible. Then cleaned out and got the home ready for closing. I just can't say enough about the tremendous job they did. Very satisfied!!

Recently hired Paxem to cleanout my mothers estate and had a wonderful experience with this team! Everybody was very friendly and helpful every step of the way. They were fast and efficient ...finishing ahead of schedule and under budget....couldn't be happier! I would highly recommend...A+++++

my wife and I recently went to one of Paxem's estate sales over the weekend and was very HAPPY with the help and prices .. Gayle was very patient and helpful when checking out with our large amount of items we bought .. thanks again Rob

these guys are the best at what they do no doubt about it , i never miss one of paxems sales fairest prices around Gayle, Craig & Eileen are the best always professional ,fair ,and friendly never had a bad experience .i would recommend highly , keep up the great work !

I had a superb experience with Paxem when they did an estate sale and subsequent total clean-out on my late mother's house in May 2015. Everything was first-class. From the initial consult at the house with Gayle Nudelman to the final paperwork, they were always efficient, professional, and savvy, as well as warm, understanding, and compassionate. They took a bazillion photos of my mother's massive lifetime accumulation and advertised the sale thoroughly. They did creative things like hosting a pre-sale jewelry party because my mom had so much costume jewelry. They communicated with me every step of the way. The sale was so successful (more than $10,000) that it paid for their commission and the clean-out, and still left more than $4,000 in profit for me. At my request, they provided me with an extremely detailed manifest of everything left over from the sale that they donated to charity. This is not only essential for my taxes, but is also now a lasting memento. Even though I had gone over the house on what I'd thought was inch by inch, Paxem found important family items that my mother had squirreled away in bizarre places. They packed everything up and sent it to me. I always felt they were treating my mother's stuff and my feelings with respect. And they know their business. I enthusiastically recommend Paxem to anyone who needs an estate sale and/or clean-out.

I appreciate Paxem all the more because they came to my rescue. I live 300 miles away and work full-time, so I had very limited ability to get to Chicago. Because of break-ins in my mom's neighborhood, I was desperate to get the house cleared out ASAP. I had already contacted four other firms before finding out about Paxem. They hadn't been on my radar because on Angie's List they were reviewed only for senior moves, not for estate sales. My original first choice, Organizing Options of Illinois, was beautifully responsive, but by the time I'd finished going through the house and was ready for the sale, they were booked up for two months. Three other firms were non-starters. Miss 50's didn't answer my initial email. Best By Far Estate Sales didn't answer either, and although after I phoned them they came for a consult, after seeing how knickknack-crammed the house was they were clearly uninterested. Life's Many Transitions scheduled a consult but had to cancel; I didn't mind that, but then they never answered my request to reschedule. After Organizing Options told me they were booked, in desperation I asked my realtor (the superb Nancy Perlman) if she knew anybody, and one of her colleagues suggested Paxem. The Paxem team totally understood my time constraints and flew into action. What a find! I can't imagine a better experience with anyone else.

"Gayle was such a godsend to work with in liquidating my mom’s estate today. She managed everything and was on top of all communications...even when our dreaded HOA set up unthinkable obstacles. I would highly recommend Gayle and Paxem to anyone looking to liquidate an estate of any size or value. She has options for every need and circumstance. Thank you for a job superbly well done!"

"I hired Gayle Nudelman of Paxem after she came to my home and explained the process.
She do everything that she promised to do in a professional, organized way while, at the same time, being very supportive of me and understanding of my needs.
She had an awesome staff who protected the property while maximizing the sales potential.
She is the best and I will recommend her to everyone I know who decided to have an estate sale in the future,"

"Gayle Nudelman and her Paxem team were outstanding - they treated my parents' home and contents with dignity and respect, and did as they promised: to help me clear out the house. Gayle's compassionate and professional approach to an overwhelming project made my life easier. I couldn't have done it without her. I can't share enough positive feedback about Gayle, Paxem, and the whole process. I highly recommend them."

"Gayle at Paxem conducted an Estate Sale at my father in law's house. Gayle was absolutely terrific to work with in every way. I interviewed and hired Gayle and she and her crew did an amazing job. Gayle knew the value of everything in the house and worked with collectors to maximize our profit before the public sale. She checked in with me several times to clear up any questions and make sure we were okay with what she was doing. She worked quickly and very, very hard.
In short, Gayle and her crew did a fantastic job and I recommend Gayle 100%."
