Girlfriends Estate Sales INC

We first met with Jenifer and she was great. Becky was so helpful getting me the correct info and all the staff at our house were pleasant ,efficient and friendly. Off course we would have liked to have sold everything,but that isn't realistic. We were pleased with the outcome. Cascade clean out did our after sale clean out and we highly recommend them.

to me

Wonderful!

Thank you so much for all the great work your team did for us. I am amazed at how much is gone. You must have a great following out there. Your team is wonderful. Friendly, respectful, hard working. Jennifer was very helpful in answering all our questions, scheduling, and letting us know what was happening. All the folks that came to sort and price were very friendly and answered all our questions. They did a great job setting up. We walked in the first day after set up and were amazed at how nice it looked. Some rooms looked even better than before the sorting and set up. Plus, they were very respectful of us staying in the house until the sale and left our bed free of items and areas in the kitchen free so we could at least do a bit of cooking and cleaning. I was especially happy they left the area by my coffee pot free of items!

Brian is a gem. His patience with all our pricing questions and dealing with our concerns is admirable. Plus he is just very friendly and knowledgeable.

And wow, when we come home after the sale, which went on way past noon on Saturday (thank you), we were so extremely surprised and very happy that so much was gone but mostly on how clean and neat you left the house. All the leftover items were neatly put along the sides of the rooms or on the left-over furniture and the rooms were swept or vacuumed. Helene was still here sweeping the garage (it hasn’t looked that good since we moved in) and then despite our telling her she could leave and we would finish cleanup, she insisted on staying to finish the two upstairs rooms.

For an event that is emotionally difficult, your team made it very easy. Thank you very much!

Your extremely overjoyed and satisfied customers,

Karen and Barry

If you ever need a reference, we would be happy to sing your praises.

Interactions were always professional & courteous. We already have passed your number onto our Probate law firm

12/1/2018 Absolutely the best experience! Brian ran our sale and it went so smoothly. In addition to selling EVERYTHING in two days, the found a valuable item and notified us immediately. They brought in double the amount of money I had expected. The house was left very clean and all items were picked up before the end of the second day. Trustworthy, organized and they really know what they are doing.

Hi Becky, Thank you for all your efforts. You & staff really helped us move closer to our goal. Please relay our gratitude to Relita, Barbra, Eric, & Brian. We have already recommended you to a couple of other people who might be downsizing in the near future. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving & Mahalo plenty,

Starting with the initial consultation Jenifer was impressive. She wrote down information, worked with us to guide us through the process of the estate sale and we felt very comfortable with her from the start. All our interactions were professional especially Jenifer and Brian! The rest of the staff were awesome! I really enjoyed each person. You not only met our expectations, but exceeded in every way beyond our wildest dreams. We will recommend you. We were amazed when the crew vacuumed the house!
Thank you!

I used Girlfriends for a sale of my Godfather estate on November 1,2 and 3. He had a lot of vintage furniture that he had collected over the years. Although I live in Miami and the sale was in Seattle, the folks from Girlfriends were very accessible and helpful. They went the extra mile to sort and organized and keep me informed as to how the sale was going. They even added an extra day because of the amount of things that were there. They also hired a company to take away and clean the house of the things that were not sold. They distributed all they money with complete integrity. I highly recommend them.

From the start Brian did an excellent job of introducing us to the process, Setting expectations and communicating plans

I used Girlfriends for a sale of my sister's belongings in September. My sister had a lot of stuff she had collected over the years and the folks from Girlfriends, in addition to being accessible and patient, went the extra mile to sort and organize so that we were able to maximize the sale results. Very nice people who work hard and charge a reasonable fee for all the services that they perform.

You guys did a great job & moved a huge amount of inventory. You worked with us with little space to stage and having a live in family member.

Excellent communications with staff & crew throughout. I was astounded at the speed and quality of the work performed. Definitely exceeded my expectations..Something that is becoming more & more rare in my life..LOL

Everyone was very Helpful,Professional and Courteous .

I want to thank you for taking the time to speak with me. It was refreshing to have a prompt call back and professional experience with you. Not something I found when reaching out to multiple businesses

Your staff was very knowledgeable and feedback was positive from those who met with your staff, as I was handling this Estate from out of state. Took a lot of pressure off of the family.

Exceeded our expectations!

Clients response to hearing their sale had over 10,000 views online:
Thanks for sharing, that's quite a reach, people were promptly signing the line-up sheet on our door a 5am on Friday. Those are some serious buyers!

Top Rate.Our expectations were high and you definitely met them.
We felt and appreciated a personal connection.
Thanks to Brian ,Jenifer & Becky

We are very happy that we chose to have an Estate sale, and that we chose Girlfriends Estate Sales to conduct it.They came to us highly recommended, and they lived up to their reputation. All that they were able to do to reduce the amount of my parent’s possessions- and to entice others to pay us for the privilege of helping us to do so --was greatly appreciated as it made the rest of our job of preparing the house for sale considerably easier

We wanted to send you an email regarding an employee Eric Horne. We attended one of your sales in Bellevue today – Sept 22nd and bought several items including 2 very large plant containers and a small plant container. Of course we show up unprepared ( our fault) and had to empty the pots that were full of potting soil and Eric was so helpful to us and found us shovels and buckets to use – we could not have done it without him. He is an excellent representative for your organization . We came away from your sale that we will certainly attend other sales of yours and will recommend your sales to our friends.
So many times people are quick to complain and slow to praise so we wanted to let you know how pleased we were with your operation.

Thank you

I just wanted to call you to say that Brian really went above & beyond this weekend helping me out

Hi Becky, Your staff were great, especially Eric, what a helpful employee you have in him. On our 2nd trip Richard and I were having trouble fitting all 6 chairs into the Pick Up. Brian was a Genius for sure had them figured out within just a few minutes and we were off and onto 405 again. I cleaned up the set this morning and it fits into the color theme beautifully.
Thanks again for all your help and see you next time somewhere I'm sure.

From the quality of your website, to all Staff we talked to by phone or met in the process,all were professional, friendly and helpful. Our neighbors and the family that bought our house were impressed with the professional manner in which Girlfriends ran a well attended sale.

Hi ,Becky
I want to thank you for helping us out with the situation we are facing when our person bailed on us for the estate sale.

Surprised that the staging only took one day! Jenifer, Ralita and Brian were all Great!

We thought mom would be able to stay in the house during the setup and sale, but quickly realized she needed to be moved out. You met & exceeded our expectations. I don’t know how we would have moved my mom out of her house without your help!

Becky did a great job of explaining the process and was careful to be reserved in valuations, particularly "dark wood" furniture. Brian and Eric were great. So many thanks for your flexibility and all of the hard work. I totally love the integrity shown by all.

January 2017

All of your staff members were excellent.

While we had hoped for stronger sales, we were pleased with everyone's hard work with organizing and conducting the sale!

You gave me peace of mind, and your service is excellent. Thank you!

Everyone was great and I would strongly recommend your services to others.

Communication was great, from the staff's patience with us during our initial visit to even better as our sale progressed. You exceeded my monetary expectations

Great support understanding all the steps. Very easy to initiate and complete. Everyone was great, but Brian especially communicated well throughout the sale. You exceeded my expectations, and I will most definitely recommend your services to others.

Becky, you are a real sweetheart as well. I truly appreciate your guidance and suggestions to continue on with letting go, and trying to make money from my parents home (and my stuff). I read the two articles and hopefully will receive via email the other one you only had one copy of with you today.

I wish property was worth more.....it would have been a delight to work with you and your staff.

I'm going to try and make your sale on Saturday....I know the experience would be very beneficial in more ways than one.

Again, I think the two of you for your time and knowledge.

Warmly,
Dawnmarie

Everyone was great. Both Brian and Becky were outstanding.

The staff was friendly and helpful. I especially appreciate the care that was taken not to mark up the walls as the whole house had just been painted. Thank you for a very professional job.

Please give my thanks to the person(s) who found and set aside my high school and college diplomas. I really appreciate it. I guess I didn't check everything as well as I thought.

I was very impressed with your whole process and the crew that came out and set up. They were friendly, professional and did a great job in setting up and arranging everything in just a day. With all the stuff I had, I was sure it was going to take several days. Brian was great, it is nice to see someone who works hard and clearly loves what he is doing. I will definitely be recommending you and your business to anyone looking for an estate sales company.

Please give my thanks to all who worked at my house.

Wow! Thanks for the amazing job Becky! I will definitely recommend Girlfriends to my clients and colleagues.

We have been going to estate sales since we moved back from Florida 3 years ago. We have come to the conclusion that "Girlfriends" has been the most fair, most organized and most friendly of all the similar companies in the area. Just thought you would like to know!!

It's a huge emotional and physical load off my shoulders having the house and mom’s contents to not have to worry about.

Your staff was excellent and professional throughout the whole process, your organization and pricing of the home contents, your marketing/photos and website coverage, your efficiency astounded me with the hundreds of people that showed up over a two-day sale.

Thank you again, your services are highly recommended.

Becky ---

The Vision House crew (about 22 in all) did a complete and thorough job. Thanks to all of your teams.

Hi Becky!

I thanked Brian in a text, but realized that I never told you how easy this sale was. Your group is terrific and I was so impressed by how well Vision House cleaned up. The house looked great!
Remond Sale, June 25,2015

Thank you to you, Brian and the rest of your team for all your hard work - you made our moving and downsizing process so much easier!

I only wanted to say what an incredible job and appearance your photos do to promote your sales. No one does it better!

I had a wonderful time at the estate sale last Thursday. You have a great group of people that work with you.

Thank you again for the incredible job you and your crew did. I know it was a small sale, but you still gave it your full attention.

I feel so fortunate to have contacted you to handle my estate sale. You, Brian, and the rest of your staff did an amazing job throughout the whole process. Teri and I will show up at one of your next sales, to say hi and maybe find a treasure!

Thanks for all your help with my Mom's place. It is MUCH appreciated and I wish you both the best with your business. I will certainly point others your way as they need your services.

Thank you Becky. Appreciate you and your company's efforts because out of
all the estate sales I have gone to yours are always friendly and very
professional. Pretty much I have eliminated going to most of the other ones.
I was a Realtor for 30 years before my building and development business
stopped thanks to the way the lenders were delegating their funds in 2006 so
I now buy and sell used and like new gym equipment and collect and use nice
old tools.

Thanks for yours and Brian's cell #'s and if you come across any huge vises
or old tools feel free to email or call or text me in case I forgot to look
online at your sales.
Dean

Becky and Brian,

As Julie mentioned we were both extremely impressed with both the conduct and the results from the Phase I estate sale!! Very impressive!!

Thanks,

Michael

Becky,

You and your staff were amazing and wonderful to work with. Thank you, Becky!

Kerry

Hi Becky, Just a big thank you for all the work you and your people did to make the sale a success. All the preparation and then everyone running their tails off for 2 days sure made for a great sale. I'm not sure how many miles Brian and Jenny covered yesterday but they were constantly on the move. Jenny wouldn't even leave late yesterday afternoon until she was sure we were happy with where everything was.
It was a pleasure to meet those we hadn't and work with each and everyone of them.
Continued success to you!
Take care.
Gale and Donna

Hello,

I was at the Normandy Park estate sale earlier today and just wanted to say thank you! You were all so friendly and helpful and everything was wonderfully organized. It made such an impression on me that I wanted to express my gratitude to you for putting on such a great estate sale. I'll be sure to sign up for your weekly email and will recommend your services to my friends and family who might need it.

Thanks again and looking forward to your next sale!

- Lis Orr

Hi Becky,
Just received the check and documentation and am very pleased! Thank you so very much!

The closing did, indeed, occur on time and I am finally just down to one house (thank goodness!)

This was a great experience! Thanks again, so much!
-Jan

Hi Becky-
I just wanted to let you know that you all do an amazing job and everyone is so kind and helpful. I look forward to shopping more estate sales w/ your company. Everything is so well organized and I feel that the items are very fairly priced. Please pass my praise along to your crew. Thanks so much!
Heather
P.S. See you tomorrow to pick up my furniture. :)

wow!
Thanks for everything Becky. I could not be happier with everything.
I did see the house and that is beyond my wildest dreams. Thank you!

Dear Beth, Angie & Becky,

During the past few months, as we prepared our house for sale and juggled all of the time dependent projects to sell our home, arrange an estate auction, transport a car, and arrange a move of our household goods, you knew the demands and stress we incurred. Being a project manager by experience, I had to find people that would get the job done reliably and on time.

Admittedly, almost everyone I found for the myriad of tasks through references and interviews ended up doing an excellent job, however, I wanted to single out you three and thank you for your professional performances and follow-through.

As you well know, at times it was like "herding cats" and the projects required double and triple checking. The three of you though, never required "chasing." Not only did you keep an eye on the big picture and the important grit details at the same time, you always took care of business and accomplished what you promised exactly when you said it would be done. That is rare in these days and something that a manager must value highly when discovered.

So, Wendy and I thank you for your performance and vindicating our expectations. It allowed us to focus on the loose ends and provide the buyers of our home with the time they wanted to get acquainted with our highly systemized house.

I am a very private person that also deals with confidential work so, I never will register with social networks like FaceBook or LinkedIn. However, I will look for you on Angies List (great service) and provide you the topmost ratings. Also, should you ever need a reference, I will tell any prospective customer that the only mistake they can make is to not engage your services.
Thank you for being the professionals that you are!

Best regards

Hi Becky,
First: thanks of the sales figures - Wow! More than I had expected. I am hearing wonderful words about you and your team from Cindy L. (the Other Cindy) and neighbors who attended the sale. All speak very highly of your crew's professionalism, manners with the customers - especially their patience, and organization. Everyone is very pleased. I was very happy with the condition of the house after the sale and how much was cleaned up. Your company was the perfect firm for our needs and you did an excellent job! Thank you!
