We were less than pleased with Susan Copeland from A Change of Seasons. She canceled the Estate Sale dates 3 different times and then called in mid January to let us know that she was ready to start when she told us that she would be starting the 1 st week of the month to get ready for the sale at the end of January. We believe she gives preference to big ticket estate sales, which is good for profits but bad for us.
Description of Work: Nothing, we hired someone else.

Description of Work: Susan came to our home and quickly got started looking at what we had in the house. She was very efficient, letting me know what might be fairly valuable, as well as honest about what was not and what does not sell very well. She was generous with her time, charging me for only a 1/2 hour of time. She also gave me a referral that helped me to empty the house. Thanks, Susan!

Susan Copeland of A Change of Seasons was professional, friendly and a pleasure to work with. After having interviewed 3 other estate sale firms, it was a no-brainer choosing A Change of Seasons. ...a very easy choice. Not to bad mouth the others that I interviewed but the general feeling that I got afterwards was not exactly a comfortable one. As the potential customer, I was required to put my complete trust in the person(s) who were going to do the sale. This requires (on the part of the estate sale people) a great deal of confidence building. It didn't work out that way with me, however. One company came in and only seemed interested in what items within the home that had any value -- for them, of course. The other came in with an attitude that they knew everything there was to know about all the furnishings and nic-naks in the home, leaving an impression that I really didn't know much of anything, "...leave it to me and everything will be okay..." Blah, blah, blah. After interviewing Susan, with A Change of Seasons, I felt like there was respect. She didn't come off as a know-it-all but she made me feel like my mom's home was very important and everything would be handled with respect and care. I really appreciated the way she did business. Needless to say, trusting my male intuition worked out very well with Susan Copeland and A Change of Seasons. The trust factor was established long before the actual estate sale took place. The estate sale took place, as promised, right on schedule with no hitches. I had to be out of town during the sale but that wasn't a problem. I was reassured by Susan that all would go well. It did go well! I am very pleased with the results. I would highly recommend A Change of Seasons. They are very good at what they do. And, if you want to feel comfortable during a rough time (at best), you will have no worries with this organization. They are really great! Thanks again, Susan.
Description of Work: A Change of Seasons provided me with the service of an Estate Sale after the death of my mom. The cost of service was left at $0 because it was based on a percentage of proceeds after an Esate Sale.

I could not have been more impressed with this organization. Beginning with our first meeting when we discussed the whole process of the estate sale, Susan was professional, pleasant and exceedingly helpful. She returned another time to finalize arrangements, sign the contract and go through last minute details. Susan was continually helpful, making sure to point out things I may have missed, or not thought of. During the first morning of the sale, she noticed a water leak and immediately notified me. She had already turned off the water to the house to prevent any further leakage. Her quick actions saved us more damage and money when it came time to fix the leak. She called me with the sale results on Tuesday evening (the sale concluded Sunday), and a total recap of the sale, along with a check, was in our hands by the end of the week. A Change of Seasons took what could have been an incredibly difficult process and made it smooth as silk. I can unconditionally recommend them to anyone looking for help in closing up a house.
Description of Work: The house was staged and an estate sale was conducted over the weekend of March 22-24, 2013. The owner kept in close touch with me as her company prepared the home and items inside for the estate sale. Everything was priced and arranged for the best presentation and sales opportunities. During the sale itself, she kept me apprised of the progress. On Sunday, arrangements were made to sell everything that remained. On Monday the house was completely empty and broom swept. I was called two days after the end of the sale with the results. The sales totals completely exceeded our expectations. We were mailed a detailed recap of all items sold, including the price tags showing the final sales price. The agreed upon split was a 35% commission on total sales for A Change of Seasons and 65% to us. A check for that amount was mailed within days of the completion of the sale.
