Response from Estate Sales of South Florida, LLC
I have no idea who this person is. We never did business with them nor were we ever contacted by them. It's sad that people are allowed to give good companies a bad rating on this site when we have never dealt with them before. We always contact all of our potential clients whether is email or by phone.

Brigitte was prompt, professional, and provided personalized service durng a very stressful time for our family. She came to the property to assess our needs, arranged for the optimum approach toward selling the items, and made sure that the propoerty was ready for sale to a new owner. Brigitte connected us with an auction house that provided services as well.
Description of Work: Arranged auction and dispersement of my mother's estate items in preparation for sale of her property.

I tried to keep in contact regarding this sale. I was told repeatedly she was having trouble with her phone. Her estimate of what the sale would bring and what actually happened were very far apart. There was no way to determine what was sold or for what price. The service of and quot;broom cleanand quot; at the end of the sale was not done either. I still had things in the house that I had to remove before closing on the property. I do not believe she lived up to what she said she was going to do for this sale. I would not reccomend this company.
Description of Work: I was not impressed with the signage used for the sale in the neighborhood, two white poster boards and a black magic marker, in front of the house. Nothing by the entrances of the development. I was disappointed in the communication between the company and myself. I was not kept up to date with the sale or its problems. They put everything out that did not sell or taken for donation to the curb on Thursday, April 18, 2013 and bulk pick up was not until April 22. We received calls and complaints from the neighbors. One of the neighbors, was screaming and cursing at my husband, when he went over to drag some of the things back to the garage to be in complaince with the home owners association. We did not need this additional stress.

Response from Estate Sales of South Florida, LLC
I am sorry that my client felt/feels this way. I was never contacted by her about my performance. This was an older estate that has a huge amount of termite damage done to the furniture. The donation companies refused to take any of it based on that. They could not risk bringing termites into their stores. Per our contract it states that any additional trash removal would be an extra fee and that we would provide a price from a local clean up company. We only had two signs in the front yard, because the HOA did not allow signs at the entrance or anywhere in the neighborhood. We were forced to priced many items at a much lower price due to most of it being termite infested. I keep pictures of all my estates and will be happy to show these to any future clients in question. We do offer a full inventory list to our clients for an extra $50 an hour for that service. I based my estimate of the sale on what I saw during my initial walk through which at that time the clients failed to tell or show me any of the damage done to the furniture. My initial estimate is just that, an estimate based on what I see during my free consultation. Again, I am sorry my client did not feel that we did a good job in our services. We were never once called or emailed with a complaint, and when I spoke to her about sending her check she never once mentioned any of this. We would have tried to fix or help her with any problems that she felt needed to be dealt with.

My father passed away in Florida. I live in another state. I needed to deal with all his home furnishings, memorabilia and other personal effects. Brigitte came over and talked about her company. She ran the sale early November. It was professionally done from the set up to the sale, including parking lot attendants. Once the sale was over she had the rest of the items removed. She had excellent phone and email communications. Her fee was 30% of the sales. Very reasonable. She is extremely honest. Upon finding $600 that my father had hidden, she immediately emailed me, then mailed a check for with the final payment check. Both checks were received less than a week after the sale. She did everything she promised and more. I couldn't improve on anything.

My father passed away and I had the contents of his condo to deal with. I live in another state. I called Brigitte and she responded almost immediately. She came over and looked at all his belongings, and felt she could sell most of it. What she couldn't sell, she would donate or haul away. If certain items didn't bring the price she expected, she would take them on consignment and auction them off. Her price for all this was 30% of the proceeds. She told us not to throw anything out. We set a date for the sale, and she handled everything else. She brought in a professional team handle the sales, parking etc. Within a week of the sale, I had a check for my portion. While she was arranging things, she found $600 that my father had hidden. She immediately informed me of it, and sent me a check to cover it. It made one of the more difficult times in my life so simple. She handled it honestly, professionally, and quickly. She communicated every step effectively and timely. I recommend her to anyone who needs a loved ones estate handled.
Description of Work: Brigitte came over within a day of my phone call and told us about her services, which included sorting, tagging, selling, and removal of all items in the condo. She set up a date for the sale. She had attendants to help with parking on private land. She said a final check would be mailed within 5 days of sale, and it was. She was excellent in her communications.
