We had a very short window of time between the sale and closing and Gayle Nudelman at Paxem made it all happen - she sold the entire estate. We could not have done it without her.

Crystal & Erin were remarkable - - worked diligently & were very careful w/belongings. Both extremely pleasant & easy to work with. Terry was not as responsive & seemed either overbooked or disorganized, albeit pleasant. Would mark all A’s except for Terry.

Everything was first-class. From the initial consult at the house with Gayle Nudelman to the final paperwork, the Paxem team were always efficient, professional, and savvy, as well as warm, understanding, and compassionate. I always felt they were treating my mother's stuff and my feelings with respect. They communicated with me every step of the way. 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. After the firm I had chosen told me they were booked, and the other three were non-starters for various reasons, in desperation I asked my realtor (the superb Nancy Perlman) if she knew anybody. One of her colleagues suggested Paxem. The Paxem team totally understood my time constraints and flew into action.
Description of Work: They did an estate sale and subsequent total clean-out on my late mother's house in May 2015. 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. 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.

The Paxem rep who came to meet with us and go through the house was very professional, friendly and thorough. She took pictures to help research whether or not there would be enough items to hold an Estate Sale. And she gave us an estimate for decluttering. It was a big job and I felt in good hands. The decluttering team was fantastic. Two hard working women went through the house from attics to basement in 6 hours. They were pleasant and fun and kept us moving along. I really can't imagine how we could have done it without them. We bagged all of the stuff to be disposed and I called a trash hauler to pick up. (that was separate from their service.) The Estate Sale team came back awhile later. They set up 50+ years worth of items and advertised with their many contacts. I was not there (I live 2500 miles away) but the neighbors reported an excellent turn out and said that the sale was very well supervised and organized. We were lucky that enough items were sold that my Mom was able to put a few dollars in the bank. Paxem's contacts with specialty buyers made the sale successful, I'm sure. I can't say enough good things about Paxem. It can be very emotional to prepare your family home for sale and the work itself is physically taxing. They were so supportive and helpful and stuck with us during a stressful time for our family. The house sold very quickly, which will be a big help to our mother who is now in assisted care (after a fall that happened in the middle of all of this!) What a relief to have it done.
Description of Work: Paxem sent in a decluttering team to clean out our 5 bedroom family home. Then they held an Estate Sale.

everything went fantastic. I didn't have to do anything! they took care of the sale and disposed of the remaining items per our agreement. the price I paid was a percentage of the total sale so it is hard to determine what I actually paid for the service.

I had been calling several movers to do a very small 10 mile move in mid September. All movers contacted had one reason or another why they could- would not want the job. Jennifer at Paxem, Inc. Residential & Senior Moves was so patient and helpful. even though her company did not handle moves like mine. Jennifer gave me 3 referrals she knew who would probably be able to help. I called the first name, Alpha Delivery and spoke with Miguel who was wonderful. Of course I booked the move with in minutes for the date and time I wanted; and $20 less per hour than the company who did return my call. Jennifer, thank you so very much for your kindness, time and help. : )

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!!
Description of Work: 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 had 3-5 appraisers on site while the junk removal company brought up materials for them to assess. They were able to locate the valuable items mixed in the trash very well!
Description of Work: They take a percentage of the sales. Paxem conducted multiple estate sales to help liquidate the contents of my Aunt's house who was a severe hoarder. They sold an amazing amount of her stuff and that really surprised our family!

The 4-woman crew was there when I arrived and ready to work. They moved efficiently and were sure to check with me about specific items they thought had monetary or sentimental value. It was as if 4 angels had visited and helped take a huge load off my shoulders.

Response from Paxem, Inc. Residential & Senior Moving & Estate Liquidation
Paxem always strives to be responsive, courteous and supportive of all the families we help. We packed a few times for (removed member name) and she was very pleased with our services. Where we failed was on follow up. (removed name) reached out to Paxem in November 2014 without a move date. We went in and packed breakables for (removed name) and she was pleased. On December 31st our Relocation Specialist reached out to find out more information. There were no specifics on the move and so she said she would call the following week. That week went by and on the 12th day we got this review and were quite unhappy with the rating. We are a company that cares about all aspects of what we do. We did call today and (removed name) hired another company to assist her with her move. She did ask for more information on an estate sale but she did not have enough to hold a sale so we declined. At this point we are hoping that (removed name) has a nice move with the other company she hired. We are sorry that we fell short on our follow up and measures have been put in place to help alleviate this issue.

This was the second time we used Paxem. We originally used them to move my widowed Mother-in-law from her home to a retirement community apartment. Paxem came to help determine what to take and what to leave, packed up the contents of the house, moved my Mother-in-law into her new apartment, and then held an estate sale with the remaining items at the home. Did I mention that the move was accomplished in just one day, including a complete set-up of the new apartment? There were no boxes to unpack, cartons to dispose of, or items to put away. It was all done by Paxem! They are amazing. The second time we hired them to move my Mother-in-law from her independent, to her assisted living apartment. This required some downsizing, which they helped us with, and took some of the property to be donated. I would highly recommend this team of professionals!

They packed up my mother's 2 bedroom apt. and moved her belongings to a senior living arrangement. They did an excellent job and were very professional. My only complaint was the price. It was extremely expensive and the move was only about 10 miles total. That is the only reason I would not use them again. Other than the price their services were excellent.
