Despite some good effort the sale was very disappointing. The items not sold at the sale were sold at a very discounted price. He made off with some beautiful articles. My expectations were for a much higher return. We made about half what we expected. There were excuses, too close to Easter and others. Best to try and sell yourself before trying here.

Description of Work: Justus and his staff conducted a moving sale at my Harbor Town condo from 7/25 thru 7/27. He continued to list the items that did not sale on the Internet for another couple of weeks, picked up all sold items still in the condo on 8/8/14, and paid me my share of the proceeds that same day. | |Overall the sale went very smoothly, especially given the constraints of holding it in a secured condo building and having to station a staff member continuously at the front door. I am not sure if some of the items were priced correctly for the resale market and his 27% fee may have been on the high end, but I was very pleased with the professionalism, timeliness, and care of my condo and personal items provided. I would use his firm again but would also look for a firm that owned a resale store and, therefore, could continue to sale any unsold items on a long term basis.

He's a very nice man and seemed as if he wanted to help me, but nothing came of any of it. I ended up selling things on my own and donating most of it to charities.
Description of Work: Over the years I have inherited numerous items from grandparents and parents. I needed to downgrade and decided to try an estate agent and called Justus. He was prompt in returning my call and coming to my home to see what I had. He gave me a packet of info on his company, but it did not include any pricing. He promised to make some phone calls since it was such an eclectic collection of things, but a week went by with no word from him. I did my own investigating online as best I could, but I am definitely no expert on such things. I called him several times. He did call back, but sometimes days after my call.

I used them because they were recommended by on who had been recommended, so it was an indirect recommendation. The first provider would not handle the estate because it was small but Justus & Co., Inc Estate Sales would. The people with Justus & Co were just excellent. They were very nice, knowledgeable, thorough and worked their butts off. I did not have any bad experience on the contrary it was all good.

We sold our house after only a few days on the market. The new owners wanted to take possession within 4 weeks. We had to move from over 4,000 ft. to a rental with less than 1,800 ft., so serious downsizing was in order. I contacted Justus about holding an estate sale for us to dispose of furniture and household items that we no longer needed. Justus, Judy and Armando met with us, took pictures and cataloged every item we wanted included in the sale. We set the dates for 8/2/13 - 8/5/13. On 7/29, they started began setting up for the sale, putting items on tables with prices. We wanted to keep some personal items out of the sale and they identified them with 'SOLD' tags or blue tape. They also sold some unusual items such as outdoor kitchen and a zero-turn mower. They advertised on several web sites and in local newspapers. The turnout for all three days was amazing, considering it was raining two of the three days. Eventually, most of the major items were sold in the sale. Justus arranged for a liquidation company to remove the remaining inventory, clean the house and make it ready for the new owners. Overall we were very satisfied with Justus & Co. and would definitely use them again if needed.

I played a very slow game of phone tag and ended up using another provider.

They held the esate sale from June 16 to June 18, 2012 and did an extraordinary job. Almost everything of value in my home was sold. They arranged with the Vietnam Veterans to send a truck in and pick up all remaining items. Some items of value that did not sell were taken to their next sale on consignment. They came back several times to ensure delivery of items that were sold. They went through the house one last time and picked up any trash. During the sale my security door closer in front was pulled out from the wood. They repaired that during one of the follow-up trips.
Description of Work: Justus and Co. came into my home to provide me with estate sales services as I am moving. They spent five very long days going through every part of my home. They isplayed everything they found, categorized it and marked it with prices. Any personal items they found such as photographs they set aside for me.
