“I am so lucky a friend referred me to Emma and Anthony when I was frantically trying to move out of my house of 30 years which had just sold very quickly. Emma and Anthony were a joy to work with! All I had to do was take any items out of cupboards, cabinets and closets, that I wanted to keep. They were brilliant at turning my house into an antique store, and they are very well-versed in estimating values. They handled all aspects of the sale and even coordinated the complete clean out of the house. Parting with my house and many of the things inside was emotionally hard - they made it incredibly bearable!” Becky, Hopewell.
"Emma and Anthony did an outstanding job. Came in ahead of time, like she said they would, and went through EVERYTHING. Not just what was in our house and garage, but the 25+ tubs we brought back from our storage unit too. They sorted it all out over a few days and then several days prior to the sale set up the entire house to their liking. It was impressive, and I know there was NO way we would have been able to do what they did. It looked like a going out of business sale for a longtime antique shop. Most large things get priced, but a lot of it will get "horse-traded" on the fly. Best to just let them do it.
Honestly can't give you any weak points regarding the whole process. Only advice I can give you is be sure that if there are certain items you don't want sold get them out of the house. People will buy the craziest stuff. Months later we're still going "oh, I guess that got sold, too". Too funny.
In our case, when it was all said and done, she gave us pages of receipts of what went and what it sold for. Didn't really expect that. Thought we'd just get a paper bag of cash (and checks that are from TRUSTED buyers). Our sale took three days, your mileage may vary.
Oh, and get out of the way. Plan on being out of the premises for the duration of the sale. In fact they will insist on this. As basically homebodies this was the hardest part.
Good luck". Jay H.
"Our family was very pleased with having them run the estate sale at my parents' home in Beacon. They did a fantastic job on organizing, pricing and staging. It was great to have them take care of all the details with much respect. Thank you." Angie B.
“I feel fortunate that a friend recommended Emma and Anthony for our estate sale. My sisters and I felt rather overwhelmed with the task of clearing my parents' Westchester home of 60+ years of lovely but eclectic possessions. It was a relief to have these two consummate professionals advise us on what we had, walk us through the world of estate sales, and then do a superior job of staging and running the sale itself. More than the money involved --(and we did make a nice amount!) -- was the certainty that we were dealing with honest, ethical, and thoughtful people. My only regret is that I did not contact them earlier in the process. I unhesitatingly recommend their services.” Nancy G. Mamaroneck
"My husband and I recently engaged this Beacon company, since we were moving out of state and wanted to sell many things that we weren't taking to our new home. It was a tough moving sale, as we were still living in our house while the moving sale was being organized. So - to say our house was chaotic is an understatement.
I never saw people work harder in my life. They were in my house for days, organizing, putting up tables, pricing, researching. They were fabulous and I really enjoyed having them in our home. Emma does the advertising, signage, emailing - everything to make people aware of your sale. They know the value of your belongings and price them to sell, but they don't give away the store!
Not only did we make money from the sale of our belongings, they also offer an optional service where they take away almost every single item that did NOT sell. We took back a few things that we decided to keep after all, but the benefit of having our house cleared of all the things we were not taking with us was indescribable. I just spoke to someone who paid thousands of dollars to have his late mother's belongings cleared out of her house. Knowing that we are spared trips to the Dump, trips to Goodwill, waiting for pickups from other charities - it's all done and they did it!
I highly recommend them. They made a very stressful time so much easier. Thank you!" Kathryn J. Beacon
