My family selected Integrity First to conduct an estate sale of our parents' household effects…read more From the beginning, Teri and Diana were genuinely excited about the sale, and their enthusiasm never lessened. They organized and presented my parents' various collections of items in logical and attractive arrangements. It was obvious they know their business, and working with them was a real pleasure. They followed through with everything they said they would do, which made things incredibly easy and smooth for us. Even when we changed a few things along the way, they just rolled with the punches and made it all work! I cannot say enough good things about the wonderful experience it was in having them assist us in the sad task of emptying my parents' home of more than 35 years.

Integrity First Sales came as a recommendation, and boy they did not disappoint. My partner and I…read morenow live out of town and needed some help cleaning out family property of some pretty incredible clothing and jewelry. Diana and Teri, made this process so easy, manageable and transparent. I knew we would be in great hands in our unique situation. We are so grateful for the time, effort and care that they both put into selling our items. While the circumstances of using their services was not pleasant, I would recommend them over and over again to anyone interested in doing an estate sale. They were able to take a huge load off our shoulders and allow us the time and energy to focus on other matters! Thank you so much!!! Side note: their commission rate is not high enough for the amount of work they do, and other companies asked for way more than them!

Warning to Potential Clients:…read more I'm writing this review to share my unfortunate experience with Family Estate Services--not out of anger, but to help others avoid the same issues I faced. I only received the payment I was owed after threatening legal action, which should never be necessary in a professional business relationship. Initially, Lisa presented herself as trustworthy, which led me to feel comfortable giving her access to my home while I was out of state for an estate sale. Unfortunately, that trust was seriously violated. Without my permission, her team used my appliances, causing a washing machine overflow that flooded my garage. I returned to find further damage, including a metal salt shaker cap jammed in the garbage disposal and adhesive Velcro stuck to a windowpane. None of this was reported or approved. A contractor who was working on-site informed me that a young male staff member urinated on the bathroom floor--something he had to personally bring to Lisa's attention to be cleaned. Both bathrooms were left filthy when I returned. More concerning was the inappropriate and unwanted behavior of an older male employee, who made advances toward me. I made it clear to Lisa that he was not to return to my property. Looking back, I regret not ending the contract then. I strongly caution other women--regardless of marital status--not to be alone with any male employee from this company. After the estate sale, Lisa repeatedly delayed payment with excuse after excuse: she thought her husband mailed the check, she was in the hospital, her mother had an injury, complications with a family adoption, and so on. Despite my patience, it became clear--especially after reading similar reviews from past clients--that this was a pattern of avoidance and unprofessionalism. Lisa seemed to count on clients giving up. She took advantage of my understanding nature, and I felt manipulated, underpaid, and disrespected. Only after I threatened small claims court did I receive my payment. What started as a professional agreement became a deeply stressful and disappointing ordeal. I share this so others can make an informed decision and, hopefully, avoid going through what I did. Think twice before hiring this company. Sincerely, Dawn R.

My aunt had to relocate from San Diego to Missouri. She and her husband had collected anything and…read moreeverything throughout their lives. The house was overrun with 'stuff'. After interviewing a few other liquidators, I happened to find Estate Liquidations by VVS Antiques by a Google search. It was the luckiest connection I have ever made. Olga and Greg came to the house. They were not overwhelmed by the amount of 'stuff' was there. They identified key pieces that would be of value. They knew what the collections were. I signed the contract the next day. They started work before Thanksgiving and have work on organizing and pricing. The first sale was in January. They continued to organize and price until the final sale at the end of May. I cannot begin to express how much 'stuff' was in the property! Olga and Greg were at the house every day and worked long hours to clean, price and organize. I cannot adequately explain how extensive the work was and how diligent they were at working through it all. They never gave up. I feel that the day I found them was providence by the hand of God. After a couple of months, I felt completely confident with them and was able to leave them to manage the entire liquidation. They were extremely honest and meticulous in the record keeping. If you are looking for someone to liquidate and estate, Please, Please call Olga. You won't regret it!!!

Don't let Steve Mattson's low key manner throw you off into thinking that he may not be the man to…read morehandle your family's estate sale. My mother had lived in our family home since 1950 and my father had spent years collecting everything from African masks to Asian art to beer steins plus many other odd items that stuck his fancy. Steve said this was the biggest job he had taken on, but this did not slow him down for a minute. From start to finish he methodically researched, organized and priced items for sale. I do not live in San Diego, but friends reported that on the day of the sale the line was out the door and the traffic in the house carefully controlled. The sale was a fabulous success netting more that the amount Steve had hoped. After the sale was complete Steve gave us a fair price for the remaining items that had gone unsold. He also gave us a reasonable price to totally clean out the house leaving it ready for the painters who would begin work the following week. It is normal for the person holding an estate sale to have to deal with more than one family member and navigate delicate family issues in preparation for the sale. I cannot say enough about how Steve was able to answer all questions in preparation for the sale patiently to everyone's satisfaction. No down sides to hiring Mattson Estate Sales! Steve and his team are the best and I cannot recommend his company more strongly.

We previously worked with Steve Mattson's Estate Sale & Liquidation Service and even recommended…read morehim to a neighbor, so we expected a similar level of service this time. Unfortunately, this experience was very disappointing. About three and a half weeks before we needed to be out of our rental, Steve came to review what we had available. We showed him many higher-priced, quality items and asked specifically about everything -- including food, supplements, furniture, a heavy fountain, and more. He indicated he would take it all and that we had enough to make it worth his time and effort. As agreed, five days before the scheduled pickup, his employee did a final walkthrough. We provided a detailed list of items we had already discussed with Steve and had even added additional items he had previously said he would take. Then, just two days later, we received a text saying this was now considered more of a cleanout -- and that we would need to pay him over $1,700. During a follow-up phone call, he said the items we had previously discussed were not worth his time to take. This was especially frustrating because we had offered to let him take only what he felt was worth selling. This sudden change completely disrupted our timeline and plans to be out of the rental by the end of the month. We feel the expectations set at the beginning were not honored, which put us in a very difficult position on a tight schedule. Based on our experience, I would advise being very cautious when making plans, especially if you are working within strict deadlines.

ABSOLUTELY I WOULD RECOMMEND…read more We met with three different estate sale companies. The first two were sketchy at best. They both offered to take a 3,000sf house full of antiques, art, crystal, china, designer clothes & shoes, furniture etc off our hands and leave the house "broom clean" for an out of pocket cost of over $2,000! Haul my stuff away and then go sell it on eBay was my first thought. To say the least I was reluctant to meet with the third party, Quality Estate Sales. Boy was I surprised! Boris, the owner came thru the house with compassion and integrity looking at every item and did not focus on just the more valuable ones. Dealing with Boris and his crew was like dealing with my best friend. The way they came into the home and tenderly handled so many of the things we had treasured, cleaned them (the glassware and silver pieces) and set up beautiful organized displays truly touched my heart. I can not say enough about this quality, respectful, company. We ended up making money and not being out of pocket. Please, call Boris. Do not call those fancy hyped up ads with false reviews. Quality Estate Sales is the real deal! Besides getting the job down in a well organized way, Boris also guarded our emotional attachment as we said goodbye to so many memorable items our parents had collected through the years. Thank you Boris and thank you to your entire crew!
