Ideally, of course, we sell and donate what we can-but even just the clearing out aspect was looking like a nightmare logistically, financially... not to mention time... not to mention STRESS. True to their name and promise, Stress Free Estate Services truly handled it all. Quick, communicative, under budget & ahead of schedule. In fact, I feel so strongly about my recommendation, I feel compelled to write a long version for the benefit of anyone who is in the same place I was before we chose to go with Dennis... LONG VERSION ---- When I found/called Dennis, I was surrounded by notebook pages and spreadsheets full of quotes and timelines, becoming increasingly overwhelmed trying to do everything myself. (Everything from dumpster people, to donation people, to cleaning people, to scores of potential buyers, AKA randos, on several buy/sell apps). It was a classic, "There's got to be a better way!" Quick search online, and I found Dennis. I feared a company called "Stress Free Estate Services," with a website claiming to provide EVERY service I was trying to handle on my own, might be too good to be true. There's a level of trust inherent in this kind of arrangement, trust that was earned after the fact by outstanding work. The better I can describe our positive experience, the more I can hopefully shorten what can feel like a leap of faith-especially in a situation like ours, where we were out of state, a bit overwhelmed, and, honestly, a bit reeling, trying to do it all on our own. It's a vulnerable place to be. The service was as good as advertised. My only regret is that I didn't find Dennis earlier. I could have saved weeks of work and worry-as it is, he saved me months of the same. I was far enough along in the process to be able to compare Stress Free Estate Services with quotes I received from all the different parties which would have been required to do it on my own. Even if Dennis had not sold anything, his up-front cost was still less than it would have cost to clear out the house on my own. But he did sell-quite a bit. Enough that a check is in the mail. We are RECEIVING more money than it would have COST to do it on our own. Amazing value-even before you account for TIME/ENERGY saved and STRESS avoided. The only thing Dennis can't compete with is some idealized version of what doing it myself could have looked like. (I was far along enough in the process to know.) Even if I could have made it my full time job to try to get top dollar for every item in a cluttered house, the reality of my earnings would have failed to meet what I instinctually felt things were worth. The endowment effect is reel... And buyers will not pay to cover the sentimental value I'd helplessly fold into my pricing. The only way to counteract this? Have someone else do it. Someone who knows how. Make it back in time saved. Stress saved. Ultimately, even in the money earned-because I do not know how to do this on my own (not well, anyway). And I couldn't have made it my full time job. I wasn't even in the same state. We needed the house cleared-whatever could be donated, donated, and whatever could be sold, sold. Dennis solved all these problems, on budget and ahead of schedule. Now we can sell the house. Stress-free, indeed! Very grateful!

Sellers beware! 0 stars! It's long review but please read it so you know what this company does to…read morepeople. I had originally left a good review, it's now deleted. They are very manipulative especially with the elderly. Her home is nice and structurely sound passed every inspection and has lots of land. They signed the contract, did the 10 day due diligence. She was more than accommodating to these people. Allowing walk throughs with a few hour notice. One said they'd be there at 3pm didnt show up till 6pm. She heard nothing back after the due diligence ended September 28th. According to THERE contract everything was set in stone after the due diligence ended and they were to close on October 8th. So she called Heather the coordinator on September 29th to get the info for the title company to move forward for the closing scheduled to happen about a week later. Heather danced around the question said she'd call back but no calls back till 6 days before the closing date on October 2nd at 6pm on a Friday, how convenient. Connor was the one who called mind you 4 days after there chance to back out or lower had passed per the contract. He said that the owner didn't want it because it was "wetlands" its not. We went straight to the town who also said its not wetlands its zoned as residential /farm. So when that didnt work Connor calls back again now they want to try to lower the price you know the good old bait and switch. So we tried to ask him how the owner can breach his own contract and why he didn't do this during the due diligence. He talked over us and danced around the questions. So then he calls her today saying that they want to lower the price by 50k! That's insane she was already taking a big loss because she was desperate. The property was evaluated at 250k more than there offer. They used her desperation against her. My mom thought she was safe after it ended because unfortunately she trusted them. So she started making more deposits on her new place and getting land ready which she is now struggling to keep. This company does not even follow there own contracts! They know the people coming to them are in a tough spot and financially cant fight them in court. They use that to there advantage. My mom was mislead by the reviews on this page and also by Connor and Sean. They both pretended to care told her what she wanted to hear. Connor, manipulating her with comments like "99% the price won't change" and "if the investors didn't want it the owner did" turns out that was not true. Please save yourself the stress and disappointment and bealive the negative reviews! I would hate to see someone have to go through what this horrible company did to us. They're a predatory company who pray on you in your worst time in life. They tie up your property so they can try to back you in a corner and offer an outrageously low price. Go to other cash buyers. They tied up the property for weeks knowing her dead line. They sweet talk until its time to pay out. Run from this company as fast as you can! I've spoken to other cash buyers recently told me one red flag was them keeping the supposed "title company" a secret from day one. They said more then likely they were counting on an investor to use there money for the purchase. Which makes sense now because the buyer who came on September 29th, 3 hours late the day after the due diligence ended said IPS cash uses his money to back deals. He said its happened on over 30 house. They never told my mom that they were doing that they told her they were buying it.This company acts like they care and treat people with dignity but the way my elderly mother was treated was not kind or dignified. Shame on you Sean, Connor, Heather, Jenna and Joe T for your bad buisness ethics and manipulation of an old lady who just lost her husband and now a lot of money. I will not allow there condescending responses to sway me or manipulate us anymore. This company needs to be held accountable. * RESPONCE TO THE OWNER You had 10 days you broke your own contract! I have a large following and I will make sure people know how you do buisness. I'll worry about my family and our privacy. You worry about about your bad buisness ethics

The cracker jack real estate agent I used in the past has since passed away. I have a very different property in that I have operated my business from home. The house is located on 8.79 acres in the Commercial portion of the acreage; the lot is sub dividable; a 4-car heated and insulated garage; wet bar; 4 bedrooms; 4 bathrooms; open concept living; dual sided fireplace; master bedroom suite; beyond ample closets and storage space; along with an additional 12x14 storage shed for the lawn and garden stuff. My home has a wet bar and a patio featuring a water fountain and has always been an entertainment center and my kids will attest to that! In May of this year (2013) I listed my home for sale with Prudential Verani Real Estate in Concord. The first mistake was the agent gave me the choice of taking the pictures of my house or she would come back and do it. Since I am here all the time, I took some temporary pictures, many of them not very good, and not wide angle enough. The agent did not come back to take any additional pictures, until I complained to the Office Manager at the Concord Office, a full month later. Her next mistake was in scheduling an Open House. Verani prides itself on its "special" listings on the internet because it's Verani. The Open House was scheduled, but we did not have an Open House listed on the website at Verani's main advertising source, Realtor.com. This was beyond disappointing. The day of the Open House my husband and I had a glitch with our brand new truck and did not leave the house very early as intended. In fact, we left the house 20 minutes after the Open House began. Guess what, there wasn't any Real Estate Agent at our house at the time we left. We know she eventually did show up, but we don't know what time, nor how long she stayed. The following Monday morning I asked the agent through an email what time she had scheduled the Open House. She wrote me back the exact time that she wasn't there. Ouch, don't tell me you were here when I know you weren't. It was no surprise that no one showed up for an Open House. I decided to give Verani another chance since this agent's main occupation is a bookeeper for a local business and a bartender at a local restaurant and I was unfair thinking I was getting a full-time real estate agent. I was assigned to a husband and wife team. They are pleasant people who always show up with a smile. The husband does all the talking. The wife took very nice photos of the property but never has much to say. These agents did the things I requested: a Take One box at the driveway, a website, and produced an Optical Reader tab for the Smartphone Generation. All sounded good. They have held two Open Houses and showed the property twice. In each instance, I had to contact them for feedback, not the other way around. When I called them out, his answer was: "I sent you an email, but didn't hear anything back. I must have sent it to the wrong address." I'll bet he had the dog eat his homework in school as a kid! Imagine that, a Real Estate Sales Professional who doesn't maintain his client's correct email address. No telephone call after showings or Open Houses. Someone should be going to basic sales seminars! No kidding! My sales agent told me that we could not be present at an Open House, not that I wanted to be, because there is a NH Law that says the Buyer and Seller cannot meet until the closing. I checked this out with the NH Real Estate Board and found this untrue. Oops, mistruth #2 from a Verani agent. I have asked both agents from Verani what their marketing plan was to sell my property. In both cases, there was no answer. Instead they refer you to their "extensive" internet advertising presence. I question whether they understand the difference between marketing and advertising. My daughter and I talked last night and came up with 7 different uses for my property and that was in less than 5 minutes. If you are looking for a real estate agent who can think outside the box, Verani in Concord, NH is definitely not the agency. It is my opinion and experience with the two agents I dealt with that they wait for someone to call them and then the potential buyer is dragged through however many properties the agent sees fit. I get it, the market is not great. It's not going to be great for a while, and maybe it won't ever come back. It seems that everywhere you turn there are Verani For Sale signs out on lawns and I feel that they have spread themselves for sheer volume agents and not quality agents. Just because you have "x" number of sales pending doesn't mean a thing, even a blind squirrel grabs a nut now and then. To sum up a very bad experience, I would not recommend Prudential Verani Real Estate in Concord, NH to anyone, particularly if I liked them! Sorry.

They gave me full refund however I drove an hour to pick up site. This has now happened to me twice with this company, which is very frustrating. I believe there should be better oversight during pickup, including checking that customers are leaving with the items they actually won. If I choose to bid with this company again, I will make every effort to be there early for pickup. If I cannot be there early, I will likely choose not to bid, as I do not feel comfortable risking having my purchased items taken again.
