I wish I could leave a minus, minus rating like TNT left my finances. Don't let this sweet little…read morewoman deceive you, she's had a lifetime in the business to hone her skills and she will take advantage of you every step of the way. When I first met her she looked over my items and said the sale should take in around $5,000 of which I would receive 50%. I had reservations because the sale was in a condo with no street parking but she assured me that she had a list of customers that she would contact and with heavy online advertising we should have a good turnout. It took her three weeks of "pricing" in which she hired approximately 1-3 people (@$20/hr. which I was billed, it's in the contract) daily and weekends to price my items. I spent an additional $600 in labor charges to move all the items to the first floor as she requested. The "heavy" advertising was one free listing on an auction/sale website. On the day of the sale she scheduled 3-4 employees to be present, again at my expense. When I happened to ask one of the employees of possible plumbing issues she told me that she hadn't noticed anything and that they had moved some items to that bathroom so they could get a higher discount on the last day and that she didn't notice any issues. The employee told me that. At the end of the sale not only did I not make a penny for all of the family heirlooms, furniture, bed sets, assorted silver pieces that were sold but she sent me a bill for $1,500. So..... counting the $600 I spent moving things for her I was now in the hole for $2,100. How can one sell all of her possessions in an estate sale and end up owing the sales company? I should not have to pay for her mismanagement. This little lady went from sweet to hard ass cutthroat in the blink of an eye. She'll be sending you certified notices in the mail threatening to take you to court in the blink of an eye. She's done this before, many times and knows the routine. People beware! This business is a sham and a disgrace. She preys on people in their most vulnerable time and I suspect the majority of her sales are for families of the deceased who do not have the time or interest in being hands on. If you take the time to actually go through her accounting you'd be surprised at how many items are unaccounted for and it's your word against hers, remember, it's all in the contract. At the end of the sale she donates anything left over to "her charity contacts" whoever they are. They come in big trucks with no name on them so I have no idea where it went since she will not furnish you with a signed tax receipt. Yep, she even keeps your tax deduction. But that stuff probably went to a second hand store in Baltimore for all I know so there's no tax write off to give. Since this woman is such a stickler for legalities I feel I must add he following to protect myself from future hassles from her.

WHY 5+: pre, during, post auction - phone and email communication was quickly responsive, detailed, and courteous in response to questions. They also asked permission to place certain niche items (vintage jewelry) into another upcoming auction they determined would be a better fit, which I appreciated. The detailed photos they took and research done to document maker/year/materials for items were high quality and beyond expectation. Importantly also, their auction content was honest for buyers, showing any cracks or damage if items had such. The website was slick, easy to navigate, w/audible "dings" during the auction when something was bid on, along w/showing the bid offers. As a seller, there were no hidden or peripheral fees, Coastal Downsizing took a fair and straightforward % of the sales. Within ~2 weeks post-auction, I received a check for my portion of the sales and an emailed inventory of my items, listing what sold and what didn't, incl. the winning bids Overall: EXCELLENT service!
