I can't even begin to express how much this company has helped my family and I, particularly…read morePatrick Abell. My father recently passed and his gallery was left in disarray. None of the antiques were cataloged and everything was a mess. We talked to several companies to help us and we were shocked to hear that they wanted 50% of the profits. They also wanted to charge us for movers. Patrick came in and packaged everything up, moved everything, took a very small percentage. We were very impressed with how everything was handled with kindness. He was extremely fair. I honestly believe that the universe sent him to our family. He's a good human and honest businessman. I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Whatever circumstances you find yourself needing this kind of service, it is likely you are also juggling a ton of other tasks and with multiple family members, and it's an incredibly stressful and emotional time. Give yourself this gift, and work with Monica. She is swift, adept, clear, communicative, dependable, honest, thorough, and not to be overlooked, is kind. She was the only person that made my life easier in a very trying time. I'll never forget when she came into our place filled with random stuff all over the place, and I said, "what do I need to do for you to get started?" Her response was "Nothing!" I seriously almost cried. Within a few hours she had the bulk of the items showroom ready. She sold a lot of stuff, we made some money, and a huge weight was taken off my shoulders. I am forever thankful for her help, and would not hesitate to recommend anyone to this wonderful woman.

She and her team work hard and get the job done with respect and integrity.

Jack came in and told me exactly what he wanted to see, what he was looking for specifically and made sure I was present for the smaller, expensive items I was looking to part with. He clearly knows his business. I appreciated our conversation about what items would sell, what their true value was and why. We discussed ideas on the best options for moving those items. He was respectful when speaking with me, making sure my expectations were realistic. Our business was completed quickly, I'm happy to recommend American Estate Buyers.

From others that I've seen, I guess I'm not alone and my negative experience from this clown show…read morethat calls themselves in auction house. I don't know who took over whom as now it is Bonham's-Skinner, but, Alina from the Los Angeles office was very professional and helpful with getting my information to the New York office to the Asian arts evaluation department. I've been trying to get a reply from them since November of last year. To date, 12 Feb 2026, not a word. Calling over to the LA office once again this morning, the phones were not answered, and it leaves nothing other than recorded from some unknown woman telling to send evaluations to their email address, which again, had gone unanswered. I think aside from their promotions on Antiques Roadshow from the past, it's like dealing with amateur hour over there. I'm dealing with a large estate that has a lot of larger and far more valuable items but I figured I would give them a try on this one Qing dynasty teapot. I guess I will just stick with the larger auction houses and have more established bidders that will be willing to pay more. Even if the commission is higher. All I have to say, if you deal with them, is good luck! You're going to need it.

Penny has been absolutely great! After consulting with…read moreseveral estate sales agents, I learned that the standard charge is 40% and it takes up to four weeks to put on a professional estate sale. So no. I didn't get to use her expertise as our estate sales agent, but she gave us some great valuable information on putting on our own estate sales. I used the estate sales links she suggested and they brought in people from great distances. Our signage brought a great crowd too. BUT!!! I highly recommend --- DON'T DO IT YOURSELF!!!! I was pressed to remove the contents of my mother's home much sooner than a professional sales would complete a sale. Yet, I will never let this time pressure control the issue again! Penny's expertise expands all levels! She advertises. Completes signage. Provides adequate pricing. And knows about crowd management, which we came short handed at one point. She's knowledgable in antiques, vintage, jewelry, and coin. Through this personal experience, trying to dispose of my mother's estate, I confirmed Penny's estimates (which seemed low) on what to sell my mother's very high quality items, and yet I still didn't get that value. So, don't be disappointed that your loved ones antiques and such don't sell at your high expectations. People just aren't buying it!!! Penny also passed my impression as a good honest person. Who else would help out in so many ways? Hiring an estate sales person is worth the cost all the way!! So why not hire someone like Penny and Pig Estate Sales? HIRE PENNY!!!
