Working with The Estate Edit was a pleasure from start to finish. Molly was incredibly organized…read moreand communicative, which was especially important since I was coordinating both the estate sale and the sale of my parents' home from another state. She took care of everything, making sure my parents felt comfortable throughout the process. She was especially patient and kind with my mom, who was anxious and overwhelmed preparing to sell their home of nearly 50 years and most of their belongings.The Estate Edit not only advertised and sold several large-ticket items before the sale, but also staged everything beautifully. They even created an INCREDIBLE, customized video that highlighted the items for sale while celebrating the history of our family home--a special touch we'll never forget. During the sale weekend, Molly checked in with me daily to update me on what was selling. What could have been a stressful, emotional process turned out to be smooth, professional, and even more successful than I expected--we sold and earned more than I had hoped, and their services were worth every penny. I can't recommend The Estate Edit highly enough!

Do not trust these people. I bought a peace of furniture from them over the phone. They sent me an…read moreinvoice with absolutely no information on it other than the dollar amount. I then contacted them letting them know it didn't say anything about what I was purchasing. Then they just put ottoman. So I wrote them back stating that it was for a leather ottoman in very good condition. Which was what they told me. But neglected to put on the invoice. I then proceed to pay for it. I had a funny feeling at that point. Then I went to pick up my item a few days later. I had my doubts that it was leather at that point. I asked if they were sure it was leather again. They told me it was definitely leather. So I took them at their word. After loading the ottoman I took it to a leather furniture store in S. Barrington. He confirmed what I had thought. It was vinyl. I then proceeded to contact them. Thinking that maybe it was an oversight. Their reply was try to sell it on facebook marketplace. I did not tell them I wanted any money off. Nor did I tell them I wanted to return it. I just left the ball in their court. But me trying to sell it on marketplace is a joke. Thank god , I bought it with american express. I contacted them immediately. They issued me a refund. Pending an investigation. I will also be contacting the state's attorney's office. Due to the company's fraudulent representation. If you get screwed over by this company. I recommend you do the same. If you buy anything from this company be careful. They will tell you anything. To sell it to you. After looking at there reply.you can see that they are scammers. Nothing like we can meet at an expert to verify or please give us a call to rectify the situation. By the way the delay was because the invoice didn't state what I was getting. I can just imagine what would have happened if I didn't get clarification. Oh and by the way I wasn't even picking it up until the next day. So how was I trying to walk out with it without paying. Obviously just excuses from a scamming company. That got caught in there lies.

This past August my mother passed away suddenly. It's amazing how much actually needs to get done…read morewhen someone dies. It can be really overwhelming, especially when you end up in charge of the estate. Not only was I in charge of the estate, I was also 8 months pregnant. My brothers and I were at a loss of what to do with all the stuff in my mom's house. As much as we would have liked to do the sale ourselves, we just did not have the time to get it done.... and further more, the emotional capability. That's where Art comes in... My husband called around looking for someone who sets up and runs estate sales. My mom's house is not big, but she had some great collectables... and just lots of 'stuff'! Some of these businesses will only take the job if it's a huge estate and lots of antiques... and most of them are really snotty. BUT not Art. He answered all of my questions on the phone and was up front about his price and what service he offers. Then he came out to the house to meet me and take a look around (no charge). He accepted the job and we decided to go with him... and before I knew it the house was being organized and set up for the day of the sale. Art and his assistant did an amazing job! He took pictures of all the items and posted them on his website. He advertised all over, including places that only "estate sale go-ers" know about. He also kept me updated on how the progress was going by email, without me having to track him down and ask. Also, after the sale, what did not sell, he packed up in boxes and put them in one room and organized for all the leftover items to be donated (totally optional). Art and his team were extremely sensitive to our situation and could not have been more professional and genuine. Taking care of an estate is a really big job and I highly recommend you consider letting someone do that for you, and that someone should be Art. In retrospect, I can't imagine what it would have been like selling my mother's things, and physically it would have been impossible being as pregnant as I was. Now, the baby is here... and all we need to do is put my mom's house of up for sale. I can't thank Art enough for his honesty and hard work during this crazy emotional roller coaster. Not one regret.
