(note - fee structuring and other may have changed since my 2020, 2021 experiences)
Coastal Downsizing LLC = definitely 5-STARS+ 2020 & again 2021, I was a "seller" with items to place in their online auction; items no longer used or suited to my changed tastes in decor.
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! read more
