The amount of stuff was overwhelming! Every day the apartment wasn't vacant was costing $250. I had to get out asap. I had been to Rick's Estate store in Orinda (fantastic deals, btw,) and felt like some items may be of interest to him. I sent a few photos off and Rick said he could come have a look and write up an offer. He was able to come the next day! He wrote up an offer and quickly arranged movers. I felt such relief that some of the nicer items would go to people who would appreciate them and having someone else manage the logistics was a huge load off my shoulders. As it happens, Rick also was a huge advocate for me when scheduling the move in the building hit a SNAFU. I was barely holding it together and he swooped in and arranged everything with the move coordinator. The movers he works with (FirstHand Movers) are great, efficient, and respectful. After the selected items were removed, everything left seemed manageable and I was able to quickly clear out the rest using a junk removal service. I'm so grateful to Rick, his son, and his movers for helping me get everything out in just a few days. He offered to look through coins my mom left as well as jewelry so that's my next step.

My brother and I had been trying to figure out what to do with the house for months, and from the first time I met with them, I felt like we were in good hands. One of the things that initially made me feel comfortable choosing Sorted was knowing that they've been through this themselves. They've been in our shoes and understand how difficult and emotional it can be to go through a parent's home and belongings. That really came through in the way they approached everything. They were incredibly organized, responsive, thoughtful, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. What really stood out was how much care they showed toward my dad's belongings. They took the time to understand what might be meaningful to our family, found good homes for so many of his things, and made sure anything they thought we might want was put aside for us. It never felt like they were simply there to empty a house. They handled all the logistics, donations, coordination, and final clear-out, which took an enormous amount of stress off of us. When they were finished, the house was completely cleared and ready for us to move on to the next step. Amy and Felicia are also just genuinely wonderful people. They made a difficult process so much easier than I expected it to be, and I'm incredibly grateful we found them. They completely exceeded our expectations. I've already been recommending Sorted Estates to everyone I can, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend them to anyone dealing with an estate or family home.

It is humanly impossible for 25 people in about 20 cars to arrive, sign in, and drive away in that time , especially when no one was visible outside the house. If that's truly possible, maybe I should be contacting Guinness World Records instead of leaving reviews. Very poor experience with this company today. I saw an estate sale posted online and, since I live in the neighborhood, decided to check it out. We arrived at 6:03 a.m.--just three minutes after the address was posted--yet there were already 25 people on the list. No one was around the house or double parked, which makes it obvious the owner shares the address with friends or frequent customers before it's posted. It's also clear the company caters to dealers, both through this practice and the low prices they give them. This is disappointing and unfair to the families who trust them to handle their loved ones' estates. Please be cautious--other companies will provide fairer prices and more transparency. I will not be returning to any future sales.

When I went to buy the item, I let Gina know that I was moving in two weeks and asked if she could hold onto the desk until my movers could pick it up.

Two weeks later, I gave her a phone call and the pickup was quite quick and easy. I was pleasantly surprised by this experience. I would definitely recommend purchasing furniture from Every Little Thing Estate Sales and Services.

I hate to write a bad review because I know how much effort goes into these sales, especially having 4-5 employees on staff at the sale, but... These prices are based on comparables on eBay. This pricing is too high for a local estate sale and much higher than the competition. Very few prices are marked so you are at Gina's mercy when you approach her check out. She's very hard nosed and will not haggle. This certainly isn't fun as the name "Fun Sales" implies. Unlike the other one star reviews I will not attack the owner's character. I did not find her to be rude. She's just very very kurt. I don't wish to hurt het business with this review, but I think if she really saw how her competition operates, i.e. most of them offer 50% off on the last day, most will bargain with you and give you a deal if you bring a stack of stuff to the checkout, and many will chat with you. Gina heard me talking about the provenance of the sale and asked in a very condescending tone if I had read the sale description. Oh yes. I also noticed her sales are not listed on websites like GSalr.com or estatesales.org like her competitors. Is there a reason? And why the name change from Every Little Thing to Fun Sales? Perhaps it is one business to do estate liquidation and another to conduct the sales. From a marketing perspective it's confusing. My suggestion is that this outfit should take this critique to heart. I was not the only one leaving nearly empty handed or grumbling on the way out the door. We have other choices and right now they seem much more appealing.

That's when Pete turned a problem into an opportunity, a gift of his. Not only could he deal with my time-line. He found a way to incorporate about 90% of the things I wanted to sell into another sale he already had scheduled. He consulted a series of specialists for artwork, decorative arts, furniture, formal tableware and entertaining pieces to estimate value and carefully moved everything, and that means a lot, to the location of his upcoming sale. His promotion brought in both lookers and dealers and after three days (Friday, Saturday and Sunday), he and his team sold almost everything. The few things that didn't sell were donated to appropriate organizations. His energy and innovative thinking deserve every one of the 5 stars I gave him.

We agreed from the get-go that storage was a short-term solution, and we did not want it to become a third home filled with stuff that would reside there indefinitely. We knew we needed to sell our locker of items, but we have neither the time nor patience for selling everything ourselves via Marketplace or whatever. So I proposed finding an estate seller to do the work for us. I contacted a dozen or so estate sellers, but most were only interested in high-value items/antiques, or were not interested because we weren't selling out of our own residence. One of the people I inquired with referred me to Pete at Alameda Estate Sales. I called him, explained that we're not selling anything exceptionally valuable, but have a storage locker's worth of furniture and housewares that we need help getting rid of. Pete was interested, and explained his process to me. I agreed to work with him, he sent me a contract to review, and a few days later he met us at our storage locker to sort through our items and collect what he thought would sell. The estate sale was scheduled for a few weeks later, out of a private residence where our items would be combined with other sellers'. The agreement was we could pick up whatever items of ours didn't sell afterward. Pete sent over a spreadsheet tracking our sales, which was helpful. After the estate sale weekend, he sent me my 50% of the sale revenues via Zelle. Easy peasy. If you want to keep all your sale profits, which is certainly your prerogative, I'd go that aforementioned Marketplace route, or a yard sale. For me, my time and convenience matter more, so I was happy to split the profits 50/50 and let an estate seller do the work. Would recommend Pete at Alameda Estate Sales. He was friendly and made the process simple. We may use him again in the future when we get ready for our next move.
