They took on our job of cleaning out and selling our parents extra things after their deaths eventhough it was a huge amount of work for them and incredibly overwhelming for us. They went the extra mile even in recommending buyers for our grand piano when they would not profit from it at all. They also found some sentimental treasures that Mary brought to us instead of selling when she knew it would mean so much. In the end, the home was totally cleaned out and ready for us to move forward. Thank you for making the whole process a simple and sweet experience. We highly recommend them to anyone!

I contacted Rose, the owner of State48EstateSales. She came over to see what I needed and I liked her immediately. Rose was there each day supervising and working very hard, though the helpers seem to know what they were doing. The purpose of this estate sale was to completely empty out the house with as little work for me as possible. I'm on the senior side and was in the hospital just a few weeks before. This is the second time I have used this method to empty a home. Rose and her company did a great job and managed to work around me. I would use them again if need be.

As I knew he would do eventually because he does it with almost every one-star review (there are so…read moremany of them!), Bo Patrick came along and whined that he had somehow been mistreated by clients deeply unhappy with his service. Our contract with Fidelity stated that the sale would include artwork. It did not specify oil paintings. We did ask Fidelity to auction artwork, and all the artwork we wanted to offer for sale was photographed weeks ahead of the auction by Fidelity's employees or agents. To be clear: WE DID NOT ALLOW FIDELITY TO PHOTOGRAPH FOR THE AUCTION ANY ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS OR ADVERTISE THEM FOR SALE ON THEIR WEBSITE. In his reply to my original review, Bo claims that "The day before the auction [my family] removed $20,000 in artwork and now you are upset because we charged you a commission to do that but that's exactly what the contract allows us to do." First of all, it's quite a shock to read that we owned artwork worth $20,000, because that's not what Bo told us at the time. He gave us a much more modest assessment of the paintings' value. Second, regardless of the worth of the paintings, that is not what happened. I don't know if Bo's memory is so poor that he cannot recall the events of his sale with us, if he is so lazy that he did not bother to check the facts, or if he is sufficiently deficient in honesty that he doesn't care about the facts. But his account is wrong. Bo knew that the oil paintings would not be for sale. We had a Zoom meeting with him and Kelsee more than three weeks before the auction in which he tried to persuade us to let Fidelity sell the oil paintings and our father's home; thank God we never seriously entertained the idea of letting him sell the house. But we told him immediately after the Zoom meeting that we had decided against selling the oil paintings. When Bo originally talked to us about the paintings, he wanted to have an online auction, so that people all over the world could bid on them. But that never happened, because we told them weeks ahead of time that the oil paintings would not be included. Again, to be clear: WE DID NOT ALLOW FIDELITY TO PHOTOGRAPH FOR THE AUCTION ANY ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS OR ADVERTISE THEM FOR SALE ON THEIR WEBSITE. You cannot believe anything Bo says. He whines that he "had buyers from all around Arizona and other states drive-in for those paintings.... When they arrived, they were very upset with us as an Auction firm.... You affected our reputation that day big time." But if Bo had people traveling from out of state to bid on items we told Bo were not for sale and did not let Fidelity photograph or advertise for the auction, well, that sounds very suspect to me. It is by no means our fault if Bo advertised for sale things he knew would NOT be for sale. We did not affect his reputation--HE did. If people were upset with him that day, it is entirely his fault. Bo won in our lawsuit against Fidelity not because the contract let him charge a commission (the judge agreed that it was a very badly written contract and did not redound to Bo's favor) but because, as I stated before, at the hearing, the judge allowed one and only one witness to speak: Bo's partner Kelsee Wirtjes. Please read my original review to see what happened next. In the time since I posted my original review, Fidelity has received two more five-star reviews, but three more one-star reviews. Their previously poor rating is even worse now--and it's entirely their own fault. The crucial point remains the one with which I concluded my original review: Why would you hire an estate sale company who is so disliked by most people who have hired it? Learn from our mistakes. Stay away from Bo Patrick. Don't believe his unctuous denials. However much he tries to shift the blame for his bad reviews to the people foolish enough to hire him, the fact nonetheless remains that most people who hire him to run an estate sale are extremely unhappy with his services.

My tenant passed away and none of his heirs wanted anything to do with the items that remained in the house. I was left with all sorts of challenges and some incredibly unique items the tenant had used to run his business. Travis did an amazing job of sorting, preparing the home, merchandizing the items and doing considerable research into the value. When he was finished with the estate sale, my home was left clean, I received a detailed list of the item sold and their values and a cashiers check. Travis exceeded all my expectations and I'm grateful for his help. It was a challenge doing all of this from out of state and he did a wonderful job. Thank you, Travis.

I can't say enough great things about this estate sale company. Travis and his team are absolutely…read moretop-notch. Unlike many companies out there, they run their sales in a way that is not only highly organized but also realistic and fair with pricing. You can tell they put a lot of thought and care into every detail, which makes the whole experience so much better for buyers and sellers alike. As someone who frequents many estate sales, I've learned which companies to avoid and which ones to follow, and this one is at the very top of my list. If the day ever comes when I need an estate sale handled for my family, Travis will be my first call without question. Highly recommended!

I'm sure many of you can relate to having parents who never threw ANYTHING away, and mom's house was packed from floor to ceiling, including the attic. I live in Las Vegas, so it wasn't easy to handle her affairs long distance. I contacted several auction houses to see if they would take care of the belongings. Most of them never even called me back, or, let me know they weren't interested. This was not the case with Melody Foster, General Manager of Boyd's Auctions. Once I contacted her, she called me back right away and explained all the options that were open to me. She explained the costs and services clearly, and provided a worry-free contract. I decided to have Boyd's organize, advertise, and run the Estate Sale. They were able to do this within three weeks of my calling them. After they had the Sale, Melody made sure that the entire house was totally cleared out, including the attic, and cleaned. WOW!! Now the house is "realtor ready" with a For Sale sign out front. i received a check in the mail, along with a detailed invoice of what was sold, in less than one week of the close of the sale. I cannot say enough about the professionalism and follow through of Melody, who I never even met personally. I would not hesitate to refer her to ANYONE who might need these kinds of services. They also have a location where they offer occasional auctions. It's nice to know there are still people and business out there who truly give GREAT customer service!!
