I can't add any more to the two previous reviews, because my experience was identical, with a few minor additions - like she never provided us with a detailed inventory, as she stated she would. She brought her OWN crap over to sell, even after I told her that I was not ok with that (I guess that's why she kicks you out of your own house during the sale, so you are "unaware". Her granddaughter was in my daughter's room, laying on the bed watching TV (the one that was supposed to be sold) when I came home early to see what was up. A few weeks after our sale, I viewed our realtors new listings and GO FIGURE - there was our furniture! Did she pay for it? No clue, because again, NO INVENTORY. She is a crook, and I'm happy her business went under - although now I see she built a brand-spanking new home in Florida, which is interesting because during our sale, she and Martin didn't have two pennies to rub together, as she told me. She also went on and on about her personal problems - and then pulled her "Christianity" out and sprinkled that crap around. I would guess that she is doing business under a different name now - she would have to, after the reviews she has received both here and on Google. This woman promised us a $10,000 estate sale profit, did not advertise it ONCE, other than the morning of on Craigslist, and told us how beautiful everything was - and we walked away with a measly $2800. When I admonished her for that, she said "Well, everything you own is so dated, nobody wanted it.".....right....a 4 year old dining room set that was purchased for $15K that was used maybe 5 times was dated and not wanted.....there's a special place in HE## for people like Amanda Galicia.... read more

After meeting Amanda on the phone, I introduced her via email to a few real estate people. I have been a part of BNI and networking groups for years (owned a downsizing / concierge biz for 12) and have NEVER referred to someone PRIOR to using them but I did with Amanda. We are downsizing from a home to a 5th wheel so we can travel to promote my published books. No sense in me redoing my note this is the note I sent to the realtors (total of about 12) I don't normally recommend people I haven't used yet BUT I did with Amanda (Kitten Creek Estate Sale). I just got a VERY nasty voice mail from her and would NOT recommend using her AT ALL. I now must go back to a dozen or so agent friends I've told Amanda about (due to talking about our own situation) and will certainly retract as well as post on YELP. Rather than TAKE responsibility she unloads it on a potential client. She is NOT kind, NOT patient and VERY demeaning, patronizing and condescending. I thought my husband was going to cancel on her on the phone yesterday when he got a mouth full from her. Demanding things "be worded" a certain way. IE: We needed boxes that she said to get from HER vs. Home Depot (at her cost) when I wrote and ask her when she could bring those by she said "We weren't communicating well and that I should have clarified WE didn't want HER to pack --- but this was discussed while she was here, so why would I say that? Facts are: She's said she'd bring boxes. I'm asking, "when can I get some?" This caused her to cancel going forward abruptly to assist us in July. If she can't handle ME I hardly think you'd want to trust her with a senior client or anyone else counting on help and then being dumped because they didn't "word" something the way SHE THINKS it should be worded. We go from that to attacking MY Christianity on a voice mail. Hum....how is asking for boxes SHE TOLD ME to ask for and MY Christianity tied into one another? Poor thing. This all happen AFTER I ask for references. DO NOT USE or recommend her. Sorry I said something before using her myself. Never will I do that again. Never have I done it before. #KittenCreekEstateLiquidation #EstateSaleCompany #StephenCityVA #KittenCreek #EstateSale read more

We listed our home with Cindy Greenya century 21 a little over a week ago. We sat down and came up with a list of things to do one of which was her hiring a professional stager who was kitten creek. We were very hesitant in the beginning. But when Amanda and Martin came for 2 days and transformed out home into something amazing we were sold. They did thing with our stuff and home that I could never imagine. After her 2 days she was paid for they came back to help us get ready for final pictures. She and her husband came to our home professionally but left like family. They gave 100% and then some to help make our home beautiful while still feeling like home. I would recommend them to anyone. Her eye for design is spot on and amazing. And by the way we sole our home in a week. Call them for any staging or decorating or estate needs. William and Kim Gardner read more

Kitten creek is one of the best estate sales I've even been too. I've gone to several throughout the last few years, and everything is always priced appropriately. I've read the other reviews, you can't please everyone one, but I keep seeing the same faces attending these sales week after week, so Amanda must be doing something right. I would use her services for my own home if I could, but unfortunately I just found out that she is retiring and only has one last sale. I'm going to miss these sales and wish her and her family the best read more

I just had a very similarly concerning and demeaning experience to that of the previous reviewer, Rebekah, with the Owner of Kitten Creek, LLC Amanda. The interaction occurred while my 6 year old daughter and I were visiting an Estate Sale held for a homeowner whose home is also listed for sale. Amanda's husband and apparent co-owner of Kitten Creek, Martin, offered an apology afterwards noting that Amanda was "overwhelmed" and wanting "to get out of this business" and that they were soon to be "quitting doing this altogether." I have sent a follow-on email to the VP of the real estate company associated with the home at which the estate sale was held. To say Amanda's volatility is concerning would be understating the impact to my family in today's interaction. I was verbally attacked when asking if an item was for sale. When I very calmly asked Amanda why she was being so rude, she flew off the handle and began making accusations (that I wanted to cause trouble) that were pulled out of thin air--zero basis. She then proceeded to curse at me in my daughter's presence and when asking that she refrain from such behavior, she snatched the few items from my hand and threw the items on the floor. I responded, feeling both threatened and fearful, by calling the police on Amanda. It was a horrible experience and left me shaken and my six-year old daughter crying inconsolably. Below is the letter sent regarding the incident to the listing agent: Dear : My six-year old daughter and I, moments ago, became the victims of unprovoked verbal attacks by the owner of Kitty Creek, LLC, Amanda Galicia while attending an Estate Sale at 830 Hawks Run Court SE in Leesburg Va. The verbal attacks on my daughter and me not only cause great concern, but left us fearful as well as saddened by such abhorrent behavior displayed by Ms. Galicia. Upon leaving--and as both a town resident and soon-to-be practicing attorney here in the commonwealth--I contacted the police due to my level of concern with Ms. Galicia's volatile interactions and as a result of having also witnessed her volatility in her interactions with at least three other customers in my presence. The attacks on my daughter and me did include Ms. Galicia throwing the items which I was attempting to purchase, as well as providing notice that my daughter and I were "not at Walmart." She persisted though I expressly requested her to refrain, ultimately causing my daughter to cry uncontrollably. We proceeded to leave but while doing so, Ms. Galicia continued noting that she "didn't give a shit about [me] or who [I was.] I must reiterate that Ms. Galicia's behavior was entirely unprovoked and her persisting attacks alarming. read more

I would not recommend Kitten Creek Estate Sales. The owner, Amanda, basically does not keep her word. She has a passive/aggressive way of doing business. She led our family to believe that she would do our estate sale when she actually did not want to do it. Not until I called her a week before we thought the sale was scheduled, did she tell me "well you should have known, I never sent the contract." That was the exact reason I was calling. I found her to be demeaning and condescending. read more

Disreputable. The owner came to our house to look at tools for a sale. She was repeatedly asked if there was enough to make it worth her sale in August. The sale was scheduled for October 1. She sent a contract stating if we backed out we would owe her $2000. We spent days, and hours getting everything out of the rafters and moving stuff to prepare. On September 25th I called because I was concerned I hadn't heard anything. She told me how busy she was but she would be over the following day to start preparing and we made arrangements to leave the area unlocked for her. No one saw her even come to the site but on September 27 I received an email saying she was cancelling the sale because it wasn't worth her time. She accused us of removing items. Nothing was taken out. The hours we spent arranging stuff and putting like items together. No wonder she and her business have moved so much all over the country. POOR business. And we have wasted hours and hours. Now we have to try to put everything back, We have told multiple people about the sale and that they had to wait to purchase because we signed a contract. Not a nice person. Strongly discourage anyone from considering doing business with Amana Galicia read more
