He showed up at the appointed time and later made us a reasonable offer. He and his assistant returned the next day to pay us, pack everything up and take it away. They worked hard and very efficiently over several hours. Rob clearly is very experienced and knows how to do this correctly, and he and Dominique couldn't have been more professional, helpful and pleasant throughout. It was a completely positive experience. I wouldn't hesitate to use Rob's services again and would/will enthusiastically recommend him to anyone.

I hired Clark's to liquidate my mothers estate. I was impressed with how quickly they categorized…read moreand photographed the items to be sold. I was treated with respect and kindness. This was very much appreciated as it is emotional and overwhelming to liquidate a loved ones belongings. I was very pleased with the online auction results as almost everything was sold. Items were quickly picked up within a few days of the close of the auction. Patty and Ed are the best! They were professional and highly organized. I would not hesitate to recommend Clark's Auction Company!

Horrible, deceptive scammers. They gave a 1 day turnaround to arrange shipping for winning bids,…read moreand their "recommended shippers" quoted an extortionate $400-1400 to ship 1-2 boxes of clothing. Though I reached out to try and come to a resolution, the auction house refused to help or accommodate at all, leaving me no reasonable way to actually get my items. Updating my review after finally getting notice my items have been shipped: What should have been a straightforward transaction turned into a 3-week ordeal just to get my purchases shipped. Despite the auction house insisting that my items would require multiple large boxes (and implying extremely high shipping costs), an independent shipper was ultimately able to pack everything into a single 20" box. This directly contradicts the information I was given and raises serious concerns about the accuracy, or intent, of their "recommended shippers" and guidance. Additionally, the lack of support throughout the process was unacceptable. When I reached out for help navigating shipping, I was met with refusal, dismissal, and eventually blocked from communication altogether. I am a frequent auction buyer and have never had such an issue before. Being blocked instead of assisted when trying to resolve a legitimate issue reflects extremely poor customer service, not a difficult customer. I was aware of the timeline for shipping and contacted all of the recommended shippers in advance to get quotes, but did not get responses until after the auction. What I was not aware of was that your recommended shipping process would involve quotes that were wildly inflated and inconsistent with reality. My clothing business processes hundreds of packages per week, so I'm extremely familiar with what things should cost to ship. This was not a matter of "circumstances within my control", it was a matter of inaccurate information, lack of transparency, and refusal to help once the sale was complete. Bidders beware, and sellers should take their business elsewhere.

Stacey, the appraiser arrived on time, was thorough, accurate, and professional. Even though I said I wasn't in a hurry, I had the appraisal just three days later. I would absolutely use Abba Appraisal again. They made the whole appraisal easy.

Steve V was responsive and able to support a quick turnaround on an urgent home appraisal…read more The appraisal was thorough (46pg!), accurate (nice to see the layout details captured as it would surprise you the number of other people who miss them), and offered many details and supporting information to make a clear argument for the value of the home. While we're clearly not professional appraisers, the appraised value was spot on to where we expected based on our knowledge of the market...and we even learned a number of things about our property / local market based on the report. We highly recommend Steve V @ ABBA Appraisals as it is unclear to us what else we could expect as the appraisal exceeded the detail of other reports we've read.
