Extremely pleased. Here's the short version why, followed by a long one…read more.. SHORT VERSION ---- Our situation: a cluttered 3-bedroom home in a different state that needed to be handled. Ideally, of course, we sell and donate what we can-but even just the clearing out aspect was looking like a nightmare logistically, financially... not to mention time... not to mention STRESS. True to their name and promise, Stress Free Estate Services truly handled it all. Quick, communicative, under budget & ahead of schedule. In fact, I feel so strongly about my recommendation, I feel compelled to write a long version for the benefit of anyone who is in the same place I was before we chose to go with Dennis... LONG VERSION ---- When I found/called Dennis, I was surrounded by notebook pages and spreadsheets full of quotes and timelines, becoming increasingly overwhelmed trying to do everything myself. (Everything from dumpster people, to donation people, to cleaning people, to scores of potential buyers, AKA randos, on several buy/sell apps). It was a classic, "There's got to be a better way!" Quick search online, and I found Dennis. I feared a company called "Stress Free Estate Services," with a website claiming to provide EVERY service I was trying to handle on my own, might be too good to be true. There's a level of trust inherent in this kind of arrangement, trust that was earned after the fact by outstanding work. The better I can describe our positive experience, the more I can hopefully shorten what can feel like a leap of faith-especially in a situation like ours, where we were out of state, a bit overwhelmed, and, honestly, a bit reeling, trying to do it all on our own. It's a vulnerable place to be. The service was as good as advertised. My only regret is that I didn't find Dennis earlier. I could have saved weeks of work and worry-as it is, he saved me months of the same. I was far enough along in the process to be able to compare Stress Free Estate Services with quotes I received from all the different parties which would have been required to do it on my own. Even if Dennis had not sold anything, his up-front cost was still less than it would have cost to clear out the house on my own. But he did sell-quite a bit. Enough that a check is in the mail. We are RECEIVING more money than it would have COST to do it on our own. Amazing value-even before you account for TIME/ENERGY saved and STRESS avoided. The only thing Dennis can't compete with is some idealized version of what doing it myself could have looked like. (I was far along enough in the process to know.) Even if I could have made it my full time job to try to get top dollar for every item in a cluttered house, the reality of my earnings would have failed to meet what I instinctually felt things were worth. The endowment effect is reel... And buyers will not pay to cover the sentimental value I'd helplessly fold into my pricing. The only way to counteract this? Have someone else do it. Someone who knows how. Make it back in time saved. Stress saved. Ultimately, even in the money earned-because I do not know how to do this on my own (not well, anyway). And I couldn't have made it my full time job. I wasn't even in the same state. We needed the house cleared-whatever could be donated, donated, and whatever could be sold, sold. Dennis solved all these problems, on budget and ahead of schedule. Now we can sell the house. Stress-free, indeed! Very grateful!

They uncovered so much more than we realized was even there because things were buried deep everywhere (especially the basement). Kristen, Kim, Vinnie, Roberta and the staff worked their tails off getting this ready and during the sale days; they really needed more time than they could give (they are a much requested business!), there was 70 years of accumulated clothing, books, tools, movies, handcrafted furniture/rugs/quilts/embroidery/afghans etc, collectibles too lengthy to list, and the WOOD, omg!! Three sheds and a cellar chuck full of tools, equipment, yard furniture, boating, Legos and so much more. They held auctions on many items, showed videos of electric scooter & wheelchair and of the entire house; their marketing of a sale gets 100%! We can't say enough good things about this company; so pleasant and friendly, helpful to work with. They left the house in good shape for us to have someone come in and take whatever was left out (they sold a LOT, but there was still a lot left that no one wanted) and will be cleaning the property to get it ready for sale. I might mention that the Sisters also offer a cleanout service, but we felt they had done more than enough and were totally exhausted at the end of this sale! It did very well, and was worth every penny they got, and my uncle got enough to help his funds in the rest home. We can't thank you ladies (and gentlemen, thanks so much Vinny for all the dirty work!) enough, and will recommend you to anyone who is looking for help liquidating a home. K. Hanson, R. Broderick and family Lynn/Saugus Mass

Major flakes. Some friends in Contoocook and in Bradford…read morehighly recommended these people for selling all the stuff in an estate, so we contacted them. First, they were too lazy to come look at the 5 generations' collections of antiques and collectibles we had in this large house that's been in the family since 1850. They insisted we take pictures instead. So I wasted a bunch of time and took about 100 pictures that took up about 400 MB. Obviously way too big to email. I wasted a lot more time trying to find some way to post them somewhere on the internet. I finally gave up in frustration with trying to send them the pictures. I sent them an email and said they need to come look at the house and its contents, and quit playing games with the pictures. No response. We would never try again to do business with these flakes, and we recommend that others avoid them.
