My dad passed in Texas but I live in another state, far away. when I landed in San Antonio area, Isela from Queen Bee Estate Services was there for me. Isela became my partner in many ways, to get my dad's apartment disassembled and cleaned out. She handled all items including my dad's furniture, personal items and even his weapon easily. During an incredibly difficult time emotionally, she really stepped up and beyond in the service she provided. Meeting me at my hotel, bringing papers to me and such. When things like keys or building managers were not available or working well, she showed up with extreme patience and kept me organized and supported. I was kept informed on how sale was going and enjoyed the clear ,concise financial statistics . I felt a part of every decision yet never overwhelmed. she made me feel I could relax and was in capable hands! Couldn't imagine doing it without you! Thank u Queen Bee, for the Amazing service! Would highly reccomend!-Thanks! Tina ONeill read more

They were hands down the best service I've had for my clients. They are my go to when my clients ask about an estate service. Communication is on point and they go above and beyond. Highly recommend! read more

It all comes down to doing the right thing. Is it ethically and morally acceptable to sell broken items and not refund them? Absolutely not. If it was unknown that it was broken, take the loss and do the right thing. Reputation goes a long way. I personally know people that have coordinated estate sales for many years and guess what, they're successful because they're fair. If I could give little miss "queen bee" negative stars I would. Don't waste your time dealing with her nonsense! read more

It was fun to shop at their latest estate sale. I am impressed by the fast response. I see lots of interesting stuff at the sale, and the price is very reasonable, and the service is excellent. read more

Queen Bee Estate Service exceeded my expectation! From the set up to the sale to the liquidation. Everything was a class act. I would highly recommend and would use them again if I needed to. read more

The woman who runs this business treated us in a very dishonest manner. Will will never attend another of her sales, unless it's just to warn other shoppers. We attended an estate sale in the Tanglewoods neighborhood of San Marcos on 10/20, where my adult daughter found a ton of beads in the living room, organized in small round plastic containers that were then in rectangular plastic containers that held about 15-20 of the small containers . None of the beads were marked with prices so we went to the person running the sale and asked about them. She said the beads were $1 for 5 of the small round containers. I clarified by repeating what I understood, which was 5 of the little round containers (holding up my hand in a round shape the size of the small containers). She said that was right, and that would could take any of the small containers and mix and match among the larger plastic containers. With that, my daughter spent 20-30 minutes looking through all of the bead containers, finally settling on 15 small containers. When we approached the same woman to pay, she started stammering something like, "I can't sell those," "that's not the ones I meant," "I'll ask her," (assumed this meant the owner). She typed something on her phone and then bizarely started opening the small containers and counting the beads in each one. My husband asked why she was counting them and she said the beads were 5 for a $1. We reminded her what she had told us and she said, no, that she told us 5 beads for $1. She flat out lied, dug in, and became quite rude. It was clear she screwed up somehow, but refused to acknowledge her mistake and insisted she told us 5 beads for $1. We can do better than that at Hobby Lobby, so I know that can't be what she was really selling them for. We ended up leaving empty handed. I feel sorry for anyone who uses this estate sale company because they will not have happy customers. We will never attend another Queen Bee sale because she was so awful and rude and JUST LIED. read more

Thank you Queen Bee for managing my estate sale. For me to have done it myself would've been a daunting task. Because of you I was able to move forward into my new life without worrying about how to go about releasing my belongings that I no longer had space for; or needed. I appreciate you trying to get the most you can for my items and at the same time trying to keep customers happy and coming to an happy medium. I thank you for not lowballing my treasured goods and standing firm with your price decisions. I thank you for all the hard work you and your team did at my estate sale. I would highly recommend you to all of my friends and family; and definitely will use you again when I depart my forever home. read more

Beautiful day for an estate sale. Nice house, nice items, friendly people. Just one issue. Today was 50% off but you charged me sales tax on the original price and blamed the system you are using for the extra charge. You are the system and can go in to it and click the correct box for charging sales tax on the amount of the item sold. Instead you are collecting 16.5% on all items sold on that day in the name of tax. You won't send that tax to the comptroller; you will just keep the difference which means your discount for the day was only 42.75% not 50% which is false advertisement. read more

Amazing job! So professional and goes above and beyond with all of my requests! 10/10 would recommend Isela for all of your estate sales!

I had a home that was lived in for 30 yrs plus. After moving to an assisted living I was concerned that a lifetime of treasures would be given away or donated. I had a lot of items in the house that were worth more than just sentimental value. After interviewing several estate sales companies, I chose Queen Bee Estate Services. Ms. Queen Bee (Isela) was able to answer all my question, she was very professional, listened and addressed all my concerns. She kept me in the loop at all times specially on all big ticket items. She was able to assist from cleaning the home and preparing it for the sale to boxing away the few remaining items for donation and coordinated pickup to be delivered to charity of my choice at no additional fees. Contact Queen Bee Estate Service before making a decision. read more

Somehow my original review got removed when I updated to add the response -- i'm going to add again what happened to me at a Queen Bee Estate Sale---I arrived with my daughter around 1:45 pm, online it said the sale ended at 2 PM. Almost immediately after entering, I overheard a conversation with a gentleman and trying to make an offer on an item and he was told no we don't accept offers. We have a liquidator that comes in later and gives us a price on everything that isn't sold and he removes all the items. I heard that man and another person say they felt sorry for the family because the house was completely completely still full of items. In my original review, I left the address, if I can figure out the address again, I will add it to this review. I went out to the garage and heard another gentleman tried to make an offer on an item, and he was told the same thing, I then asked the gentleman in the garage about what this liquidator was and he said that they have someone who comes in and he will give a bid on everything and not to worry because the family doesn't have to clear anything out of the house because that guy will take everything . It seemed pretty messed up because the house was completely full still of a lot of furniture and items that obviously were over priced or they still wouldn't of been there by Sunday. Even at the 50% they were giving on Sunday most items we're just not moving. I actually picked out two items from the garage and I asked the gentleman in the garage if my daughter could take them to the car when he was riding the slip. He said yes so my daughter took the two items one was a pitchfork and the other was a shovel. Both of them were priced at 15 apiece and I was to pay 7.50 apiece for each of them . I then got in line to leave as it was 2o clock-- the rest is included in the flowing which was my response to her comments that were added below. My original review was from a sale they had on Sunday 8/6/2023 and I left it minutes later----As for your taking offers, that is an outright lie and anyone who was there will tell you that-- you were telling people clearly you do not take offers and you "couldn't" but that you had a liquidator who would come in--- who is that liquidator? You responded about the butter dish putting a retail price here so please answer that . And--- as for my daughter taking the items to the car? I asked the guy in the garage if that was ok when he gave me the slip. She was already going out and he said it was fine, I handed them to her when I was 2feet from him in the garage-- truthfully in my experience normal protocol with the people who run these sales and the regulars who go to them, This was the same man you sent after me who then apologized. That house was completely full of stuff on Sunday when that sale "ended"--- the butter dish was one of many -many- many glass items by the door--- and, like I said in my honest review-- it was 2pm, and you will remember the man in front of me made an offer which you at first refused but then said " in 30 minutes we are reopening and everything will be 75% off so I'll give it to you now"-- that was the ONLY reason I then picked up the butter dish and asked if you would give me the same courtesy since I was paying for 2 items already - just so I would not need to come back in 30 minutes for a butter dish I didn't need. You had already announced everyone needed to leave by 2. I'm sure that liquidator got a good deal--I wish I had taken pictures. read more
