My Mother recently passed, leaving behind a mix of Antique and Mid Century Modern Furniture, Art…read morework, Fine Silver and antiques, etc. Living in California made it all the harder to to close out a modestly large estate especially with limited time. I did my research and narrowed it down to 3 Auction/Estate Co's. One never responded, one acted like they were the oldest around and would get around to me... the 3rd was Stefek's. The were appropriately aggressive in following up and providing me the background information I needed. Their rates too were fair and competitive. They also were capable in providing clean out and cleaning services making additional trips from Los Angeles unnecessary. Their lead appraiser was on time to do the basic Estate "Market Value" appraisal. While conservative in assessing values, the manner in which she we went form room to room , drawer to drawer, and closet to closet was methodical, professional , thorough and all "business". In listening to her dictate her description of each and every item, I knew in 5 minutes I was dealing with someone very knowledgeable and professional. The following Estate Report was detailed and delivered on time. We hired them to pick up the items to be auctioned (Association rules forbade an on-site one or Sale), together with allowing their Team to also pick up those items more appropriate for the Salvation Army ( which Stefek's delivered for us too) and had their cleanup crew go in to clean the Apartment so we could deliver the Townhouse in as good a State as possible. Their Delivery and cleanup charges were reasonable, fair and competitive. The landlord was impressed and we are getting 100% of our security deposit returned. At all time, their crews were on time and on schedule. The Auction itself through the Live Auctioneers system was impressive to watch, returning a total in excess of what had been estimated. While I still await the final reconciliation, so far my records track theirs perfectly and everything seems to be accounted for. Their professionalism, punctuality and exactness is rare these days. I am truly happy I chose them ( I do not have unrealistic expectations as to values, and where I thought some items might be more valuable, my further research proved I was wrong). While everyone may have different expectations and standards as to values and the more important overall service to be be provided, I am an optimistic realist. Stefek's provided exactly what I needed and I am very happy I chose them. That is not to say they are 100% perfect, and no one is. Some times their response time to my emails is not as immediate and I might like. There, I may be unrealistic in my expectations, and that one issue is hardly a deal killer ! I will post again once the final reconciliation is received. But at this point, I am very happy with them and happy to be a reference at any time. Given what they do, Estate Sales involving items that can be worth a lot money. There must be a level of trust assumed from the beginning. In that regard too, I found them to be honest and forthright. I hope your experience is/was as good as mine.

Many thanks to Lori Stefek and her team, who did an amazing job some years back when my mother's…read moreplace needed to be emptied, and who are still doing the same amazing work as shown by their same treatment of my place this summer. Everything was completed and left immaculate in a matter of hours. They also sold what could be sold to dealers so that I received a partial refund on the job. What they do is priceless--when you yourself are having a hard time sorting through your possessions, whether that's because you can't let them go easily or are hung up trying to judge their value, Stefek's will take the burden off your hands and have it done including trash disposal and cleaning, all within hours. The emotional relief is absolutely worth their fee. I highly recommend Stefek's.

We found a welcoming family of experts and staff who treated us and his possessions as valued. We attended the Auction Preview for our uncle, but we had our eyes on a few other items. We learned about Oriental rugs from a longtime local expert as we noshed on good food and delightful sips. We followed and bid during the online auction, and though we didn't walk away with what we had in mind, our interest has been piqued. We will be back!

So boom, me and my girlfriend was enjoying our day minding our business having a good time together…read moreright. We saw an antique store we was like ok let's go in here and see what's this place about, so we walked in the owner had gave us a magazine for us to look at for the stuff that they have in there, so we was looking around and was enjoying what they had in their shop. I look up and they had an upstairs, so I just told my girlfriend let's go up and see what they got up there. SO LOOK me and her went up there looking around it was a few customers and 2 female workers. I was feeling some kind of a weird energy as if I was being looked at but I ignored it. But as I kept moving around I was feeling like they were deadass following me and my girl, so we split Up and they did too, to watch us and yes me and her was correct they were following us and mind you me and her are the only African Americans upstairs and out of all the people that was up there, they was with us the whole time. Soon we was about to walk down stairs I look at the female one last time specifically the one wearing all black with pants we made eye contact and she tried to play it off my looking away fast as fuck like no I saw you and I know damn well you saw me so we got up out of there and the other women was wearing black as well wearing a long dress to the knees or ankles, exact day this all happened was 9-12-26 around 1pm-4pm I hope the god there was a camera up there because IF IM LYING IM FLYING!!! This place has to go they are RACIST AS FUCK!! SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN!! Terrible first impression especially if you're skin isn't the same as theirs because I know for a fact we wasn't African Americans and was one of them they would not be all over us like that like some damn hawks. If this place is still running for some dumb ass reason "FUTURE CUSTOMERS PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE WORKERS THEY ARE WATCHING YOU WHEN YOUR NOT LOOKING!!!"

UPDATE 12-2017: Wow-not sure what to say. This place was so near and dear for so long, but I…read moredon't want to mislead you. You can't really get into that massive main building anymore, it is so packed with stuff. The outside area as well. You will have to find someone to let you into both now. Mary does though have another building down the block a bit, and this is worth checking out. My Original Review: Well, here we go-Yelp Resale Shopping: Extreme Edition!! I have a "unique" sense of decor and a refusal to cough up designer scratch for my quirky finds. This demands copious garage and estate sale-ing, flea-marketing, and thrifting, and I've gluttonously indulged these passions all across our great, junk-laden land. Seasoned as I am, one magical day some years ago I walked into a nondescript place on Schoenherr in Warren and just about passed clean out. I distinctly remember the breath being sucked out of my chest as my peepers struggled to take in the largest assemblage of objects I'd ever seen, let alone for sale. Standing there agape, my mind stuttered, its circuitry blown. Eventually the shock subsided and I was able to delve in and begin exploring. Imagine thousands of estate sales piled on top of each other as far as the eye can see. Upon entering, you'll see a ton o' things sitting outside, though the lion's share is in the building on the left. There's another one at the back right (through a fenced area) that some people don't know is part of this emporium. There are main aisles with offshoots, though many passageways that once were traversable are too clogged with stuff now to get through. Furniture, tools, art, household items, electronics, clothing, all manner of everything. As if all this is not enough, the fabulous Mary is the undisputed queen of her domain and she reigns as such. ALWAYS put things back where you got them from-she will KNOW and never forget! Nothing is priced-you either take the things to her to talk price or bring her to it if it's big. Don't haggle too much-remember who is the queen! I've seen slick dealer-types try to get over on her only to be sent packing with their tail between their legs amidst a torrent of verbal abuse! Though Mary is a quirky character of a certain age, she's smart as a whip and takes no crap. Tax is figured in her head after you agree on a price, and be ready with a figure from jump-she often starts by asking what you want to pay. She often is very fair though, and I've found some wonderful treasures here for a steal. I adore this woman. When I was younger, Mary would sometimes make me tell her why I needed a particular item and if my reason wasn't up to snuff she'd say "What do you need this for save your money!" and refuse the sale! Once I was browsing in the sun at her place when I suddenly began to faint for real, an unknown side effect of some meds I was on. This was before cell phones, so she had me stay there with her til I felt well enough to drive home. Spending several hours with Mary in her palace o' stuff is something I shan't soon forget, and I'll always be grateful for her kindness. After caring for me all day, she said "Don't tell anybody I was nice I'll get a bad reputation!" Normally I would not think twice about giving this junky wonderland five stars, as I'd easily road trip across many states to experience this gem and here it is in our backyard. The only drawback is the ever-growing olfactory assault. Along with some serious musty smells, she has taken to feeding area cats and the liquid emitted therefrom has permeated certain areas to the point that I'm worried some of the stuff is unsellable. For years I've kept this place a closely guarded secret-for a long time there was no signage out front at all. So there ya go-if you're up for adventure, here's a wild corner of the world.
