The conversation developed because he saw we were packing to move, and he informed us of his bigger operation as an estate service. He was very kind, friendly, and honest about everything. A great conversationalist, we agreed to let him handle our estate for several reasons. The main ones being his service would handle the marketing, showings, and LEGALISMS of selling a property with minimal involvement from us. Secondly they would take care of the valuables with a dedicated sale, and see to it that everything else would go to the charity or donation business of our choice (we went with Goodwill). Finally, they would take care of the cleanup/clean-out of the entire property inside & out, prep it for the buyer, and make sure the closing went smoothly for us (a GIANT bonus considering our age & health issues). We were handed some hurdles in late 2023 during the sale period unfortunately. The HIGH interest rates and an uncertain world situation hit the housing sector HARD. That didn't deter Kort and his team whatsoever thankfully. With investors pulling out of the market en-masse, Kort was able to find several other buyers for us to pick from, with nearly no delay. There were factors on OUR end that made things even harder for him to line things up (age & condition of our property), but again they handled it all without so much as a peep of protest or reluctance. In the end he was able to find a cash buyer for us, organized & setup all the various inspections, and the final couple of weeks were a whirlwind of success! Im not sure if a 'typical' real estate agent would've been able to do what he & his team did honestly... and certainly wouldn't have been there to respond to EVERY SINGLE little question, text msg, call, etc. A great experience, an amazing guy & team, and we couldn't recommend higher.

Also, the financial aspect of dealing with cash requires the utmost in honesty. I'm so relieved to have found EstateSalesAZ! My parent's house was VERY full of everything collected over the lifetime of having a family. A husband who loved audio/video equipment and enjoyed having every tool and power equipment. A wife with hobbies and a hesitancy to throw anything away. The home was wall to wall with furniture and household items. An estate sale seemed overwhelming and we knew we needed to find an estate sale company. After interviewing 5 different types of estate sale companies which included online auctions, in-person auctions, consignment sale companies, buy-outright companies, and traditional estate sale companies...we carefully decided to hire EstateSalesAZ. We were impressed with their straight-forward flat fee pricing with no hidden costs. Other companies wanted to nickel and dime for every small item...not this company! Everything was included in their flat fee...credit card transaction fees, handling donations, garbage removal, clean-out and clean-up at the end. The owner, Joe Cestaro, is efficient and high energy. He went through the whole house to sort, organize and stage. He came with all the tables, he set up quickly and it all looked amazing when ready. He was smart about prices and researched those that he didn't know. He was personable and you could tell that the customers at the sale really liked him. He ran the sale on-time each day. He advertised all over the internet and it all lead to a great turn-out. He sold items that we never thought in a million years would sell...and for prices we never believed he would get...but he did! The sale was a huge success, almost everything sold and we made more money than we ever expected. At the end of the sale, everything was out of the house...just as promised. Walking in...I couldn't believe it was vacuumed, mopped, super clean and even smelled lemon-fresh! The only negative I could comment would be that Joe had a few equipment glitches with his computer and printer but he worked around the issues and was able to fix them quickly. I also think he could have used a little more help on the first day of the sale...his advertising and signs worked almost too good...people were everywhere! But, I'd say that was a high-quality problem to have as I was happy and relieved to see the big turnout. I am a happy customer and will be telling everyone I know about my experience...one of the reasons I'm leaving this review for others to see.

Mike, his wife and their team made this transition as easy and smooth as possible. When they were setting up/staging the items, it looked like you were walking into a high end department store. They displayed everything beautifully and respected each and every item. Even during the three day sale, Mike would text or call me with updates. I am very grateful to Mike and his team.

As a seasoned estate sale shopper, I've seen it all... but nothing compares to the level of care, style, and organization this husband-and-wife team brings to every sale. Walking into one of their sales is like stepping into the pages of a perfectly curated vintage lifestyle magazine--every piece is clean, thoughtfully staged, and displayed with a designer's eye. You don't just browse; you experience. Jessica and Chris clearly love what they do, and it shows. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming, the flow is intuitive, and the pricing is fair and clearly marked. Whether it's a Mid-Century teak credenza or a retro kitchen gadget, each item is presented with respect for its history--and an eye for its next chapter. Their professionalism and warmth make you want to come back sale after sale. It's no surprise that their events draw serious collectors, casual buyers, and curious neighbors alike. Atomic Estate Sales is truly a class act, and Jessica and Chris have elevated the estate sale game to an art form. I never miss one--and if you're lucky enough to catch one, you won't either.

As I knew he would do eventually because he does it with almost every one-star review (there are so…read moremany of them!), Bo Patrick came along and whined that he had somehow been mistreated by clients deeply unhappy with his service. Our contract with Fidelity stated that the sale would include artwork. It did not specify oil paintings. We did ask Fidelity to auction artwork, and all the artwork we wanted to offer for sale was photographed weeks ahead of the auction by Fidelity's employees or agents. To be clear: WE DID NOT ALLOW FIDELITY TO PHOTOGRAPH FOR THE AUCTION ANY ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS OR ADVERTISE THEM FOR SALE ON THEIR WEBSITE. In his reply to my original review, Bo claims that "The day before the auction [my family] removed $20,000 in artwork and now you are upset because we charged you a commission to do that but that's exactly what the contract allows us to do." First of all, it's quite a shock to read that we owned artwork worth $20,000, because that's not what Bo told us at the time. He gave us a much more modest assessment of the paintings' value. Second, regardless of the worth of the paintings, that is not what happened. I don't know if Bo's memory is so poor that he cannot recall the events of his sale with us, if he is so lazy that he did not bother to check the facts, or if he is sufficiently deficient in honesty that he doesn't care about the facts. But his account is wrong. Bo knew that the oil paintings would not be for sale. We had a Zoom meeting with him and Kelsee more than three weeks before the auction in which he tried to persuade us to let Fidelity sell the oil paintings and our father's home; thank God we never seriously entertained the idea of letting him sell the house. But we told him immediately after the Zoom meeting that we had decided against selling the oil paintings. When Bo originally talked to us about the paintings, he wanted to have an online auction, so that people all over the world could bid on them. But that never happened, because we told them weeks ahead of time that the oil paintings would not be included. Again, to be clear: WE DID NOT ALLOW FIDELITY TO PHOTOGRAPH FOR THE AUCTION ANY ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS OR ADVERTISE THEM FOR SALE ON THEIR WEBSITE. You cannot believe anything Bo says. He whines that he "had buyers from all around Arizona and other states drive-in for those paintings.... When they arrived, they were very upset with us as an Auction firm.... You affected our reputation that day big time." But if Bo had people traveling from out of state to bid on items we told Bo were not for sale and did not let Fidelity photograph or advertise for the auction, well, that sounds very suspect to me. It is by no means our fault if Bo advertised for sale things he knew would NOT be for sale. We did not affect his reputation--HE did. If people were upset with him that day, it is entirely his fault. Bo won in our lawsuit against Fidelity not because the contract let him charge a commission (the judge agreed that it was a very badly written contract and did not redound to Bo's favor) but because, as I stated before, at the hearing, the judge allowed one and only one witness to speak: Bo's partner Kelsee Wirtjes. Please read my original review to see what happened next. In the time since I posted my original review, Fidelity has received two more five-star reviews, but three more one-star reviews. Their previously poor rating is even worse now--and it's entirely their own fault. The crucial point remains the one with which I concluded my original review: Why would you hire an estate sale company who is so disliked by most people who have hired it? Learn from our mistakes. Stay away from Bo Patrick. Don't believe his unctuous denials. However much he tries to shift the blame for his bad reviews to the people foolish enough to hire him, the fact nonetheless remains that most people who hire him to run an estate sale are extremely unhappy with his services.

My husband and I are managing my father-in-law's estate, from California. No easy task! I contacted SES to help us with an estate sale. Initially, we plan to meet with Sara at my father-in-law's home, but Sara was not available as she was managing a family health crisis. In spite of that, Sara's daughter Karissa arrived to assess everything and prepare for an estate sale. Karissa was on time, very professional, very knowledgeable, and very helpful. Unfortunately, we found out later that we would not be able to hold a traditional estate sale in the Sun City Grand development. Karissa helped us with a workaround to sell artwork specifically, in an a sale at her residence nearby. Karissa provided art expert's to help price artwork we were unfamiliar with. She and her team showed tremendous respect for the property and for all we were going through personally. Karissa went above and beyond to be helpful, responsive and accommodating. It is my understanding, that Karissa will be taking over SES in the near future. You'll be in very capable hands. I highly recommend SES.
