I was contacted by this organization when looking for help with an estate sale. After providing…read morepictures of what I have I let them know that another organization was coming onsite and asked if they wanted to as well. The reply I got was that "we are not interested in competing with other Estate company's for your sale. I know this might seem a little arrogant but our company is very sought after and have a lot of people wanting us to help them." Arrogant indeed, I'm recently widowed and I wanted help so I was doing my due diligence by talking to more than just one company. Apparently good judgement will not be tolerated by Rare Finds.

My Daughter and I recently went to a David Johnson Estate sale after not having been for over a…read moreyear & 1/2 and we were every bit as pleased as we have been at other sales that he has conducted. The atmosphere was warm, with a courious energy, the house well staged, and the prices very fair. There is always such a unique flavor to his sales that we can't find anywhere else. I have to address the impecable staging! It just puts you in the mood to hunt, dig, explore, poke around, and shop! Most importantly, it transfers you into the world of the homewoner and makes you forget your own life for a while. It's a wonderful feeling and I have never found any other estate sale company that has the ability to do that for me. He and his staff are always so kind and helpful. Often there is music playing that sets the stage as well. The temperature is good and there's an electric buzz in the air becuase we love to see the excitement of the faces of other shoppers too! He really does everything he can to make it a good experience for customers, and most importanly, for HIS CLIENTS! My daughter and I just LOVE David's sales not just for the wonderful items, but for the entire expeirence.

****DO NOT USE THESE GUYS!**** I went to them at the…read morerecommendation of my father's ex-wife. Mark, one of the owners, lives 3 house down from my dad's ex-wife. He knew my father personally and promised to do the best job for my families heirloom pieces. Although a very personable guy, Mark, his partner Dwayne, and the rest of the team, did the worst possible effort I have ever imagined. Hey waited til the last min to list items at auction and had poor results. They had zero security at our very large sale. My family had very old items and this team allowed items to be stolen, rendering items worthless. Items were way overpriced and when offers were presented, not one person contacted me to discuss the offers. Items that were marked as "Not for sale", were either sold or stolen. Damage was done to the home and new construction. We opted for the after sale clean out, and then team basically threw away almost everything left over. I also found items in an employees garage and honestly have no idea if they just took what they want or paid for them. There was no invoice showing sales on items. When I got paid, they showed their pay, their credit card charge fees, clean out charge, and my portion. Because there is not proof of sales, I was JUST TOLD what they were. After the sale, I had angry customers showing up at the house, mad because 4 Seasons doesn't answer their phones and the customer needed a title for a boat. The employees wanted pass on messages to the customer about a title. Say What?! I felt like I was taken for a ride, so I attended an estate sale by Lionheart the day after our sale. Lionheart had security in literally every room, garage, porch, and entry. They had collectable items located near the checkout tables to be watched and managed. The flow was impressive and I cant imagine they allowed items of value to be stolen. ****AGAIN...I STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST USING THIS COMPANY!! You have been warned!

They went into areas that we told the owners were off limits. They broke a board on our deck and didn't try to replace it. I was VERY DISSATISFIED with this company.

I was very disappointed with the trip that we took for absolutely nothing and we got back to the car and checked the craigslist ad and it had no mention of it being over at 1:00 . I really think that if you were going to use them you should really think about it because it didn't appear like it was something that I would want to have anything to do with anyway that's my POV.

We were sad to learn that the owner had just passed away the week before but we got to speak to the son of the owner who was really nice and very knowledgeable. We picked up a cool looking piano bench for a killer price which we will be painting to match our living room decor. They accept credit cards/debit cards so this was a huge plus for us since we rarely carry cash. What a score!!
