Thunderbird Estate Sales, through Bill Lujan's hard work, is an excellent company. After my…read morebrother-in-law passed away, Bill organized and held an estate sale for all the many amazing things my brother-in-law had collected during his life. Bill was very responsive when I texted or called with questions. The Estate sale went well, and Bill was prompt with paying us the balance due after his fees. Bill also organized an auction for the many guns my brother-in-law had collected. It went well, and again, Bill was prompt with payment. He also hooked us up with a gun store in Albuquerque that could arrange to mail 3 rifles my husband wanted from his brother's collection to a local gun store near us. I highly recommend Thunderbird Estate Sales if you need that sort of service! Thank you, Bill! Nancy M

When challenging circumstances necessitated the prompt and respectful liquidation of household…read moreeffects from my late father's cherished home, our trusted real estate agent, Jean Chavez, provided an invaluable recommendation: "A Touch of Class Estate Sales by Don." From our very first interaction, our experience with their team, particularly with Kim, was nothing short of exceptional. Kim not only demonstrated an impressive degree of politeness and unwavering professionalism but also exhibited profound knowledge and clear expertise regarding the intricate estate sale process. We were especially grateful for Kim's remarkably swift turnaround in conducting the initial comprehensive walkthrough of the home, which efficiently determined the feasibility and scope of the sale. Moving forward with their services was seamless, underscored by a transparent and equitable 60/40 split agreement, which instilled immediate confidence. Subsequently, the dedicated team from "A Touch of Class" meticulously handled every detail, from the precise pricing of each item to the artful staging of the entire collection. Their efficient, respectful, and thoroughly professional approach to preparation was truly remarkable, culminating in a highly successful and well-attended three-day estate sale. We were profoundly impressed by their adept capability to manage the entire complex process with such a high degree of expertise, sensitivity, and organizational finesse. We wholeheartedly and confidently recommend "A Touch of Class Estate Sales by Don" to any individual or family requiring reliable, compassionate, and supremely professional estate sale assistance during what can often be a very difficult period.

Same family decided to use him to help clean a house (note tenant is NOT deceased), and David told person picked by tenant be in charge of the clean not part of project or stay out of the project. (went against tenant terms, defined under State Law of New Mexico). CLEARLY he is not expert in doing the clean-out tasks, especially not aware with state law of New Mexico with living peoples. Mightt be heavily reliant on handout from auction sales Because I could not find public record of momentary distribution from auction which is taxable by IRS.

Ester helped me organize clean-out. On the pick-up day, it was chaotic but kind of fun. I was helping people move things around and got to hear some of their stories about why they wanted to buy certain things. Most of the buyers were professional resellers, so they were professional. We sold more than we thought. I think some of the items were grossly underpriced, BUT it was worth it to quickly downsize my dad's estate. If I had sold each item on Ebay I would have made 10x more money with 10x more effort and time. Ester was very communicative throughout the whole process as their admin. I would definitely suggest that if you want to downsize fast, these are the people to call.

I originally signed the contract in June, and was not told that I would have to wait months, incurring storage fees for the estate during the time. I had to move everything out of my Mother's house in late July because the gated community where she previously lived, Tanoan, did not allow estate sales. I was sent an abrupt text message a few days ago informing me that for unknown reasons, Talbott Auctions would not be able to handle the estate sale. This was quite a shock, since I was looking forward to liquidating the estate and closing the book on my Mom's move and relocation into a retirement home. I had previously brought to their storefront 10 heavy boxes of books that I had hoped would be included in the estate sale. I was told that I needed to provide an address where they could be delivered. Now the boxes are sitting on my front porch and I am not sure where to store them, since all of my garage space is taken up. This is very disappointing to me and my three siblings since we have virtually no time to deal with this because of busy work and family schedules. I am sorry that I didn't do more research about alternate estate sale companies/consignment stores.
