    Do they only buy, or do they sell the things they've liquidated to the general public?

    I can't recommend Sorted Estates highly enough. Amy, Felicia, and their entire team were absolutely…read moreamazing helping us clear out my late father's home in San Francisco. My brother and I had been trying to figure out what to do with the house for months, and from the first time I met with them, I felt like we were in good hands. One of the things that initially made me feel comfortable choosing Sorted was knowing that they've been through this themselves. They've been in our shoes and understand how difficult and emotional it can be to go through a parent's home and belongings. That really came through in the way they approached everything. They were incredibly organized, responsive, thoughtful, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. What really stood out was how much care they showed toward my dad's belongings. They took the time to understand what might be meaningful to our family, found good homes for so many of his things, and made sure anything they thought we might want was put aside for us. It never felt like they were simply there to empty a house. They handled all the logistics, donations, coordination, and final clear-out, which took an enormous amount of stress off of us. When they were finished, the house was completely cleared and ready for us to move on to the next step. Amy and Felicia are also just genuinely wonderful people. They made a difficult process so much easier than I expected it to be, and I'm incredibly grateful we found them. They completely exceeded our expectations. I've already been recommending Sorted Estates to everyone I can, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend them to anyone dealing with an estate or family home.

    I was so pleased with the work that the Sorted Estates team did for me. They handled everything…read more(top to bottom) with closing out my father's home.

    My family and I highly recommend Alameda Estate Sales after working with them to empty a family…read morehome in Alameda last month. It's great to support a small local business, and Pete and his team are friendly and great communicators during the process. Pete is very thorough and spent hours organizing and sorting 60 year's worth of items and researching their value. In addition to the actual sale days, they also list items online to pre-sell, contact local buyers, sell on ebay, and keep items on consignment to sell later- basically doing everything they can to sell for you. They do a great job after the sale as well, donating as much as they can so as little as possible gets thrown out. Pete will also haul away when needed, and handle any curbside pickups. Lastly, we really appreciate how part of their business model is a willingness to take on smaller jobs (they do this by sometimes combining sales into one location), allowing them to service different types of needs, including many clients the larger estate sale companies might refuse.

    Peter has anger issues. This is the 2nd time I've been to one of his sales and the 2nd time I've…read moreseen him snap at an employee in the middle of the sale. It was awkward to watch and then- when I went to check out, it got worse. I went to the reg with 3 things in hand- 1 print marked $20, 1 tin marked $1, and an unmarked vintage tray. I asked about the tray- he quoted $10 bucks. Ok, cool. I asked if he would come down in price on the print- he snapped at me no. Ok, I said- I'll just go with these 2 things. He tallied things- gave me $10 for the tray as he said, and quoted $3 for the tin. I said "but it is marked $1" (which it was, in marker, on the bottom). He snapped "That's not MY dollar!"- as if I changed the price? WTF? So I said I'd skip the tin. I started to ask about some drawers he had in the house, and he blew his top and said the price is the price and that there is no haggling at estate sales. Well, Peter- not yours, for sure, but then post signage, please, as many of the other sales in town have CLEARLY STATED POLICIES posted. So I looked at him stunned by his blowup, and then started to change my mind about the tray- which he then yanked out of my hands and put behind the register, and then he IGNORED ME to snap at other people trying to pay. I stepped behind the other people to get back in line to purchase the tray because I DID like it and it is unique. Once he finished with the other people, he picked up the tray and the tin, shoved them at me and told me to take them and go away. I said I didn't want to not pay and again, he had moved on to other people. So I paid him via Venmo. And he looked surprised. You might treat people like shit, Peter, but I paid for what I purchased. If you hate dealing with people, and hate the business, maybe you shouldn't profit from the FAMILIES OF DEAD PEOPLE, PETER.

    On behalf of our family, I want to thank Kevin, Vicky and the entire staff for a job well done…read more They turned an insurmountable task with 56 years of accumulations into a successful event. After calling other estate sale companies we decided on The YES Co. We are glad we did as they did not disappoint doing our sale. They exuded expertise and effort in all the aspects including organizing, advertising, pricing, customers, etc. Since we lived out of the area we were glad Kevin kept us informed constantly through regular emails with photos, It was a great comfort to our family that our mother's life long possessions were handled and displayed in a dignified manner. Seeing is believing. They did everything they said they would. The financial results were also most rewarding and the house was left cleanly condensed. The YES Co does what they promise!

    I would like to take this opportunity to express my greatest appreciation to Kevin and the team…read morethrough the process of liquidating my parents' estate this past weekend. My parents were in the home for over 60 years and there were multiple surprises; the team separated those items for my review including items that had value and significance that were stashed away. My parents were merchants and in retirement had worked for a competitor estate sale company for over a decade where my father provided me with his (fatherly) advice to choose a compant with integrity. Kevin Black and his team showed integrity. The entire process took about six weeks where Kevin provided a balance between empathy and reality on execution of a successful sale in 2026. Kevin managed my expectations and the results were in line with his predictions. Kevin outlined what the strategy would be over the four-day sale and provided updates at each step. I see the critical success factors in this experience are as follows: Knowledge: A realistic approach on how to market and liquidate a large quantity and variety of goods in 21 hours over 4 days. Team: I was present for some of the preparation time and the team was extremely hard working and collaborative with one another to assemble and collate the merchandise for a coherent presentation. I feel like the team was there to maximize the return for the client. Marketing: Kevin is a master at marketing through all channels. For the items that could be challenging for effective sale over a weekend, he offered alternative solutions that I agreed to and was pleased with the results. Presentation: The initial opening of the sale, goods were effectively displayed and highlighted. Throughout the sale, as items sold, there was an executed strategy to bring the next items to the forefront. Communication: I wanted to give Kevin the space he needed to execute without being a high maintenance client and his updates put me at ease. As far as results, the proceeds were two times what I anticipated, no complaints from the neighbors, and the house was left in the condition promised. Kevin is the ultimate estate sale ringmaster from initiation to final clean-up.

    I'd give six stars here if I could. Liquidating our father's estate was a heart-breaking process,…read morebut it was sooo much easier with Alexis Estate Sales managing it. Shiloh was knowledgeable, compassionate, and incredibly efficient. She prepared us for what to expect, knew how to price things, and fielded multiple requests to accommodate last-minute changes. She transformed what felt like an overwhelming task into something orderly, organized, and manageable. Her team of experts allowed us to get the best possible prices and make good decisions about next steps. I can't imagine having done this without her.

    Shiloh Elias was recommended to me by my San Francisco real estate agent to organize an estate sale…read moreof a large number of original artworks and mid-century furniture. She arrived for our appointment within a few days of initial contact, carefully inspected and photographed all the pieces, and discussed the estate sale process and what her company offers. We scheduled two sales, one for friends of the family and the second for the public. She worked with her resources to fairly price all the items, and engaged a professional buyer to prepurchase much of the furniture. She negotiated excellent prices, and the buyer moved the large and heavy items out at their expense saving us the effort and cost and opening up the space to showcase the art. On the three sale days, she provided masks for those who didn't have them, managed the flow through the rooms, collected money and sales tax, and was a knowledgeable resource to the buyers about the artist, art, and home furnishings. The sale was very successful leaving only a few items unsold. We received an itemized account within a week and a check for the net proceeds by Certified Mail. Shiloh is very professional, cooperative, and friendly. She communicates very well. It was a pleasure to work with someone who "gets it all right," and is highly organized. The sale could not have gone any better. I give Shiloh and Alexis Estate Sales my highest recommendation!
