They took great care to make sure items were priced accordingly but not to high and were always negotiable on large ticketed items. Employee were very helpful. The staging and placement of items was brilliant. The left overs were donate. And our mom,s place was completely cleared out. We were paid more than I expected within hours of the end of the Estate Sales in cash. Highly recommend this place. Cash only!

I've now had experiences with Direct both buying and selling, and overall they are a great outfit…read more First, after only a couple of visits, people made a point to know my name. To the extent that when I returned to pickup my item they apologized for not remembering my last name! I didn't even know the worker's first name! Class act. The auctions are fun. Ok maybe not "fun" but they can be interesting to the right crowd. So much retail is moving online it's nice to find a place that combines the two. So as a seller you still get the benefit of a wide potential customer base but as a buyer you get some camaraderie in the audience. They even bring in free pizza - the auction goes for hours! Always a nice mix of items. Generally high end but some items can still be picked up for a bargain - particularly the larger items that are difficult to ship

I used to like this business. I might've even given them a great review. Not any more. Of the last…read more3 items I left with them, and that they enthusiastically accepted for their auction, they LOST all 3 of them. They eventually found 2 of the 3-because I emailed often, stopped by sometimes and generally badgered them to find my lost stuff. It took 6 month to find this really cool one-of-a-kind framed item, and that only because I was demanding that they pay me for it, I think. I sent half a dozen of my clients there. Now I need to call and apologize. I've already discovered that one of them has been lied to by Direct. Totally done with them. It's too bad. I was a good source for them. This is a great loss, for them. I will recover.

With the sale of our condo pending, Diane was kind enough to look at what we had to offer for…read moreestate sale and give us her honest thoughts about whether there was enough to conduct a sale. We contacted her owing to the fact that we needed help ensuring all of the contents of our condo would be cleared before the closing of escrow, a fete which would be particularly challenging for us since we are currently based in London, and could not be there to oversee the matter ourselves. In the end, she didn't feel there was enough to warrant a sale. However, she offered to and did arrange for Salvation Army to come and box up all of the items, take them away and complete an itemized form for tax purposes. She did this 100% out of kindness, and asked for no compensation or anything in return. We really appreciated her help as we would have been without an alternative otherwise. Thank you, Diane!

Don't waste your time!! I went to a Diane Hudec estate sale because I had really wanted a stereo…read morereceiver that was posted in about 3 different photos on Diane Hudec's website, just to show up, wait for almost an hour, get inside, and find that the item was not for sale. What's the point of having this item posted prominently in MULTIPLE photos just for the item to not be for sale? I've attached screenshots from Diane's website where you can see the stereo receiver, along with other audio/video equipment. Upon arrival, all of the items on top of the TV were under a blanket with a sign saying "NOT FOR SALE." I have no idea if the homeowner is aware that Diane and her team did this. I highly suggest reading Joseph L.'s review from Jul 16, 2019 after using Diane's services to host his estate sale for insight. On top of all this, I was left with a bad taste in my mouth after I saw a blonde woman at the cash register harass a couple for wearing masks. They kept telling her it was for their health and she did not care, so they left. Literally, leave them alone! It was so weird and uncomfortable. Between the misleading advertising, the obvious lack of transparent business practices, and the hostile atmosphere, I will never attend a Diane Hudec estate sale and I strongly suggest others steer clear.
