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.

We were paid more than I expected within hours of the end of the Estate Sales in cash. Highly recommend this place. Cash only!

Those of us in the small living room all heard. I wish I had spoken up at that moment for the passed woman, whose obituary I later found and read. She was indeed a person who lived a fascinating life and was very beloved. It is a kind of honor to go into the home of someone who has passed. The remnants of their material life are still there and in some way tell a story. I believe that an estate sale company that doesn't understand and respect this--that isn't owned by or staffed with people kind enough to understand this--shouldn't be doing this work. One star is way too much.

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.

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.

After I moved house, I had so many rent-a-crates to unpack and return very quickly. I felt overwhelmed and couldn't move two feet without hitting a box, and unpacking by myself was too slow. I contacted Terri again. Terri couldn't come out to personally help me within my limited window of time, but she has fantastic team members. Kammy came to help me, stayed for just under five hours, and we unpacked every rent-a-crate plus all of the cardboard boxes! There is a little left to do in order to make my new place feel like home, but Kammy's help means that 95% of the work is done. I am so pleased with The Chicago Organizer. Terri and Kammy are kind, professional, quite fair in their pandemic requirements, and most of all -- HELPFUL. Money well spent again!
