Words are inadequate to fully express our enthusiasm, accolades and gratitude for Dan & Susie Cobb (and Team Cobb). If you are in need of estate liquidation assistance, you need look no further! After 65 in their Fresno home, our parents passed away relatively suddenly, leaving us with decades and generations of treasured items to recirculate in the world. What could have been a tense, sad and overwhelming process became an uplifting and energizing experience by our choice of the Cobb team to handle our parents' estate matters. Dan, Susie and the team provided sincere, caring and professional partnership from start to finish - and displayed a stunning level of creativity, compassion, rigor, efficiency and integrity along the way. As other Yelp reviewers have already noted, from researching the value of precious items to pricing, marketing, sale aesthetics and staging, security, shopper relations (donuts and coffee!) and clean up, they are truly something to behold. Just two weeks after the sale, we have already received our full accounting (item by item, receipts included) and reimbursement from Dan and Susie. And while their level of organization and professionalism is stunning, equally remarkable was their level of care for us as family members (listening patiently and with interest to countless stories about individual items and associated memories as we prepared for the sale). I'm pressed to imagine how anyone would find a more qualified, capable and caring company to support them with such services. Dan, Susie and Team Cobb, thank you! The world is a better place because are in it.

Mr. Dan Cobb,
I have served as the executor and trustee for the Karen McNally estate which included diverse personal property. This is to let you know that Mr. Cobb and his company were fabulous in handing our estate sale.
They know just about everything about all types of art, furniture, guns, vehicles, equipment, etc. They treat the property as if it is their own in order to maximize value and are totally trustworthy and detail oriented.
In addition to working very hard , they are always on-time and do everything they promise and more.
I am very pleased to recommend them highly. Please know this letter of recommendation was not solicited by Mr. Cobb and I am happy to be contacted by anyone that wants more information about the excellent work they do.
Sincerely,
Jerry Cook

If you need an honest well-followed person to sell your estate items, Dan Cobb is your guy! After interviewing 3 companies, I chose Cobb for some very specific reasons and needs. They automatically canvas the area and hand deliver 600 fliers around the neighborhood 2 days before the sale. Our area was so dense, they printed 800 and had 6 left over. They lay down a clear plastic carpet protector on ALL carpet. After the 2 day sale and over 1100 people walked through, it was still in place. It has some sort of adhesive and sounded like they were pulling up duct tape – very strong. Every item has a price tag on it, some were hand written hanging tags with description others were priced on masking tape. Since the estate had 2 beneficiaries, it was very important to have a complete accounting of the sale. They hand write every sale on a receipt with general description and price. Every receipt was entered into a spreadsheet for the total and every receipt was included in the envelope. They worked tirelessly day and night to prepare for the sale. The house, garage, back, and side yard were turned into a store on tables, about 40 of them. Their website had over 100 pictures of the items available in clear well lit images. First day of the sale had a hundred plus cars up and down the street with 160+ buyers lined up enjoying free coffee and donuts provided by Cobb. They also had plenty of staff on sale days to help the customers and protect from pilfering with a minimum of 2 people in every room or area. Picking a well established (since 1965) estate sale company is very important. The best displayed items won't sell if there's not a huge following. Dan and Susie were very respectful of the house, it's items, and the memory of the previous owner.

My wife and I needed to clear my Mom's home due to her passing. The home had significant number of items acquired over 40 years. The task to clear the home, under a difficult time, needed to be done sooner rather than later. Dan Cobb Estate provided us a very competitive quote, an expedient timeline for a sale, and delivered excellent service. Dan and his staff prepared my Mom's home and conducted the estate sale in a very, very organized and professional manner. Such service received truly displays Dan's many years in the business. I also received very positive feedback from individuals that attended the sale, again well organized and they loved the doughnuts and coffee provided by Dan. My wife and I highly recommend Dan Cobb Estate.

I hired Dan Cobb and his crew to handle the sale of the contents of my parent's home after my father's death and my mother's move to a retirement community. They did a fantastic job! When I first interviewed Dan, he took the time to clearly explain the services he would provide, how the sale would be advertised and conducted, and what his compensation would be. Although I had expected to spend time organizing and purging before the sale, he told me "don't do anything else, we'll take it from here." And boy, did they! The crew cleaned, organized, and displayed the home's contents with an eye towards maximizing sales. They also carefully set aside some sentimental items they thought we would like to keep. The sale itself was conducted in a professional manner. Afterwards, I promptly received a thorough accounting of all money received and a check for my family's share of the proceeds. Finally, I would note that Dan and everyone working for him do exactly what they say they will when they say they will do it. How rare is that these days
