I am in the process of moving, and she has been in the middle of helping me remove the things in my house, her specialty is Estate Sales, she looks at the stuff and finds out where to get the most money out of it whether it is an auction, or sale. Very nice lady. Member Comments: She has made me a lot of money and still has another sale to do, I am very happy with her.

Diane Smith responded immediately to my call, came over promptly to look at our furniture, discussed how we should proceed with our moving sale, made excellent recommendations, took photos of our items for her website, researched the value of our goods, set prices after conferring with us, scheduled appointments with buyers, sold everything we needed her to sell, and was extremely professional, a pleasure to work with, and knowledgeable about the market. Member Comments: When we found out our closing date, we didn't have much time and needed to sell stuff quickly without sacrificing value. Our realtor recommended Diane Smith along with two other estate sale companies. I contacted all three and found that their commission percentages of 25% were identical. Diane was selected because she had the approach and personality that would work best for us. Even so, I was a bit skeptical at the beginning because we had such a variety of goods ranging from a pool table and Sole exercise treadmill to a lovely dining room set with 10 Chippendale chairs and an imported crystal chandelier. It was also around Labor Day when people were on vacation, however, Diane explained that she had a large following of interested buyers who watch her website, and that proved to be true. She advertised in the local paper as well. Diane researched the market value of EVERYTHING: our artwork, oriental rugs, sports memorabilia, clocks, and more. There wasn't anything she felt she couldn't sell, and while she took complete charge of all the appointments and conversations with the customers, she also kept us informed and asked questions every step of the way with the prices and negotiations. Diane has a gentle manner and integrity, so when she is describing an item, people listen to her knowing they are not being scammed by an aggressive sales person. Customers with scheduled appointments arrived at different hours of the day and evening, and Diane was always at our house to meet them. She kept us posted on the schedule via texts and phone calls. Diane is very good with logistics and knows what it takes to transport valuable or bulky items. Someone who bought the pool table, needed a mover to disassemble and transport it, so Diane arranged for that. With the crystal chandelier, she knew exactly what should be done to avoid breakage, and my electricians took it down (I paid for that because we were either going to sell it or take it with us), but the buyer paid to take it to her house and install it there. All in all, we were exceptionally pleased with her work and felt fortunate to have her managing our moving sale during a frenzied time. My husband and I would recommend her in a heart beat.

The company set up and managed 2 estate sales out of my barn. Member Comments: The provider took all the materials for sale and either auctioned them or took them to local providers to sell. She then brought me back about $12,000 after all was said and done. Then she conducted two estate sales from my barn for additional proceeds. This is after her 30% . She is very knowledgeable and professional.
