Two months ago, our family wasn't even thinking about an estate sale. Now, it turns out to have been a Godsend! We want to thank you for making a potentially daunting task, seamless and much easier for us. Your family were professional and efficient from the start. I am thankful that we chose you to work with. You are a credit to your craft!
Even after the sale, when we had a situation, where we needed Dad's wheelchair returned, you never hesitated, and worked it out beautifully. Thank you so, so much!
Our father had a deep appreciation for professionalism in business, and I know that he would have appreciated the professional manner in which this sale was handled. We take comfort in knowing that he would have approved of our choice.
While the burden of processing this loss still looms large in our hearts, we are comforted that Dad's possessions have found useful, new homes, and thankful for your efforts in making it a smooth, and timely process.

I was very pleased with the level of service and professionalism by the Pink Dog Estate Sales Team. My job was huge, and the dynamic of Michelle and Steve was just the right touch for my project.... I was also impressed with their ability to sell aggressively for low end items, yet discerning and uncompromising on my higher end items. You can trust that they will not 'give your stuff away'... Yet also know, they will do everything they can to sell your goods at a fair market rate that makes everyone feel like a winner in the end. Thanks so much you guys!
I am grateful for all you were able to do for me, and highly recommend your services to anyone who needs to liquidate.

I just completed a very high-end Estate Sale with Pink Dog in Alpine, NJ. Michelle, Steve, Ian, Alex, Lynnette, Linda, Irv and the entire crew were wonderful. Very helpful to customers, easy for me to work with, and most importantly, we all make a lot of $$$. Thank you!

Preparing and having an estate sale is never easy especially when it’s for a loved one’s belongings.
My research led me to several companies specializing in the process. All three couldn’t schedule on the timeline required and two competitors recommended Pink Dog Estate Sales, LLC. Living in Georgia and having a sale in New Jersey, I contacted Pink Dog who made the extra effort to see the property as it was that day. We agreed right then on using Pink Dog because they are committed to and help you through the process. Steve came in for the initial evaluation. Michelle followed up a couple of days before the sale to set up and arrange, then price. The pricings were good. The more money they make you the more they make. It’s in their best interest to get you top dollar. They secured the house and property before, during and after the sale and finally had me a list and check for everything sold in the mail the following Monday. It was fair and honest. If I ever need this service again, I hope I find a company as competent, friendly and easy to engage as has been my experience with Pink Dog.

We needed to move our family out of the house we had lived in for over 75 years. We had contracted with a two woman estate sale company to help us sell the contents of our large, 4 story, FULL house. They came twice - a walk through and a first phase set-up. Two weeks before the sale they baled on us (via text!) saying they didn't have enough time to get everything ready. That left us in quite a difficult spot! There was NO way we could deal with all of it ourselves. Those two women had wasted 4 weeks of our time .. who would help us!?! PINK DOG SALES, that's who!
We called Pink Dog Sales on a reference and thank goodness we did! When we spoke to Steve he said he'd see what he could do to help us out. He also mentioned that they would be squeezing us in to their already hectic sales schedule. Well, after meeting with Steve and his son, Ian, we breathed a huge sigh of relief! They showed total respect, compassion and professionalism and gave us the confidence that they could handle our sale. In addition to that, at no time did we feel like we were being "fit in" to their schedule nor did we feel rushed or like we were in the way. Steve kept in touch with us throughout the set up, the sale and the post-sale.
With only two weeks to accomplish it all, the sale was a huge success! Steve, Ian and Debbie went above and beyond to make sure it was lucrative and safe for everyone. They were careful to keep people out of non-sale areas and kept excellent records of what sold and for how much. We HIGHLY recommend Pink Dog Sales to anyone wishing to empty their home using a professional, thorough and experienced company. You will not be disappointed!

Pink Dog was interviewed with three other estate sale companies and I chose them based on sincerity and what they said they would accomplish. I was very happy with the professional treatment they rendered analyzing my aunt and uncle’s belongings and conducted a very ethical sale which resulted in a nice profit. All items were documented and listed and I feel they went above and beyond what they said they would do, and exceeded my expectations.

I recently used Pink Dog Estate Sales to liquidate the contents of my mother's house - 60+ years
collection of valuable and not so valuable items. If it were an option, I would give them 10 stars.
From our first meeting through the end of the sale, Michelle and Steve were professional, reliable, well
organized, easy to communicate with and showed a knowledge of their business (and our items) that
allowed me to feel extremely confident in my choice to use their services.
Steve and son Ian took excellent photos which were posted on their web site. Ian was even able to
repair some old stereo equipment which added $$$ to the sale. While going through our "stuff,"
Michelle and Steve recognized the value of things we really considered junk.
The sale items were displayed attractively and the two-day sale was very orderly. After the sale,
Michelle and staff left the house very neat.
Michelle and Steve are very honest and trustworthy; when I mentioned to Steve that some workers
would be in the house doing repairs, he made sure that anything of value was well hidden. At the end of
the sale, Michelle provided me with a list of what was sold and the price. And the sale was extremely
profitable.
It was a pleasure doing business with Michelle and Steve and I would not hesitate to use them again.

Michelle and Steve Raybeck and their team at Pink Dog are the most honest and hard working folks I have ever met. My husband passed away recently and I found Pink Dog in hopes of finding a way to clear my house of over 43 years of things that my husband and I collected. I donated things to my local charity, took what I wanted to my new house, my relatives took what they wanted and I still had a massive amount of stuff.
If I had a house on a normal street the sale would have been a whole lot easier. I was on a busy two lane road with no street parking and a narrow driveway with not a lot of parking at the top. Michelle and Steve thought about it carefully and came up with a wonderful solution! They set up a four day estate sale by appointment and also put a shuttle service in place so that more people could come. They also used some of their contacts around the state to sell and deliver some of the more collectible items to collectors that could not make the sales.For four straight days they worked very hard, not even stopping to take lunch. At the end of the four days there were still a lot of things left so they did an extra day hoping to clear out more. By the fifth sale almost all of the things were cleared out.
I don't know what I would have done without the Pink Dog team to help. I would highly recommend Pink Dog Sales to anyone and would give them a five star plus rating!!!!!

I had the good fortune of dealing with Pink Dog Estate Sales when we held our own estate sale in November 2017. Michelle and Steve did a superb job of organizing and advertising our sale. The week before the sale they neatly setup the sale items and afterwards cleaned up. During the two-day sale itself many buyers showed up. Sales were excellent. A detailed account of the sales was given to us at our settlement. We were pleased with the whole operation. I highly recommend Pink Dog Estate Sales to anyone considering a sale.

5 stars across the board for Pink Dog Estate Sales! Michelle was truly exceptional in making our sale run smoothly and stress free, she was with us the entire journey making sure we got the most out of our sale. Michelle is very detail oriented which I appreciated immensely. She made several visits before the day of the sale setting up and making sure everything was set. The sale went better than I expected and she and her team were able to sell pieces of furniture and various other things that I had trouble selling on my own in the past. I recommend Pink Dog Estate Sales to anyone that is moving or looking to shed the load of excess "stuff" from their home!

When I found myself having to quickly clear out the contents of my father's home due to a quick real estate sale, my realtor recommended that I reach out to Pink Dog Estate Sales for help. Michelle and Steve came to my rescue - they were super responsive and very accommodating. They handled everything and the process made a difficult situation so much easier for me. I couldn't be happier with the experience. Thank you, Pink Dog!

I’m really pleased with how my sale with Pink Dog went. From the very beginning, Michelle stood out as direct, organized, confident and honest. Some of the other estate sale people I interviewed were flaky, pushy or sketchy. Not Michelle. And even if some of the others were fine, Michelle just seemed better. She’s professional, communicating clearly and promptly. Nobody else gave me their references and contract before I even asked. I really felt I was in good hands. She is not afraid to dig through your stuff, get dirty and find the gems to be displayed. A relative asked me if I wanted her to check in on the sale, since I was not going to be there. I told her it was totally unnecessary because I had no worries about Michelle and her staff and I was right. And she goes out of her way to accommodate you. She paid very promptly with a cashier’s check, which I didn’t even think was necessary, since she was so honest. I would definitely recommend her. Knowing that you can let Pink Dog take care of everything regarding the sale so that you can focus on other things gives you a sense of relief.

Our family chose Pink Dog Estate Sales to liquidate my parents' home after my father passed. Of the several companies I spoke with, Pink Dog Estate Sales stood out as the best choice and in hindsight, I highly recommend them. After I put an inquiry on the site, Michelle reached out to me immediately. She was extremely professional and explained the process in detail. When she and Steve came to our home, they were very professional, knowledgable, and kind. My mother was naturally sad and is also very hard of hearing. Yet, Michelle and Steve were extremely respectful and patient and caring towards her. They are business people who obviously care about the families they help. Prior to the sale, they obtained estimates on valuable coins and jewelry and researched prices for many unusual items my father owned. They made sure we priced items fairly. Michelle and Steve and their team were great to work with. I am grateful we chose them and would refer them to anyone looking for an Estate Sale company. They made a difficult process as easy as possible and were a pleasure to do business with. Thank you Michelle and Steve!

Steve and Michelle
Thank you for handling our estate sale. When I signed up at Estatesales.net, I received many calls and emails but Michelle's was the only one that explained all about estate sales, things I never would have thought of on my own. Everything you did was as you said you would and I believe you guys went above and beyond given the short time frame. Thanks again!

Michelle and Stephen were professional and thoughtful with my mother, 88-years old and moving from her home of 40 years. Everything about the Pink Dog estate sale process was efficient and no-fuss.
When our family was deciding on an estate sale company, I received Michelle’s first email response to me. In straightforward language, it explained the process from A to Z.
She provided me an estate-sale primer at no cost!
That convinced me then and there.
A person’s lifetime of possessions can be difficult to go through, and to let go of. The Raybecks showed just the right amount of empathy mixed with sales know-how to make it a fully positive experience.
I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

My husband and I had the task of settling his mother's estate and disposing of her property. Since we do not reside in the area where she lived we needed to find a reputable company to arrange the sale. We hired Pink Dog Estate Sales. They did a very good job of organizing, carrying out and completing the sale in a professional manner. They were honest, hardworking and trustworthy. Pink Dog Estate Sales was a good choice for us.

Hiring Pink Dog Estate Sales to conduct my moving sale was one of the best things I've ever done! Overwhelmed with downsizing and moving, Michelle and her crew were professional, caring,honest and efficient and treated my home and its contents with respect. The sale was extremely successful and when done, they straightened up what was left. It was a load off my mind. I would highly recommend Pink Dog to anyone!

Hello All
Writing to tell of my wonderful experience with my Estate Sale with Pink Dog. It was really hard getting rid of family heirlooms, but Michelle and her staff made me feel really comfortable and made this experience a lot easier than I ever thought it would be. They felt more like invited guess in my home and not just business partners. The sale went extremely smoothly and I appreciate them for that.
