Reference Letters From Some Of Our Past Estate Sales Clients

Give us a call to receive the same high level Estate Sales service enjoyed by each of our past clients. Here’s what a few of them had to say about us…

Reference Letters From Past Estate Sales Clients:

Dear Martin & Valetta,

I want to thank you for handling my Estate Sale. I was impressed by your professional approach to the preparation, information, and the actual sale of my household goods.

I was very pleased with the final accounting and would highly recommend “Fine Estate Liquidation, Inc.“ to all future sellers.

Sincerely,

Michael

Martin,

The service you provided with our recent estate sale was beyond my expectations. You had prepared the house so it seemed to me like an antique shop. The articles were very tastefully displayed in an interesting fashion which made one want to wander around to not miss anything. You sold items I had not expected would find to be of any interest so would conclude that is a reflection of how the estate sale items were made to be attractive to the customers.

The detailed accounting of all items sold was also much appreciated. There were no doubts about any item. I was also pleased to see that the preparation costs prior to the sale and the cleanup and disposal costs following the sale were below what we had agreed in the contract.

My final comment is about how you left the house. Prior to the sale, the place was pretty much a mess with debris scattered all around. I was very pleasantly surprised when I visited the house after you finished with the sale. It was spotless, very well cleaned out and in sale-ready condition. That I had not expected, and it cemented my conviction that I made the right choice in selecting Fine Estate Liquidation, Inc., to handle the estate sale.

Regards,

Dave

Dear Martin,

My apologies for taking so long to personally thank you for the two cheques that have arrived for the two sales already accomplished on my behalf. Also thank you for the deduction of $200.00, on the bill for the payment of pickup and delivery, this was very nice of you.

Keep up the good work and more success in the near future with the gold teeth! – also the rocking horse, the silver urn, etc. There are quite a few pieces that could bring a sizeable amount if you are fortunate get the right areas with the right needs and the wallets.

I may be able to add some more for another addition to make it more interesting – if I can bring myself to part with a little more.

I miss the Starfish Lady – she brought a good price!

Many thanks,

Irene

Dear Mr. Codina,

I am writing you this because in today rush rush world, we seldom slow down to say

“Thank you”.

I wish to congratulate you and your crew on the exemplary job you did liquidating my Mother’s estate. Not only was your estimate under what was actually received, a pleasant surprise, but the house was left in perfect order.

I will have no trouble recommending your services to any of my friends in the future.

Keep up the good work and feel free to give my name to anyone asking for a reference.

Cordially yours,

D.A

Hi Martin,

We were thrilled with your services—you can, perhaps, imagine what a relief it was for me to walk into the house and find it actually empty.

I’m more than happy to serve as a reference for you.

All the best and thanks again.

T.S

Dear Martin,

Just a note that Gary and I would like to thank you for your efforts in completing the Estate Sale at our families’ resident in San Francisco.

The sale of old family items can be a trauma. Your professional understanding of these circumstances was greatly appreciated.

We would recommend you service to any future clients.

Thank you again,

K. Moeller

Hi my name is Mike,

My wife and I are the one’s who inherited the Picasso painting. Wow we were very excited, when we read Picasso’s signature. I just knew we had something. I made a lot of phone calls, asking around.

I met this art dealer he took one look at the painting and said it’s the real thing. Before I even knew what was going on, he and his lawyer had a contract they wanted me to sign giving him a large percentage of the sale (RED FLAG).

I started looking around on my own. After talking to a number of people I met Mr. Martin Codina, best move I ever made. He seems to be a man who loves his work. It’s not about the money (all the work he did for us never charged a cent) it’s all about the find.
When we found out the painting was a copy, Martin was as disappointed as we were.

We learned a lot from Mr. Codina. He’s not just an estate liquidator; he treats you as a friend. I have a lot of respect for him!!!

Mike

Martin,

Thanks you so much for your wonderful service. I was so stressed with getting my grandmother’s house taken care of. Your service was wonderful, not only was I extremely happy not having to dispose of her belongings, but I did not have to experience the emotions of saying good bye once more.

Thanks,

Joanne J.

Martin,

“Thanks for the wonderful job you performed in selling the many years of possessions for our family. I interviewed others but you showed your knowledge right off the bat when you recognized certain pieces from across the room.

Everything you said would be done was and we received our money and the breakdown sheet in a very timely manner.

As far as the clean up went I was very impressed and glad to see the remainder go to a worthwhile charity.

I would highly recommend you to anyone in need of your service.”
