***With 10 days of a set-up working with the clients to organize all their parent's personal items and cleaning up the home, a three day estate sale and five days to donate and clean-out the home to put on the market...our client gave a fantastic review!***
I feel extremely lucky to have worked with Sue and her company Spaces of Tranquility. My father recently passed away and my mother needed to be quickly moved into a nursing home, and all other family members live out of state. All of a sudden, I had a house full of 58 years’ worth of accumulation that needed to be sorted through, before it could be put on the market to sell. Sue came to our house for an initial meeting to answer all questions and assess the property, and I was immediately struck by her warm and engaging personality and her ‘can do’ attitude. It was a difficult time for me emotionally, and the whole project felt overwhelming at first, but Sue assured me that she could handle sorting through, cataloging, and helping to sell, donate, and discard everything in the house. Sue and her staff with Spaces of Tranquility carefully sorted through and staged items in each room. All items were photographed, and I was given an opportunity to look through all photographs prior to the estate sale, to make sure that I had not missed anything that I wanted to keep, which I deeply appreciated. Soon thereafter, Sue ran a successful estate sale for us, followed by donating the unsold items to Goodwill, and hiring a junk removal company for the items not sold or donated. The house is now broom clean and ready for my real estate agent to put on the market. During the entire process from beginning to end, Sue was in contact every step of the way and got back to me immediately with answers to any questions that I had. Sue and her team were kind and compassionate throughout, during a difficult time for my family, which we deeply appreciated. Sue is a consummate professional, and I highly recommend her and her company Spaces of Tranquility for anyone who needs help with an estate sale.
