Michele and Lori,
I can not thank you enough or sing your praises enough for the service you provided to my mom and I as she downsized and we resettled her to Orlando and emptied and sold her home. From the moment you came for the consultation, you each were professional, clear communicators, and showed my mom such honor and respect during this emotional time, always putting her needs and feelings first and showing respect for her property. Your service took so much weight off my shoulders, and I still can not believe that we walked away on moving day leaving a house full of stuff and that we walked in on closing day to a totally cleaned out home and cash in hand! You did all the work that I otherwise would have had to slug through, and because of your ability to display things beautifully and advertise, hopefully things my mom loved but no longer needs will be repurposed, used, and loved in someone else's home. The past several months have been emotionally and physically tiring, but you allowed me to focus my time and energy into getting my mom resettled here, and I can't imagine having gone through this process any other way.
When we met with you after the sale, your stories of people enjoying looking through all her Precious Moments and sharing how she has touched the lives of many over the years was such an encouragement to her, because ultimately that is what brings the most satisfaction in life...not the stuff, but knowing you made a difference.
You exceeded my expectations on every level, from organizing for the sale, managing the sale, and follow-up during and after the sale. I am glad you find joy and satisfaction in the work you have chosen, as it is important work and provides service and mercy at a time of life when people are overwhelmed and needy of your help. I have already been telling my mom's and my friends about the excellent service you provided to us, and if you want to list me as a reference I would be happy to tell others about our experience. I still can't believe that you were able to sell EVERY Precious Moment...the one thing that I for years had worried about getting rid of...there were thousands and that was quite an accomplishment and made my mom so happy. We appreciated your allowing us to add and subtract a few items along the way, and also how you dealt with the touchy neighbor situation. She told me several times how impressed she was with how you all were handling things.
You two are....PRECIOUS and I will miss our MOMENTS together! Now let's all go clean out a closet!
"You have turned this mess in to a Museum to my Mom, it looks so amazing I would like to just leave it like this forever and be able to come visit it whenever I want."
"I was very impressed with Michele of Estate Sales Ever After. She provided fair market valuation estimates for some antique and contemporary pieces we are selling. I wanted to ask a fair price, but had no idea of the value of these pieces. Michelle went to work for me immediately and within two days, she had the valuations, very professional. Estate Sales Ever After made my job easy."

Their dedication and determination to deliver the best possible outcome for their clients is boundless.

"Michelle and Lori are the best team in Brevard county for helping you with your estate sale. They turn what would normally be a depressing and tedious task into a bit of fun. They take away a lot of the worry and concern about selling sentimental precious and common household items. The two of them are extremely diligent and full of energy and positive attitude. They will help you to get the best price with the least effort on your part. Unlike many estate sales companies who take complete control of the entire sale and won't allow the owners to have a say in the pricing or negotiations, they are very flexible and accommodating. I actually had one company tell me I wasn't allowed on my own property during the sale. Estate Sales Ever After cares about you and your belongings. If I has it to do all over again I'd gladly choose them to handle my stuff."
Mike, Merritt Island, Florida
"I can’t say enough about the excellent service provided by Estate Sales Ever After. Michele and Lori bring a sense of calm and compassion to the selling of the belongings of an estate. They took the time to talk with us about the process and were always available to talk or email with any member of our family. From the first interview to the final sale, they were professional and highly organized. They gave us peace of mind during an otherwise difficult transition."

Questions from a prospective client to a former client…
I am considering hiring Estate Sales Ever After to conduct an estate sale of
my mother’s personal property in Melbourne – Michelle and Lori provided
your name as a reference. I hope you will kindly let me know the following:
1. Did the service they provide meet your expectations?
A. Absolutlely, 100% met my expectations
2. Would you hire them again?
A. Well nothing left to sell as they sold virtually EVERYthing, but
again absolutely I would use them again.
I was concerned about hiring them or any other firm as well Terri. I
had never done this before, I had a TON of stuff that I had no idea
what I was going to do about as I was in the process of moving back
home to Seattle and storage just did not make any sense as I will not
have a new home for a while. Yard sale was out. I just am not into
doing that and I had WAY too much furniture and belongings.
First off, they REALLY do know their stuff and they understand the
customer as they have done this many times. Lori told me several times
about situations that actually arose during the sale when I was there.
Side note, you can be at the sale of course, I preferred not to be
but in the brief times I stopped in, I was hit up with exactly what
Lori had mentioned. Nothing bad, but customers trying to buy it
directly from you... an example Lori mentioned and I was hit up right
away.
They were a whirlwind once they got to working. Cleaning and
re-arranging and they set up very nicely and logically and it looked
and WAS very professional once the sale started.
The other GREAT part from my perspective was that at least half of the
major items (the ones I was really worried about selling) were sold
before the sale even started. That was fantastic as they updated me
before the sale, this is sold, that is sold and I was wondering if
they would have anything left the day of the sale itself!
Finally, the best part of working with Michelle and Lori is (and it
may sound silly, but it was a big help for me) they were FUN to work
with. Professional, they kept me hopping and cleaning and such as
needed, but it was an easier process than I expected. It was a bit
tough watching some of the things you have saved or cherished and they
understand that part.
I really hope that helps some. YES I would use them again in a
heartbeat. It was worth every penny and in particular, I had a
deadline and I did not think there was a chance to make it. In the
end, I had less to pack up and take with me than I had ever imagined
and that was a good thing. Between the pre-sale and advertising for
the sale, I was stunned at the level of response and volume of people
that went through my home.
