"John did an awesome job with my parents estate sale. He was very professional with all aspects of the sale. He made it very easy on all of us. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to do a sale."

"John helped out with my in-laws downsizing and getting ready to sell their home. Would highly recommend him. Took great pictures and descriptions were spot on. Appreciate when a company does what they say they will do. Great Job, John!"

"What a positive experience my siblings and I had with John from Bid On Estates! Dealing with your parents' estate is very emotional and we initially dragged our feet about contacting an auction company, but a friend/tenant gave us this recommendation after he used them and we couldn't be happier. First of all, John was a great communicator and he always showed up and did what he said he would do, when he said he would do it. And when you are working and busy, this is extremely important. We gave John access to the house on his own and he was able to come and go and work on his own. He was extremely respectful of the property and its contents and I can tell you by being able to trust him, it made it much easier on us (and I am assuming on him)! I was very impressed how organized and meticulous he was. What started out as a house full of "stuff," ended up being sorted, organized, tagged and showcased. He clearly has a wide range of knowledge of antiques and household items. And the pictures he took of the items were great - he took many pictures and gave a decent description. He also was very honest and upfront to point out any chips, dents, scuffs, etc, so you know what you're buying. All of the items sold (except for a couple) and everything was picked up on the scheduled day. I was not present at the pick-up, but I must say when I went over the next day, everything was gone, there was no damage to any floors, walls, counters, steps, driveway, yard, etc. and things that were not to be sold and kept separate were not disturbed - we were quite happy. We felt satisfied with the money we made and we were paid promptly. Another positive about this company is the on-line software that they use. It was very easy to access the auction on-line and view all of the pictures of items for sale. After our estate sale experience, I signed up as a bidder on their site and ended up finding a bookcase that I really liked and ended up bidding on it and winning that item. It was really easy to bid and the instructions for pick-up were easy to follow. I was surprised how easy it was!! I just picked up my bookcase today and love it!! I really liked this on-line auction experience much better than their competitors. I would highly recommend Bid On Estates for either selling items or buying items. This is an honest, decent company to do business with and my siblings and I were highly satisfied with our experience. Thank you, John, for your help!"

"We found John of Bid On Estates to be calm, confident, empathic and energetic. He was courteous and quick to respond to our communications. Our parents' houseful was arranged and presented in over 200 lots for the bidding. Everything sold and was carefully removed without any damage at all to the home. Very impressive service. Thanks, John."
