Diane and her family and crew were so careful with all my possessions. Her knowledge of rugs, furniture and collectibles was so helpful in pricing things to be sold . She also was mindfulof how I was doing during the sale and made sure I rested and ate . Her kindness was evident and she went out of the way for me. Highly recommend her.

Diane is the consummate professional: She is well organized--doing everything by the book, has decades of experience, is highly knowledgeable and passionate about interiors, as well as responsive and respectful of her clients (on both the sell and buy side). I met Diane while she was overseeing a large, high-end estate sale where she took great care in ensuring the privacy of the owners and the safety of the property, which for me were clear indications that she cares deeply about her clients and creating lasting business relationships. Diane has a terrific design sense, worked with me to find great pieces, was extremely fair in terms of pricing. She even helped me find a reliable moving company, such a bonus when time is of the essence. Diane also went to great lengths to protect the health of attendees, extending the sale over many days to accommodate safe spacing (versus a three-day melee, which is what many other estate sale companies in the area are doing right now in the midst of a pandemic). It certainly would be easier on her and her business to work that way but clearly she values her own health and that of her clients. On top of everything else, Diane is a warm, genuinely kind person and a pleasure to be around. I can’t recommend Diane highly enough or imagine anyone surpassing her or her company's level of attention and service.

I have attended quite a few Estate Sales run and handled by Diane Smith and her husband, Randy. Diane's Sales are always well run, well attended, well stocked with quality merchandise, and interesting. Diane is always ready, willing, and able to assist you and answer any questions that you might have. Diane is professional, knowledgeable, and more importantly, a good and nice person. In this day and age, that alone says a lot! I always look forward to attending her Sales.

Diane is a pro! She and her team ran an extremely successful three-day estate sale for us in late July 2020. Diane is experienced, knowledgeable, and trustworthy and has excellent communication skills. She took a detailed inventory and organized all items to be sold in online auctions as well as the in-house sale. Diane and her team are dedicated, organized and were wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend.

One of the sweetest ladies I have ever met! She offered us a great deal on a dinning room table set, fire place, as well as some paintings. She was so understanding, accommodating, and so great to deal with! We had no trouble with picking up our table and she even had one of the people that worked with her help us load the truck (it was not an easy job). Diane clearly cares for her customers as well as the people who hire her. I would love to be a customer again as well as reach out to her if I ever need to have an estate sale! Highly recommend!

Diane Smith and her friendly staff made the overwhelming event, a pre-moving clean out sale, a manageable event for us. Her informative website describes her credentials and services. This hardworking, organized team set up items, furniture and artwork in attractive displays in advance of the sale. Diane did extensive research to determine the value of our rare collectibles and artwork. In addition, Diane contacted and negotiated with other professionals to secure the right price for silver and unique antiques. Our in-house sale followed state guidelines during COVID and all safety procedures were enforced. The additional services included coordinating clean out and donations to Habitat for Humanity and Junkaholics. We had a profitable experience with Diane, Randy and her trustworthy, responsible staff. We appreciate all their hard work!

She helped my mom sell much of her possessions. Friendly, knowledgeable, professional. She turned an overwhelming process into something easy and manageable.
