We inherited over 70 original paintings and Cummings met with us to advise on how to get them valued and sold efficiently. The cost was minimal and the advice was valuable. We highly recommend them.

Did a service.Was okay, took longer than expected. I will do more research next time. Lessons learned.Think they were just overwhelmed and not enough time to work on things. Updated note: If you don't have time, please don't pick up new clients.

I appreciated Randeen's detailed evaluation and description format she provided to help me with listing the items if I were to choose the online sales option. That was very helpful. I'm pleasantly surprised with the pricing. I was hoping for higher pricing due to the rare and complete sets I had asked her to evaluate, and it's clear she certainly took that into consideration. I also appreciated her quick responses, the regular status updates, and the appreciation for the actual item as a "collection" piece rather than just lumping it into "a lamp", "china", or a "statue", and telling me that I have to realize no one wants that "old stuff" anymore, as other evaluators have done. It is so refreshing to work with a true professional.

Cummings and associates is lead by Randeen Cummings. She has spent years in the antique world buying and selling of high quality items in all categories. She has studied to improve her knowledge of the legal and all elements of the estate sale industry. Besides her knowledge, she truly cares for her clients. First she is respectful of the sensitive nature of the circumstances inherent with liquidation of the personal property. Second,she presents a well organized and enticing display of items that are for sale. Honesty is a must for her, personally. Her knowledge, sensitivity for her clients feelings, presentation, and honesty are outstanding examples of the quality of her service.

Google is welcome to read my review as I am family that was taken advantage of by this shady person. I would highly suggest seeking an actual professional for your needs as this company is not it. They DO NOT have your best interests at heart, just their pocket!!! WE HAVE CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS TO BACK OUR ALLEGATIONS. If you had so called “personal integrity” you would do the right thing and return the money you stole unjustly.Ps - the other 2 “positive” reviews were written by the owners family and friend. Just take that into consideration. Clever that for someone that doesn’t “know who I am” she knows exactly what situation I’m talking about. THERES NOTHING ILLEGAL ABOUT ALLOWING OTHERS TO KNOW ABOUT OUR EXPERIENCE WITH RANDEEN. She took well over the agreed upon commission amount. Our family has tried multiple times to settle with her peacefully and she has hung up on us and refused communication multiple times. She knows what she did is wrong, and now it’s time the public does too so that they are not also taken advantage of as well.

I am a colleague of Randeen's and also a certified valuer/appraiser as she is. My experience with her is as a colleague. I have found her to be kind and considerate of others and, if anything, too concerned for the client. they make their choices and yet have trouble accepting the consequences. I am not sure any of these people writing such mean stuff were even the client! Just greedy relatives which I too am familiar with. I am located in another state at the opposite end of the country. I don't do estate sales like this because I know that no good deed goes unpunished. I can see right through the dog pile of low reviews which have caused her so much anguish. Breaking up a household and dealing with people who thought they would gain more financially is a regular experience. Disappointing but certainly not the fault of Cummings & Associates. If they read the contract, why did they think the terms would not apply to them. I would have turned down the assignment simply because of the short time frame and the work involved. Instead of complaining they should be grateful because the obvious value in the estate settlement was not the contents but the house itself which was probably under-priced for the market since it sold and closed so quickly.

I have observed the character of Cummings and Associates for over 30years. The most obvious observation I can relate is the tremendous integrity that they exhibit in their do diligence they provide to their clients. They go above and beyond to be kind, generous and diligent in the execution of their duties. Always!

The chaos and grief of losing dear ones is ALWAYS hard to deal with so in times like this everyone needs to know that they have a skilled appraisal company that lives and works at the highest levels of integrity possible. When it came to the liquidation of our dear parents estate I can say without hesitation that I have NEVER felt so safe in turning over such an important and sensitive affair than when we had Randeen and her team first inventory our parent's possessions and then later manage our estate sale. Without getting into too many "family" details we know that the documentation that they provided us will withstand any legal, or otherwise, scrutiny. They are really the hardest working, most caring, ethical and just down right funniest bunch you will ever meet! Do yourself a favor and give Cummings and Associates a chance.

Randeen has been coming to Petersen Barn Community Center for years to help educate folks about their antiques and collectibles. She is a wealth of knowledge! She kindly shares what she knows about the item and gives a replacement value to the person who brought it in, and encourages them to insure items of value. If she is unfamiliar with an item she gives suggestions as to how they can research it further on their own, or they can contract with her to do the work. Never a hard sell approach. She is a gem and I always enjoy watching her work!
