Real Estate Auctions
In April of 2012 we used the services of Birkett's Auction in Rockford, Illinois. They agreed in writing to remove the contents of our parent's home and sell the items at auction within 3 weeks.
6 weeks later, there were still things left in the home. After the contract was signed, the owner told us that he didn't want the piano, and that we should make arrangements to have it removed ourselves, which we did, requiring additional costs to another firm. They also damaged the alarm system in the home requiring further expense on our part to have it repaired. I contacted him about the alarm system components that had been removed from the home, and he agreed to return them, which he never did.
He took hundreds of items, including antique furniture, oriental rugs, antique glass & porcelean, etc.
Here it is March of 2013, and we have yet to recieve payment for the items that he has sold. I have called him numerous times, and have been told each time that he will get a check to us. . . . .11 months later we have not recieved one cent. He is now not returning my calls.
Stay away from this business. They do NOT perform the services that they agree upon. Very bad experience.
