I called to have to have an estate sale at my house in Ferndale. I was told Allison would call me to discuss coming over to do a walk through. I didn’t hear from her and after two weeks called back. I was told by the receptionist that I didn’t hear from Allison because she looked up my house on Zillow and decided without knowing the contents of the house that it was to small to make fifteen thousand dollars so they are going to pass. I tried to work with a local business that’s based in the same city but apparently they would prefer to only work with houses that are over two thousand square feet because size matters more then content to them.

The estate sale was a great success!! Poof set up and advertised beautifully! They had over 700 customers through the home. It was well organized and employees were stationed throughout the home and kept in contact with each other through 2-way radios. They took into consideration all of my concerns on pricing and contacted me directly on any bids.

Hello [Member Name Removed], We would like to sincerely apologize again for any inconvenience our scheduling error has caused you. We are taking this mistake seriously as it is not in line with our standard and reflects poorly on our company. We understand the call made to you once the mishap was noted does not solve the issue but if there is anything we can do to help ease the issue further, please let us know. Sincerely, The Poof Team
I would highly recommend Poof Estate Services if you are considering doing an estate sale. This group of ladies knows the business and truly excel at it! We were so impressed with all they did! We hired them to run an estate sale at my mother's condo in June, 2018. The ladies were so organized! They were thorough in their research on pricing and the staging of the items for the sale was beautiful. They posted a ton of pictures/descriptions of the items for sale on their website. I'm sure that's why we had such a great turnout of people for a mid-week sale. The communication was great throughout the process. Overall, we were very happy with their service!

I can't say enough about how positive my experience was with Poof. Peggy Ruby represented the company from start to finish, and she was the model of professionalism, kindness, helpfulness, and respect throughout. She answered all the questions my brother and I had with patience and knowledge, and she put our minds at ease about the whole process a situation like ours involved. With Poof, we no longer felt like we had a Herculean if not impossible task in front of us in preparing my father's house for sale. We did need to sort through his home to identify and claim what we wanted to take, but Poof literally did the rest. When it came time to stage the sale, they had arranged many hundreds of items so attractively and creatively that I didn't recognize the place! (It made me want to go shopping!) I received dozens of photos of the set up prior to the sale, and Peggy updated me as often as I had requested throughout the sale. She promptly notified me of the results when it was over, and within a week, my brother and I had our checks for our share of the profits. I also received an incredibly detailed list of every item that sold, with each one identified very clearly, the price it fetched, and when it sold. As we had a clean-out service following the sale, Peggy continued to courteously and promptly update me on what was going on. If all this wasn't enough, Peggy seemed to really appreciate the emotional significance of this situation/process, knowing as she did that my brother and I had grown up in this house and that we were very connected to it and its contents. She gracefully and respectfully navigated matters of business in the context of matters of the heart. Do yourself a favor and hire Poof!!!
Description of Work: As my father had passed away last October and had lived in his home for 50 years, I needed many household items sold or donated--and I needed the house to be cleaned out before putting it on the market. All of this was a daunting prospect, especially because I live in Rhode Island and he lived in suburban Detroit.

I wish there was a rating higher than A. The ladies are100% professional. Incredibly easy to work with. Listened to my concerns. They organized everything. Unlike other companies, they took the time to properly price each item. Their client's satisfaction is their main priority. It isn't just about making a buck. I have dealt with multiple estate companies. I attend sales almost every weekend. Peggy, Allison and Becca are at the top. I have recommended them to several of my own clients. If you want a smooth sale with unequivocal service, Poof Estate Services is the only team I recommend!
Description of Work: I had an overwhelming amount of books, collectibles, china, records, etc. You name it I had it. I hired the team to hold an estate sale.
