They kept 70% of the sale money (of course I really don't know how much they sold, as I was not in town, so I had to go by what they told me), which included cleaning my house after the sale and hauling the unsold items into a truck.
It was an very unpleasant experience to say the least, not to mention that I made little money and it was in my home and everything was mine!!
I cannot imagine anyone ever wanting to use these people and despite their name, they have no integrity!!
I felt robbed of my lovely personal possessions and insulted by Dave verbally and financially.

Response from Integrity Estate Sales
"The client did not have many items that she wanted to sell, but agreed that we could bring in items from another client to make the sale work. When we arrived at the house to begin the process of setting up for the sale, it was a total mess, trash and stacks of boxes for movers everywhere . We cleaned it up, at no cost to her, and proceeded getting ready for the sale. She sent two of her neighbors over to see if we cleaned up, as she didn't want people to see the mess she left. We called and assured her that we had cleaned up. She said that the neighbors had also told her the house looked great. The sale went well and her cost for the sale was 42%,(Items sold that belonged to her totaled $5,872.00 our cost for sale was $2,2468.00) After the sale, she wanted us to remove unsold items and clean the entire house(over 4,000sq ft with basement, workshop & garage) which we had agreed to. She demanded that it be done before the movers came to get the final truck load of items going to storage, which were in the large laundry room and garage. We worked over the Holiday weekend to accommodate her. We told her that we could not clean the laundry room, work shop and garage, because of the amount of items stored there for the movers to pick up. She said that she would take care of those areas and remove any trash(wood from workshop and cardboard) Her neighbor told us she took it to place of business dumpster after hours. She called and asked if we could come back out and clean those areas that we had not, we accommodated her request. Total cost to remove unsold items and deep clean her house was $1,365.00(39 hrs @ $35 pr hr), which was all in the contract, which she agreed to. Some areas had not been cleaned in years. We did not charge for the clean up of the home before the sale, which was over 8 hrs. All I can say is: Some people are never HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!"

On relatively short notice they agreed to hold an estate sale. They were incredibly professional and had a three person team in the house just three days after signing the contract to begin pricing and sorting and organization all of the stuff we had in our house that needed to go before our move to Hawaii. They started advertising on their website and their nationally affiliated website, sent e-mails to their interested base. In addition they advertised in the MPLS paper. Four people supervised the sale that following weekend. Within two weeks of the sale date we received a check for the net proceeds. We would gladly use them again and highly recommend them for someone that doesn't wish to do all the work or isn't able to do all the work related getting rid of your possessions when the time comes.

We used them for a long period of time because we had an issue that took a long period of time to resolve with a canoe. We started with them the very end of March, 2014 and we just finished up two weeks ago. We had an outstanding issue with a title to the canoe that we couldn't locate. He held off on everything until the final item was sold and then issued us a check. There were moving costs that were deducted from the total value of the belongings so the final cost was $1,000. We had to get following up on where he was at. They ended up going into several different sales that he conducted. I had to follow up on a few occasions to find out what was going on. I think I am going to use them again.

We received a check a month after the sale which was a bit longer than expected. We did not make much money which was a bit disappointing but consistent with appraisals from other providers.

We didn't have much communication with him.

"The Family wanted way more than the items were worth and continued to turn down offers for the items. I took the items to auctions for them free of charge and the items sold for about $2,500 far less than what the offers were for that were turned down. Sometimes you can't please people no matter how hard you try."

We visited several estate sales and ended up interviewing two potential providers. We selected Dave because of his fair pricing policy and his communications skills. He and his staff were respectful of our property and our home. They spent many hours pricing items and organizing them. The results of the actual sale, held over 2 days, exceeded our expectations. Almost all of our large items and antiques sold, along with a great deal of our household goods. We were very pleased and are happy to recommend Dave and his crew.

I didn't end up with any money, but Dave and his company did all the work for me. All that was left to do was to dispose of the unsellable items and items that could not be donated to charity. They took many trips to the thrift stores for me and did the best they could to sell most of my mother's things. I have recommended them to friends who need that service and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs to have an estate sale.

We were responsible for disposing of furniture and personal items from the estate of a person who died in an assisted living facility. It was very important that the items be moved off site quickly to avoid an extra month's rent. The actual sale needed to be conducted off-site. Dave Olson and his crew at Integrity Estate Sales were the only ones we located who were able to accomplish this.
The move went smoothly. Dave and his crew worked well with the assisted living facility staff. The items were subsequently sold in two sales off-site. The remaining unsold items were bulk-sold or disposed of by the Integrity Estate crew.
The sale recap paperwork only included the total receipts and expenses, as well as itemized items that sold for over $100. However, Dave promptly answered our more detailed questions. We received final payment within 90 days.

We sold our house and needed to move on relatively short notice, wanting to downsize significantly. We contacted several estate sale companies, being very wary of some companies' bad reputations. One was busy on the weekend we needed them. Another came and looked at what we had and said we didn't have enough to make it worthwhile. I tried to stop Integrity from coming out to look at our things based upon the agent who said we didn't have enough. Dave wanted to stop by anyway. He looked at the same things the other agent did and said he could make it work. Since we needed to get rid of a lot of stuff and didn't want to do a moving sale ourselves, we decided it was worth it to go with them even if we ended up paying them money to get rid of some stuff.
Dave and his staff were just great. They were always happy and friendly and whenever we had a question, Dave would say, and quot;we'll figure it out.and quot; They came a couple of days in advance to organize and price everything. They allowed us to keep a portion of our house cordoned off from the sale so that we did not have to move out while the sale was happening. Since we were keeping about third of our belongings, they made room where we could store the items that were not for sale. They brought in additional items to sell so that it looked like we had a lot to sell. The sale took two days and I was concerned that the traffic might cause damage to light colored carpet, but they made people take off their shoes and the carpet was fine. After the sale, they dealt with all the people who needed to come by to pick up things they had bought. They also came back and cleaned out everything that didn't sell and were willing to take a small amount of junk that hadn't even been part of the sale.
Integrity was probably more expensive than some of the other companies we contacted, but we ended up with more money from the sale than we thought was possible, and certainly more than the other agent we had contacted who said we didn't have enough. Dave was an absolute joy to work with. I couldn't recommend him more highly.
