Testimonials

"After interviewing 4 or 5 different groups, these ladies came in. After walking the house, my brother and I decided to sign with them. They were knowledgeable, or they said the had someone who was. In 3 days, they were able to do what we couldn't do in a year. They washed the extensive amount of glassware, polished my mom's silver, setup tables and truly transformed the house. Its pretty amazing. They did what we couldn't do. Detach emotions and memories to do what needed to get done. The sale was much more productive than we thought it would and within a week the house was completely empty and payment received. They truly do a great service. I don't write many reviews, but I gladly write one when its deserved. I give them my highest recommendation. I will be forever grateful." - Lee, Overland Park
