Received your check and the sales results today. Thank you for all of your efforts. I will let all my friends in Chicago that are in my situation know about you and your skills. Also, I know Kelly Leggett has added you to his list of estate sale people on his website.
Thanks again,

It was a pleasure working with you and the girls. I hope you all have recovered from this adventure! I really appreciate you taking this project on. You were all so nice to my family which made this so much easier. If you ever need to use me as a reference just let me know.
Thanks

We are extremely pleased with the work done by Timesavers at the family home in Northbrook. The very highest effort is put into the job, and the follow through on all levels is outstanding. It’s very rare in this day and age to have the feeling that you are partnering with someone who feels personally responsible for the outcome of the work. Notice of the sale featured various electronic communications, so that the right people attended the sale. Our job was a big one, with a lot of organizing, a very busy sale, and a large clean up. Everything was done efficiently and well, and in a short time frame. Professionals were called in to evaluate various items, and the financial outcome was more than satisfactory. Charlene communicated with us in a very timely manner throughout the process. In short, it’s hard to imagine better people to work with in what can be a very stressful time.

Dear Charlene:
Just a note of thanks for all the work that you and your terrific staff did for our estate/moving sale. Karen and Draga couldn’t have been nicer...and you coordinated everything like a zen master! Most important, you got us the results we were looking for— and a handsome check to boot!
With appreciation,

Sorting through 45-years of memories, antiques and nicknacks stuffed into a modest two story house is a tough job no matter how you look at it. It took me and my brother 10-months to clean out our parents house in Wilmette, IL. During that time period we had to make a lot of tough decisions on what to keep and what to get rid of. One of our biggest decisions was who we could trust with the estate sale. After doing a lot of research we picked Timesavers Estate Sales. Picking Timesavers was by far one of the best decisions we made during the 10-month process. Originally we thought we could operate the sale ourselves but we quickly learned that that mountain was just too hard to climb. Charlene and her crew came in and brought order to the chaos. I cannot imagine working with anyone else but Charlene and TimeSavers. We will forever be in her debt for helping us when we needed help the most.

Good Morning Charlene,
Len and I are happy the sale went well. We had gone by the house Friday evening to see the pricing and set-up and we both were satisfied with all you and your staff had done. I truly appreciate all you have done to make the sale go as well as it did. So you know you gave me such relief from the stress of the sale and all it entailed. I would recommend you and your company to anyone thinking of doing the same type sale.
Thank you so much for all you did.
.
Regards,
Nancy, Carol Stream, IL

"Charlene and her team are experts at evaluating and pricing used goods, as well as collectibles and antiques. They know the market for the town where the sale is held. Everything is priced to sell, but nothing is 'given away.'
I was pleased with their service and would recommend Timesavers to anyone."

It is I who should be thanking you/TimeSavers! I think you and your team did a WONDERFUL job. And you're all such nice people too! Trustworthy and amiable. I'm very happy with the results!
I'm quite proud of the whole experience actually. Very glad that you were out there offering this type of service, that you were easy to contact, that you came out to meet w/me, and were willing to help. Your demeanor (and that of your folks) is good (not snootie at all!). You're industrious, knowledgeable, well organized, and you made good recommendations. You put my worries at ease. You are good at what you do and I'd DEFINITELY not hesitate to recommend you to anyone!

Dear Charlene,
I want to thank you for the excellent job you did in handling our recent moving sale. The planning, organization, advertising and execution of our sale were top-notch. You and your staff were professional and also very friendly, making our sale a pleasant experience. Our sale was a great success! We were pleased at every aspect of your operation.
In addition to a successful sale, your help in disposing of our remaining items to charitable organizations through consignment and donation was invaluable. We had only two days between our sale and our move date and both of the organizations you suggested packed and picked up our items during that short time.
Your services saved me enormous time and relieved a lot of the stress of downsizing and moving. I would highly recommend Timesavers Estate Sales to anyone in need of estate or moving sale assistance.
Sincerely,
Jan Odegard

"Charlene, I'm very pleased how you and your team treated me and my household items. Thank you. I represent an actual estate and if the executor wants to sell, will recommend you. Regards."

"I need you to know how grateful I am for your existence in my life. That you and your team were able to help me downsize my single family home in Lincoln Park after my wife was placed in assisted living with Alzheimer’s Disease will be something I’ll never forget. Not only were you able to help me organize and price 30 years of accumulated personal history, your team was able to get it all sold and out of my home allowing me to move to my new apartment. The scope and timing of your efforts was nothing less than miraculous. And I was very pleased with the financial results as well.
It was nothing short of sad irony that my dear sister passed away during July, the month you were doing my estate sale. When my sister’s family asked for help in finding someone to help do an estate sale of my sister’s belongings I was thrilled to be able to recommend you. And you did it again! My sister’s home in Worth was a true challenge but again you and your team rose to the occasion and got the job done in record time. My nieces and nephews are still raving about you. What they had intended on putting into dumpsters netted them thousands of dollars. Further, you emptied the house so quickly and efficiently that we were able to put the home on the market and caught the very end of the fall real estate market. The closing takes place December 3rd. Charlene, you know your stuff and you know that I will continue to recommend you to friends, family, and clients forever. "
With sincere gratitude,

“I wanted to take the time and thank you for the work and effort Timesavers put forth in the estate sale for my late uncle. In what was a very trying time, you absolutely delivered on all commitments pre as well as post sale. It was a pleasure working with you and I will recommend Timesavers to all looking for a professional aid in estate and moving sales. Thank you again for all your help.”
K. Downing, Franklin Park

“I would like to thank you and Timesavers for holding a successful estate sale at my mother’s home. During this time of high stress you were able to make everything seem so easy. I really had nothing more to do than mark what items I did not want you to sell. You did the rest. I really appreciated how clean you left the home, it did not go unnoticed. The advertising must have been really good as I understand there was a constant stream of people coming to the sale. Once again thank you for your professional, friendly services.”

“Writing this recommendation letter comes to me with a great deal of satisfaction. The Timesavers team kicked into full operation sorting and pricing three levels of our house for the big event. The advance advertising in the media and Internet, plus the important signage, all kicked in for a huge success. The final aftersale is a critical part of a decision for selecting an estate sale company. To this end, Timesavers fulfilled every part of their agreement, and I would be happy to give them a five star rating and referral.”
