“Recently my husband and I downsized our lives from 3600 sq. feet to about 1600 sq feet in midtown-meaning little closet space available. This sort of life change for empty nesters is liberating, but most of all it is daunting, scary, and full of many pitfalls. My problem was that we had collected too much stuff over the course of living in a house for 20 years, along with harboring my kids’ things, and inheriting more stuff from both sets of parents that I had no idea how to begin to rid ourselves of too much stuff. (Yes I can only call it stuff—not material goods and/or wealth, or precious memories that we wanted to keep.) So we moved much of what we wanted to our new small abode, leaving all that stuff to dispose of in a timely and reasonable manner. While a garage sale might have been the answer, there was no way for us to make that happen, my husband’s schedule was too full, and certainly I did not have the wear with all to attempt it mostly alone.

My solution? Step One, visit the Memphis Better Business Bureau to assess Estate Sale companies—that website even allows you to email your selected businesses directly-super! Step Two, I selected several companies to come over to look over my house and provide bids. Step Three, EASY, I selected Justus and Company for a number of great reasons.

- They looked at my many leftovers with positive advice.
- They could “stage” my house in an appropriate light to increase sales.
- Their commission percentages was a great bargain just above the going rate of 35%—and worth every penny, believe me, but at the time I really did know just how much they worked for a great sale. Again, an amazing bargain!
- They are honest, hold integrity as their prime business principle, and extremely capable. They have a BBB rating of A+, well earned and well deserved.
- They could stage my house and have a sale in a short period of time—no more agonizing.
So, in the end my sale was a smashing success, Justus and Company took great care of my stuff, sold it at appropriate prices and voila, problem solved! Moreover, they took great care of me and my husband through the process. I could not have asked for more, and we are truly grateful for their professionalism, common sense approach to helping us through this process, an above all they are incredibly easy to work with or alongside!

So if you are seeking an estate sale company, check with Justus and Company first and probably that will be your only consultation. I am available for an extended phone reference if needed.”
