Kudos
I was so pleased with the work Robert did on our house at 12 Bayley. He cleaned it out and cleaned it up! It sold in under a month. I've added a link at our library website to sisters-in-charge. Hope you get some more business!

Dear Denise and gang,
With the passing of our parents, this year has been a really bad one for my family and the thought of having to rid ourselves of their possessions really didn’t go over well with any of us. I enjoy spending my early Saturday mornings going to estate and garage sales and happened across a couple of yours. There was one in particular where I watched you and your team and was highly impressed with the way you handled yourself and how knowledgeable everyone was. I knew there would come a day when I would need your services so after introducing myself to you and speaking for a short time, I knew I was going to hire you when the time came.
My brothers and I were very impressed with the way you handled our estate sale in Plainview in November. You handled everything as if they were your own possessions and showed nothing but respect for the house and its contents. You and your team were extremely friendly and made what started to be a dreaded day a lot better to handle. The sale was a success and we have received numerous phone calls from those who attended who were interested in some of the furniture that hadn’t been sold.
Once again, thank you, Karen, Carol and the rest of the gang for helping us with this sale. I will definitely recommend you to anyone who may be in need of your services. See you on Saturdays……………….

Hello, I wanted to take a moment to express the thanks of myself as well as Lee and Richard for the wonderful work you and your staff did on the Bertley Estate Sale. It has been a long and arduous trail for us and to have one of the final steps handled in such a professional and personal manner is a credit to "Sisters In Charge". Throughout the entire sale and clean-up ordeal, your staff has treated us with respect and honesty and it has been greatly appreciated.

Denise and Staff,
My broker has been highly recommending your services to her clients for the past 10 years and claims she never heard any complaints about Sisters In Charge.
All I can simply say is wow! The estate tag sale services that you and your staff provided were beyond anything that I could have imagine. You were professional, efficient, organized and your integrity throughout the whole process was the most impressive.
I would highly recommend Sisters In Charge to anyone who needs a sale specialist whether you are moving, have an estate, or need a clean-out sale.
Thank you again Denise, John, Carol, Karen, Craig and all others whose names have slip my old mind.
Best Regards,
David

Dear Denise -
This is the only email address I have to write and tell you how very much we regret having called too late to book Sisters in Charge to handle our tag sale at 53 North Road, Hampton Bays.
However, you kindly offered me the information on Robert and his services to clear out a home and have it cleaned for sale. All I can say is: he made what could have been an emotionally difficult and disorganized project of closing a home we had for 37 years into a worry free and beautifully carried out, or engineered, event that left me free to do the things that also involve a closing. He thought of everything that needed to be done and did them so carefully and tactfully.
A real estate agent who checked out the house said he had never seen a home left so perfectly finished and ready for closing. Thank you for your guidance and for Robert's RELOCATORS clean-out service.
Sincerely,
Ann E.

I want to thank you for the success with planning and running my parent's estate sale. Potential buyers were lined up outside the house an hour prior to the sale beginning and you obviously have a loyal following. I can't tell you what a relief it was to have everything sold, not to mention that it was all sold done by noon. Thank's again and I will definitely recommend you to friends and family.

Dear Denise and staff,
I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for the hard work you did at our estate sale. Your company was recommended highly by a friend and we called you. Your staff came in and set everything up and on sale day, there were people already lining up by 9am!! You and your staff are wonderful to work with and we greatly appreciate the help you gave us. We knew we couldn't do all the work that you and your staff did.
In the future, I will highly recommend your services to friends and family.
Wishing you all the best and much success in the future,

Dear Denise:
I was assigned the task of cleaning out an estate home and selling it. I live in NJ and the idea of commuting to Long Island was a daunting assignment. You were highly recommended by my real estate agent and I am thankful to her for the recommendation. From our initial meeting, you acted in a most professional manner and this professionalism continued throughout the entire experience. You assisted me and made a daunting task into a simple assignment In addition during the day of the sale I received several calls from neighbors who were impressed at the volume of traffic that you generated. A testimony to your following and professionalism.
Thank You

Denise,
You and your team where incredible, I could not believe the number of people that showed up. The way you all worked and organized the sale was amazing.
I have to say the money I received for a single day sale had me astonished. When you’re downsizing for a house to a condo there are so many mixed emotions but you made it so much easier I have found a new B.F.F. I will be recommending you to all my friends. Don’t forget to come by for cake and coffee. LOL
Thanks again,

Dear Denise,
This past week I went to 2 Taylor Commons to "inspect" what was left after the tag sale. Much to my delight the place was immaculate and I MEAN IMMACULATE!! I immediately called the owner and he informed me that he had also hired you to remove what didn't sell and clean. That was certainly a wise decision because now the home is ready to sell!!
Denise, I have know you for many years now and you and your company never disappoint me. I will continue to recommend you to my clients, the service you provide is wonderful!
Thanks again,

Although we never had a chance to meet or talk, I wanted to thank you all for the fine work you did finding new homes for my parents’ possessions. This has been a strange and surreal time and there was simply no way—geographically or emotionally—I could have managed the sale. Jen and Garrett were very impressed by your professionalism and I am eternally grateful.
Good thing it was last week!

Dear Denise,
My wife and I want to thank you and your crew for the wonderful job you did at our tag sale. You told me that I could have done it myself, and maybe I could have, but in the craziness of our move, our daughter starting college, and other things, it was well worth having Sisters in Charge take care of everything.
Thanks again

Dear Denise,
Our entire family feels very blessed to have worked with you, your son Rob and your entire staff. We really did not know where to start in moving my parents out of the house they lived in since their wedding…56 years ago. From the moment we met I knew that we were in good hands. The actual clean-out sale far exceeded our expectations. I was nervous that the experience would be difficult for my parents but you and your staff made it anything but. Your son Rob and his crew did an amazing job moving furniture, cleaning out the house after the sale and cleaning the house for the closing.
I have passed on your information to my parent’s agent as well as the buyers agent for future reference. I highly recommend Sisters in Charge to anyone considering the need for an estate sale. Denise and her crew are dependable, honest and a joy to work with.
Many thanks for everything!

Dear Denise,
Kudos for running such a fantastic sale for us today. Your knowledge of the market, expertise, patience, humor and professionalism made what was an overwhelming job for us a pleasure. We were dreading the process of downsizing after 32 years in our home. You made it look easy from set-up to closing with the help of your competent, friendly staff. It was just great to do business with someone who said exactly what they would do, when they would do it and then delivered even more than expected. We admire your business and how you run it with superb skills and integrity. Please convey our appreciation to all of those that helped us today.
Thank you.

Thank you, thank you, Denise for doing such a wonderful job clearing out my years and years of accumulated STUFF. Not only were your staff members efficient, neat, and friendly, but even the many people who regularly come to so many of your tag sales were interesting and nice to meet. I enjoyed telling them the story behind some of the things that they bought.
I had been afraid that I would be heartbroken to part with some items that I've owned for a lifetime, but I actually enjoyed the process immensely! Who knew!
I feel as though a great weight has been removed from my shoulders, and now I'm actually looking forward to the next stage of my life in a smaller home. I'm recommending you to all my friends.

Dear Sisters in Charge,
After the wonderful job that your staff did at my 2 home estate sale for my two sisters and I, I couldn't help but send you a heartfelt thanks. The three of us were so overwhelmed by the thought of selling our fathers and grandfathers possessions that we didn't know where to turn. As everyone, I was skeptical and unsure about hiring an outside source but I was so surprised. Your team was so friendly, professional and hard working. I felt that myself and my sisters, as well as the homes and items, were treated with the utmost respect. It was a job well done. Although it was a hard time for me watching all of my dads possessions go, I enjoyed my experience with the team and would refer you to anyone without a doubt. We never could have sold such a volume of items without your help and believe me it was greatly appreciated.
I can't thank you enough!
Yours truly, Amanda S.

Dear Prospective Clients of Sisters in Charge,
We had never done a tag sale so at first we were hesitant about hiring someone to be responsible to sell our home's contents. We hired Sisters in Charge and kept our fingers crossed. As it turned out, it was the best decision we could have made. Denise and her staff were very professional and handled all the particulars. It ran extremely smoothly as most of the furniture and smaller items were sold. Denise was very straightforward in terms of costs and what our share would be and it was handled with the utmost integrity by Denise. We could not have been any happier and we highly recommend her tag sales services to anyone that needs them.

Dear Denise,
I do not have enough words to thank you for the amazing job that you did with my moving sale this past weekend. To say that it exceeded all of my expectations is a true understatement. The pure ease at which everything was handled was amazing. Everything from the advertising to the set-up was so great that the day the sale came I was not nervous at all. I could hardly believe it when I looked out the window the morning of the sale and there was a line of cars down the block and people lined up down the driveway all waiting for you to open the door. Your clientel that you brought to the sale was far superior than anything I could have hoped for and truly made the sale a huge success and so much more profitable than anything I could have ever attempted on my own. Again, if anyone is ever in need of a recommendation, please have them contact me personally as I cannot express the sincere gratitude that I have for not only the amazingly professional job that you guys did, but the true care and compassion that you all showed during such an overwhelming time.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Dear Denise -
I just wanted to thank you for a job well done. I was not only overwhelmed but also suspicious and mistrusting. I left things in your hands but was very concerned about being ripped off. Its just my nature.
I want everyone to know that I had a great experience and feel only apologetic for my doubts and lack of confidence. Your communications were great and your service was even better. The result exceeded my expectations and you respected my every wish - and remembered some that even I forgot.
Thanks for a job well done!

Dear Denise,
This past weekend was just an amazing experience! We never thought in a million years there would be so many people coming to our estate sale let alone buying most of the items that were there. You did warn us though.
It was Saturday morning at 7AM, three hours before show time mind you, that we got our first wakeup call (no pun intended). We drove past the house only to find a line-up of cars waiting to be the first ones in at 10AM. Throughout the day we would drive past the house and continuously see cars wrapped around the block and parked on both sides of the road. It was a rainy, cold winter day but that didn't stop people from coming. Many items were sold on Saturday but there was still a lot to go. One more day was left to sell the remainder.
On Sunday we didn't think there would be much of a turnout since it was the second day and things were already picked through. Once again we were surprised. The day was just like the day before with tons of people in and out of the house and sheds...and making purchases. At the end of the sale there were some things left but not many. It was a huge success! We could not have done this without you, Denise. You and your team worked hard and were very professional and trust worthy. We thank you for everything you did and would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone who's looking to have an estate sale.
Best regards,
Lou and Diane

Dear Denise –
You can imagine the horror of finding out you have three weeks to move out. To make matters worse we were down sizing from 6000 sq feet to 1000 sq feet. We called Sisters-In-Charge and they came to our house immediately. We carefully went through the house and talked about the items we were planning on taking vs what was for sale. After interviewing several other services we choose Sister's based on reputation and comfortability. A few days before the two day sale they came to our house to set up and talk about pricing. They worked all day and we hardly knew they were even there.
Denise who was very compassionate and understanding of our sitituation was tough as nails when it came to dealing with the buyers for our stuff. She fought hard to get us the best price possible. We were very pleased with the outcome of the sales on both days. Not only did we make money - we also had the luxury of not having to find movers to help empty our house.
I would have to say the best part of the experience was the feeling of "family" that came along with Sisters-in-charge... EVERY SINGLE person working for that company showed us the utmost respect for us as people and our house. I cannot say enough good things about the people they employ.
They made a very difficult moment in our life - much easier...

Dear Denise –
Thank you for all your support in last month's close-out sale. Because of your marketing and great reputation, the sale was a success. Your photos of the house and its contents captured the value and appeal of the items. You were able to display the items attractively and made the material readily available for the customers.
I'm happy to have worked with such a considerate, talented, knowledgeable team. Your staff was understanding and eager to make the sale of the contents of my parents' home so much easier for my family and me, especially in during such an emotional time.
Thank you for offering such care in your service. Best wishes for a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!

Hi Denise—
I am still processing everything that happened this weekend—the hurricane that wasn't, the crowds, the stuff that sold, the stuff that didn't, the dogs, the weather…
Unbelievable!
You and your team are magicians! You took charge and freed me from all responsibility and (almost all) anxiety! You counseled me, fed me and put up with me and for that I am extremely grateful.
Each and every one of your team is special—whether they were giving encouragement or direction or prices or moving furniture, they were kind and professional—which is a difficult combination to achieve when you are dealing with so many people.
And you…the consummate dynamo -- what can I say? You are the heart and soul, the cheerleader – the authority: "She who must be obeyed" from Rumpole of the Bailey. Not a leaf fell without you noticing it…thank you thank you thank you thank you. THANK YOU!
Sincerely,

Dear Denise,
I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you and your staff, Robin, Reesa, Frank and Anthony, for the efficient and professional way you handled my mom's estate sale on Saturday.
The logistics and details of pulling this all together on such short notice was overwhelming and you made it all seem so easy. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome.
It is always difficult to dispose of the personal property of a loved one you have lost and Sisters-In-Charge handled my mom's possessions with care, dignity and respect. She would have been very pleased.
It was wonderful working with you and I would not hesitate to recommend Sister-In-Charge to all my friends, both the sellers and the buyers!
Again, many thanks,
Sincerely,

Just wanted to drop you a line to say how thankful I am for your work and help. My sister is a tough nut to crack and she was very impressed with you.
Thank you for your professionalism and your compassion during a tough transition for my mother. As you probably know, that is the only house she has owned. It is where we were raised and is where my mothers last and longest memories of her life with my father were before he passed.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. You made her move much easier.

Hi Denise ,
What a WHALE OF A SALE we had thanks to you and the Sisters in Charge staff!!!!!!!!!!
Cars began arriving at 5:00 AM on Friday, and they were not disappointed because of the way the home had been professionally set up by Sisters in Charge. People were able to walk from room to room with great ease, picking and choosing the items they wanted. Throughout Friday and Saturday we could hear you directing the staff, and they kept rearranging items so that everything appeared neat at all times. You also have such a unique negotiating ability - and were able to close deals that I never thought would be possible. Dollar wise we earned way more than expected.
Our sincere thanks to you and your staff for a job well done. I would highly recommend Sisters in Charge, and give you a 10 out of 10.
With love and prayers,

We are writing to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the special care you gave us. After my dear husband Sandy’s passing, we were so lost and overwhelmed. God sent you to help us through our grief and to sort through a lifetime of treasures. Although so bittersweet, it brought joy to see new families have the opportunity to enjoy our treasures. Denise, you and your team brought enthusiasm, care, kindness and most of all laughter into our home. Your professionalism and knowledge made our Estate Sale very successful and your team worked diligently from set up to clean up. Please send our thanks to everyone and know you are a cherished friend.

My father is happy in his new place and it was the smoothest transition possible. I am so relived!!

Dear Denise,
This is a long overdue formal thank you for taking on my mother's "Sale and Beyond", this August. Words really can't express the relief I felt in finding you. From the time we sat down to talk I knew I could trust you and that you would keep your word. You did not let us down and there many points along the way where some one else might have, especially given the distance we were communicating from. I was glad you were able to make enough money to pay you and that you took on clearing out most of the stuff so we did not have to involve any more people. Thank you also for communicating with the new owner and dealing with her in a responsible way. Everything you did made out stressful situation less stressful.
I hope the rest of this year goes well for you and yours and the New Year gives you back all the love you make and more.
Take Care,

Hi Denise!
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! I think it was a profitable day for us both. My father-in-law was a horder and I never thought I would be able to get through all his stuff. I was feeling very overwhelmed. You and your fantastic crew came in and within hours had everything cleaned up and set up. I was shocked. I was fascinated by the whole process. You have a great following of people that were very kind and loved to hear the stories behind all the collections. It was a real treat for me to be able to share what a wonderful guy my father-in-law was and his zest for life. I know his things will be appreciated and taken care of. The people you had working with you were hard working, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. Denise, you were a dynamo and I will definitely recommend you to anyone else who could use this type of service.
Thanks again,

Dear Sisters-In-Charge,
When you need to sell your Mom's house on Long Island and you live in Arizona, what do you do? The smartest decision that I made was when I called Sisters In Charge. From our initial conversation, to our frequent talks, Denise puts you at ease and goes above and beyond in anticipating your every need and questions. She makes herself available to you, helping with every detail, in order to accomplish the task of leaving your property empty, spotless and ready for the new owner. Being thousands of miles away, Denise always updated me on every step of her progress.
At the end of our business, I felt that I had a new best friend on Long Island. A million thanks to Sisters In Charge, a first-rate, excellent caring organization.
Sincerely,
Yours,

You and your crew members are true professionals. Everything was so beautifully arranged and displayed. You really know your stuff! You took a job that would have been so difficult for my family and I to handle and make it run so smoothly.
Sisters-In-Charge is made up of kind-hearted, caring people who handled our sale with respect. I haven't stopped talking about it and will continue to recommend your services.
Denise, it was so great meeting you and I know our paths will cross once again.

Once again we want to thank you for everything you, Paulette, John (Dick) and Frankie did to help make our Moving Sale a success and help to eliminate much of the stress associated with that kind of endeavor.
Both Ed and I were very impressed by how professional everything was handled, Yet from the first time you came into our home, it felt like you were a good friend and not just a person running a business. By the time our sale was over we felt we did make new friends with all of you.
You are all warm, honest, caring people with hearts of gold. I have recommended "The Sisters In Charge" To everyone who asks about our sale and I tell everyone how wonderful it was to work with you.
We truly meant it when we said that we would love you to give us a call the next time you come to visit your sister in Florida, we are only 45 minutes from her.
Please come and visit,

Dear Denise,
I just wanted to write and thank you soooo much for the job you and your crew did! Sisters in Charge took what seemed to be an impossible task and made it happen. You are truly a professional at what you do, not to mention honest and fair, with your client's interest at heart.
The sale on May 27th and 28th was amazing. I had never seen anything so smoothly and efficiently set up and run. I sat back and shook my head at the relief that I felt to be in such capable hands.
It is a rare occurrence today to find someone so trustworthy and dependable as you and your crew--you were all wonderful, understanding of my situation, supportive of my needs in going through such a big undertaking as selling a house, clearing it out, and moving on. The "happening" was more like a party than the ordeal I had expected and agonized over.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking over this grueling task AND making me money to boot!! You are a great business woman and a wonderful person! Best of luck in your business and life--
Always!! Lynn Lorenzetti
