FamilyFirst Estate Sales & Liquidations, LLC

Karen,
You told me exactly what you were going to do and you followed through The value to me was: You not only did the sale and got us more money than we imagined, you also arranged for a charity and left the house empty!
Thank you for all of your hard work!

Karen,
You are very professional, organized, and sensitive to your clients' needs You put us at ease at a very emotional time You worked very hard on organizing, displaying, and inventorying the contents of the sale, and were able to accelerate the proposed sale date by 3 weeks, which was very much appreciated
She does a good job of staging and selling the items Based on feedback from other estate organizations that we interviewed, Karen was able to exceed our expectations in sales.
Thanks Again, Best Regards,

I liked the Karen kept me informed of everything that went on, the
organization of the entire planning was awesome, and the profit was much
more than we could've made as a family Everything was smooth and
efficient Karen was friendly and empathetic She was professional
from start to finish I liked the way everything that sold was itemized.
She takes a lot of burden and heart ache from the family.
Thank you so Much!

Dear Karen,
Thank you for doing my sale for me You are so efficient, so organized,
so professional, so caring, and more! I was impressed by the way you
"staged" the sale and by your business expertise.
I love the result, which I could have never gotten on my own.

Karen,
The thing that I liked most was the professionalism of handling my parents' estate sale as well as the human caring side. While it was very difficult to see a lifetime of family items for sale, the way FamilyFirst handled it made everything feel better I would Highly recommend this company to handle a person's personal possessions.

------------------------------------------------------ We needed a quick response and you came immediately Once we established a time frame you were able to accomodate that goal and render a successful sale Next, No Surprises In the end, we liked You best!
We were very pleased with the entire process from the first phone call until close During the process we had questions, not questioning but an educational process You were easy to address and you always responded quickly, professionally, and kindly You considered the emotional piece that can play into this type of endeavor and truly did consider Family First You go the extra mile. I checked on you!! I was cuirous when I had to come in during prep stage to see if the a/c was adjusted IT WAS!! True indicator to me that you were treating this as if it were your home Not only did you take precautions for extra security but our best interest in an area that you certainly didn't have to.
It told me alot so I left town! You clearly had this compassionately under control You explained things thoroughly and when we needed to go over an area or learn more details, you told us again with a friendly attitude Highly Recommend to one and all!
Sherrie Williams Estate of Barbara Wilkerson Bell June 2012 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
I really liked the way in which Karen handled the entire process from start to finish She is a warm and professional lady Karen was very willing to be flexable on pricing when needed and to go the extra mile when customers wanted to pick-up items on Sunday I loved the way she cleaned up afterwards and how she was so safety conscious throughout the whole process I would recommend her services to handle anyone's estate.

Charles Norton Estate of Earl Douglas Norton Jr. Oak Cliff-(Dallas)--November 2011 -------------------------------------------------------- I'm writing this letter of recommendation for Karen Walterscheid and FamilyFirst Estate Sales because Karen was literally our "angel" in our time of need!! We hired her to hold a "living" estate sale for my elderly brother-in-law, whom we had to move to Austin due to health issues We put his home on the market Feb. 1, hoping to get it sold quickly We got a great offer the early part of July, and had to 'vacate' his home by July 29th, our closing date After contacting Karen, she met our realtor at the house, and agreed to do our sale This was about 2 weeks before we had to be completely out of the house! She worked very hard over this time to organize, mark, research, etc..all the belongings still in the home! She had the 3-day sale, and did a fantastic job for us.....giving us much more $$ than we'd thought possible!! She even arranged for a charity to come to the home after the sale, pick-up anything left and gave my brother-in-law a receipt for his taxes When we arrived back at the house, we were shocked to find that it was just PERFECT!! Everything had been cleaned thoroughly....we had nothing to do!! She earned her $$ many times over!! We were so pleased w/everything about the way Karen handled this for us, as we live in Austin, Tx...not Fort Worth, so we weren't up there to "supervise" and ck on how things were going! We would recommend Karen HIGHLY to anyone needing help with finalizing an estate....she even used a spread sheet to show us exactly what had been sold, and the price for each thing sold! We needed someone to do this quickly, and efficiently...getting us the most $$ we could for my brother-in-law Thanks again, Karen, SO MUCH for all your help!!

Karen,
Thank you so much for handling my father's estate sale.
When I found out that I would have to sort through, clean, organize, price and undertake a complete sale of all the items my dad had accumulated over a lifetime I was overwhelmed Your professional performance in taking care of all that, and so much more that I didn't even realize I was facing, was outstanding When I saw the sale you presented I was amazed Your experience and integrity make you the right choice for anyone facing the challenge of an estate sale and I am pleased to recommend you.
Regards,

Karen,
Your caring and professional manner helped us greatly as we faced emptying my beloved aunt's apartment You took care of the inventory, sale, and disposition of her things; all while I was living on the East Coast You were a great help to our family by handling a sad, but necessary task; smoothly, and efficiently I recommend your services to any family with similiar needs.
Thank you,

After contacting numerous Estate Sales representatives for help in selling my mother's estate, I was referred to Karen Walterscheid and decided to have her conduct the sale.
My decision was easy, Karen, not only was the best priced option, she was honest, prompt, clean, organized and wonderful to work with.
Karen was able to work within a restricted time limit, on short notice, and in a neighborhood that had rules on estate sales.
Karen was successful in selling most of my mother's estate for the best prices. The few items that remained she took on consignment and promptly paid me after they sold.
I highly recommend Karen Walterscheid and will definitely use her services again.
