When my mother died in April, 2007, Linda and I had no idea how to go about the overwhelming task of emptying Mother’s house. We were strangers here in North Florida and had no contacts who could help. It scared the hell out of us. Ray and Maribeth rode to the rescue.
 We did our homework: called some of their previous clients and even attended one of their sales near us. Everyone we talked to was completely positive in their comments about the work Ray and Maribeth do, and their personal qualities as well.
 Now it’s time to add our two cents.

 Ray and Maribeth are thoroughly professional and knowledgeable. They know their market very well, as well as the markets for the things they’ll sell for you. Ray really knows his way around with tools and other guy stuff. Maribeth is excellent with jewelry and furniture. Their on-call book and art experts (Vera and Mary Jane) are wonderful. We have no doubts about anyone’s honesty at American Estate Sales. The actual sale looked very professional and was handled very professionally. This is a classy operation.

 Ray and Maribeth are fine people; we enjoyed spending time with them, which included a few social occasions. They are both personable and interesting.

 If they only operated 2000 miles to the west, we’d employ their services again when it’s time to empty our own house for a move to the West Coast.

Bill and Linda Greer, San Francisco, CA. July 2007

"In mid-July of 2005, after the death of my sister, I engaged Ray and Maribeth Jones of American Estate Sales to arrange an estate sale for her household goods. They conducted the estate sale professionally, expeditiously, and competently. I was enormously satisfied with the skillful manner in which they set up and exhibited a rather large household of goods and furniture..... I was tremendously impressed by the quality of the work they did for me. And not only was the sale implemented, as I have said, with extraordinary efficiency, but Ray and Maribeth, because each possesses such a good sense of humor, made it all fun! I cannot recommend them too highly." Josiah B. Gould, Emeritus Distinguished Teaching Professor of Philosophy, University at Albany, SUNY, Albany, New York
