Dear Robin,
I write to thank you for the work you did
in handling the disposal of my mother’s household furnishings following her
death in late July of this year. My family was overwhelmed with grief and at the
same time had to face the dismantling of her condominium after it quickly sold
in late September – just 14 days after we had put it on the market. In the
property listing, we had promised immediate occupancy to the buyer, but were
caught unprepared when the closing date was arranged within two weeks of the
sale.
Your company was able to arrange an
Estate
We especially appreciated that your
company left the condominium spotless after the sale, including placing plastic
sheeting on the floors (on the first sale day we had a rain storm and we didn’t
have to worry about visitors soiling the carpet), sweeping and vacuuming the
floors after the sale, putting the garbage out for pickup on garbage day and
arranging for a charity to pick up whatever did not sell.
You took care of everything for us. We
had no duties or responsibilities once you and your crew took over and nothing
to worry about.
Thank you, for your quick response and
for the efficient and professional way you conducted the sale.
Sincerely,
Patricia B. (October 2009)
Hi Robin,
Just to let you know how much we
appreciate all of the work that you did for our estate sale. You and Carl
and the rest of your staff were so great to work with and so very professional
at every step. We feel very lucky to have chosen your company to
handle the sale. We had many nice comments from visitors of the sale
about how carefully things were displayed and sold.
We are hoping that having the house for
sale at the same time will get people interested in the wonderful lakeside
setting we experience every day. Keep your fingers crossed.
We are very happy with the way things
turned out.
Thanks again,
Pat & Stuart T. (August 2009)
Hi Robin,
Thank you
for your kind words, I do enjoy your sales. By far you put on the most
professional, clean and extremely organized sales that I ever attend! And of course, you are always so willing and
happy to assist your customers with anything. Thanks again and see
you at the next one.

Robin,
Just a note of thanks for all your work.
What you were able to do and accomplish for us went far beyond
our estate sale objectives. Thank you for all your concern to be
both professional and honorable in your dealings. You deservedly
earned your just commission and are a great example to any
who wish to see true business professionalism.
I wish you the best in all your dealings and once again - Thank You
and may God bless you.
Sincerely and appreciatively yours,

To Whom It May
Concern:
Honest,
hardworking, knowledgeable. These are
the words that led me to Robin Cohen and her staff at Antiques on Main Estate Sales.
I was in a
region I was not familiar with. I was in
a circumstance I had never experienced, unexpected hospice soon followed by
death. My head was spinning with the
thought of having to close this estate in a very short amount of time. I was away from my home and children. I had the
fear of losing a job if I stayed away too long.
I knew I couldn’t come back. Grieving seemed to take a backseat.
As I spoke to
residents of
Robin answered
my telephone call the same day. She made
an appointment and came to meet with me the following day. Robin stated in a clear concise manner what
she and her staff could do to help me when I was ready. She demonstrated the utmost respect for my
situation.
Robin and her
team arrived on time each day and often worked 12 hour days. They knew the answer to any questions I had,
from township guidelines to places to eat!
Robin and her
team had a rhythm to their work. Each
player had a part. Research,
staging, prepping, and set up.
Everyone was pleasant and highly respectful of the situation in which
they worked. The home took on a new life
and the sale was flawless. I was able to
travel back home with the peace of mind that I had done my best.
I would highly
recommend Antiques on Main Estate Sales.
With much
appreciation,
Laurie E.
I really appreciate all of your hard work!!! I will recommend you to
everyone!!! You are FABULOUS!!! And such a pleasure to deal
with.

Just wanted
to say you guys are amazing. You do such a nice job setting these Estate sales
together and are always so friendly and helpful. On another note, might I
suggest that when "taping" prices if there is another alternate way,
as sometimes when I go to take the tape off it is on solid and rips the paint
or paper off of the item, just sharing my concern.
Thanks for listening and again.
Thanks for ANOTHER GREAT
Dear Robin,
I received your letter
with the list of items sold and the very nice check, making me both impressed
and appreciative of your ability to sell these items at substantial
prices. It's comforting to think that our former family possessions are now
in places where they will be taken good care of.
My life here at Timber
Ridge in
Thanks again for your
efforts.
Sincerely,

Dear Antiques on
My husband and I
discovered the joy of estate sale shopping a couple of years ago. Since then,
we have decorated our home with so many unique and beautiful items that we
would never have been able to afford from a retail
shop. Who would want to anyhow! Family and friends tell us our home looks like
it belongs in a magazine or they feel like they are on a movie set.
Many of our treasured
items have been purchased from your estate sales. We try not to miss an estate
sale by Antiques on
I also love the fact that
I am getting expert advice from you, unlike most other estate sales that we
have been to. I know you are knowledgeable and honest about your items. I just wanted
to say thank you! I can see that all of you work very hard at what you do and I
wanted to tell you that someone out here notices your efforts and truly
appreciates them. See you at the next sale!

Dear
Robin,
The package with all the information
about the estate sale and the proceeds check arrived via DHL Express delivery
on Thursday of this week. It's an impressive amount of information you
assembled and I do appreciate the records of all those many items we once owned.
Following
your instructions I was able to access and print copies of the sale
announcement posted on the estatesales.net website with its 99 photographs
of the house contents. - Good photos, nicely presented.
I wanted to tell you that I am very
pleased with the estate sale and have great admiration for your
capability, resourcefulness and hard work. You more than earned your
portion of the proceeds. I also have admiration for the support given by
your husband and sons. It's a wonderful family you have.
Sincerely,
Bill W.

In regards to your
sale this past weekend, I was there on Saturday and Sunday and I am writing to
thank you for having the sale. YOU and all of your workers are so nice and
kind. It was wonderful to find every item with a price tag on it. I did
not have to go and ask, like the sales that another estate sale company has.
Thanks again and I wish I had more money with me. I would have bought a few
more things that I wanted. If you have some type of mailing list, I
would sure like to be on it for your next sale. Thanks again for having
your sale. I sure appreciate all of your kindness and helpful workers,
especially the nice young man with the dark hair that was writing things up on
Sunday afternoon. He was so patient with me because I was so concerned if I had
enough money and he was so kind about it.

Robin Cohen is nothing short of amazing!
My parent’s condo sold in
Days later, she arrived punctually to view my parent’s
condo. She looked at everything; from
the garage to the lower level, researched specific signed items for pricing,
asking for any concerns or questions which I may have and said she would love
to do this sale. Believe me, I was the
more excited one to have found her! I loved her staff; they were all so very
kind, honest and hard working. The way
Robin staged the condo with all the priced items was spectacular. All crystal
was washed, linens folded and starched and silver polished and all displayed in
such lovely shelving units. It really
looked better than I ever remembered… sorry mom. Robin completely transformed my parent’s
condo.
At the end of the 3-day sale, left over goods were itemized
and donated to a wonderful charity that Robin contacted. It felt good knowing all of my parent’s
possessions were being recycled if you will to help others. The entire condo
was vacuumed and swept clean at the end of the sale. Robin typed out in detail what was donated
along with the charity’s receipt. Post sale a large envelope arrived in the
mail containing the numbered receipts listing the purchase price people paid,
digital photos were also taken prior to the sale and were included in my
package along with my check. It was all
so well executed from the beginning to the end.
It is truly without hesitation that I am recommending Robin
Cohen of AOM ESTATE SALES to do your estate sale or act as your professional
appraiser- you will enjoy her vivacious personality and respect her knowledge.

“Robin, I just wanted to write you to tell you that you're fabulous, and a life saver!
After
we had that disastrous first estate sale, we didn't know what to do.
As you know, most of the furniture and smalls were left. My husband
was devastated (for his father) and I was sick about the horrible job
the first guy did. The house was trashed!
We
didn't know what we were going to do with all of the 'stuff', we couldn't tell
my 93 year old father in law that no one liked his stuff. I decided to call you
and see if you would help us sell the rest, even though we (mistakenly) didn't
use you as our first choice estate sale person. When I called, you were so
unbelievably gracious and kind. You came out that evening to see what we were
dealing with...........you couldn't believe what had transpired, and there on
the spot you promised to help us find good homes for the rest of the
stuff. When you said you would have a 1 day sale the following Saturday, we
were so relieved we could have cried. It worked out so perfectly! You
sold 99% of the remaining contents, and got great prices for everything.
Not to mention, you left the house spotless,
and even waited at the house for the few donated items to be picked up. Which was great for us, since we live in
You
were such a mench about
everything...................you are terrific, I wish
I lived there so I could tell everyone about you.
When I
am ready for an estate sale here in Indy, I hope I can talk you into
coming here!
Take
care and thank you again...sooo much”

you to many! Thank you so much”

“Once again, I love how you are advertising your
sales!!! You have definitely left your competition in the dark
ages!! I wanted to tell you how much I love that you share pictures of
some of the contents of the home that is for sale. I am inquiring about
the rugs you mention. I am still looking and trying to find a non machine made oriental rug. Can you share any information on them with
me? Thanks!”

“Thanks for
putting the fun back into estate sales.
I want to
commend you on the way you conduct your estate sales. Your e-mails that give
the times, location and a summary of the items entice people to attend. Your
sales are clean, very well organized and your fair prices are clearly
displayed.
Your staff is
pleasant and helpful. Additionally, having the young men who help carry our
purchases is a plus.”
