In Their Own Words…
See what our clients have to say about working with Estate Sales by Cheryl.
“After the passing of a family member, we were overwhelmed with the task of clearing the hoarded conditions of their home. Cheryl came recommended and upon speaking with her we immediately knew she was the one to take this task! Cheryl is kind, compassionate, and sensitive to the needs of a family. She is very knowledgeable in her field and yet willing to take the time to research deeper into the value of items to assure her clients are not shortchanged.
Cheryl is always available and if need be daily interacting with her clients and fielding any issue that arises. There was never any delay in her responding to our questions. Due to a second property being out of her service area, I was left to search for another company. At that consultation I was left aghast at the unprofessionalism and rudeness of the owner and was left desperately missing Cheryl. Unbeknownst to us, we continued to be on Cheryl's mind as she was trying to find a way to help our situation. She referred an auction company to us and it ended up being just what we needed. Cheryl always has her clients interests front and center. There is no need to look elsewhere...Cheryl and her employees are the best and you will be grateful to have them working for you during what can be a very trying and emotional process.”

“Cheryl was wonderful to work with. She treated my late parents’ home and possessions with the utmost care and respect and communicated with us throughout the entire process. The proceeds of the sale far exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to have an estate sale.”
– G. Klig
“I visit quite a few estate sales in the area and Cheryl always has such well organized sales with beautiful items. She is always quick to answer any questions and help you find items you are looking for. I love treasure hunting especially when it’s one of her sales.“
– Sandy G.
“My Mother passed and left me with a condo full of her belongings. She bought her condo 20 years ago and moved a house full of her stuff in with her. Since then, she has added to it and left me with a daunting task. I worked for months and only got the drawers cleaned out, I was frustrated and in over my head. Several estate sales places wanted a sizable "set up fee" with no guarantee of success. When Cheryl's name was given to me and I made contact, faith was renewed that I could get this done. Not only was there no set up fee, but she was there more than I was setting up the sale. I had so little to do that I almost felt guilty. The sale was a success and she got rid of a ton of Mom's stuff. She posted Mom's things on her web site and continued selling after sale was done. She took things on consignment and I'm still getting checks in the mail. I recommend you use Estate Sales by Cheryl if you’re serious about getting rid of all that stuff. I'm sure glad I did!”

“I have responded to ratings on EstateSales.net and rate Cheryl as Very High because she is so organized, professional and helpful when ever I attend one of her sales. Recently she helped a dear friend with a china cabinet that my friend had been looking for for months. Perfect price and helpfulness in finally finding exactly what she wanted. I never go home empty handed either.”
– M. HIcks
“Cheryl is the consummate pro. Empathetic. Kind. Patient and thorough. She is in it with you every step of the way. You can count on her as an honest but go-getting entrepreneur. Take her advice. Let her do her thing. She will deliver. We could not have moved without her. We were grateful and very happy with the results.”
– N. Kern
“Wonderful Estate Sale! Today was the first day of Cheryl's sale. I went expecting the usual high prices and didn't expect to buy anything. I was pleased to see that Cheryl organizes and prices the items in the home so that buyers can buy first day, while at the same time doing right by her client! People were making piles and buying was so much fun. I will put Cheryl's sales as my #1 priority!”
– Lyn T.
“Certainly, there are many reasons for people to have Estate Sales. I had the good fortune to find Estate Sales by Cheryl after speaking with several other companies. I knew from my very first telephone conversation with Cheryl that I wanted to use her company for my sale. Cheryl's enthusiasm, professionalism and experience enabled me to stay calm during what can be a very emotional time. She is extremely organized and knows intuitively how to perform a sale from start to finish, but also is very open to the input of her clients. Cheryl always exhibits a very positive and energetic outlook which translates to a successful sale. This is a very personal endeavor and it is very comforting to know that you can trust the person at the helm. Cheryl is that person and I recommend Estate Sales by Cheryl to anyone who is even thinking about having a sale since this is a "no-pressure," sincere and caring businesswoman who will deliver each and every time!”
– Susan P.
“Cheryl has far exceeded our family's hopes and expectations in her work on the sale she just completed at my mom's home. Through her work, she sold more than we thought might sell and most importantly, sold many of the bigger items so we don't have to have them moved. These are outstanding results, but the way she conducts business is equally impressive. She worked tirelessly in organizing everything, displaying it in a way that made it look like you were walking into a professionally designed store, pricing it in a way designed to sell and maximize value (she has a great sense of pricing). Further, she is extremely cordial, ethical, personable, and spoke often about her desire to do a good job for our family and respect the beautiful things my mom had collected. She did all of that and more. Several of my mom's friends went by the sale as well as my mom's neighbors. While doing all that she did to maintain the sale, she still managed to talk with these neighbors and friends of my mom's and make them feel welcome.”

“My mother passed away last year and had antique china, silver and other items from my grandmother and older which were lovely, but I didn't have space to keep the items. Cheryl and "estatesalesbycheryl" picked up the items from my mother's condo and sold them on consignment. Not only was Cheryl pleasant, honest and empathetic while she helped me, but she also has a keen business sense for the estate sales market pricing and antiques. Cheryl was a pleasure to work with, and sold my items at a good price. She is very professional at what she does, and again, very pleasant to deal with. Would highly recommend Cheryl and her services.”
– C. Sager
“Cheryl had to sell our furniture from MD while we were in FL. I found Cheryl's services in a local newspaper. She had to coordinate all sales with my daughter in order to enter our condo. She did this seamlessly. Cheryl kept in touch with me every step of the way. She was efficient and gave me good advice about what prices to accept. Cheryl had broken her ankle just as we needed her services. However despite that setback, Cheryl got right on it. She is professional, explained everything up front, and sent a very important contract for us to sign. Once furniture sold, she and my daughter were able to transfer funds easily and in a timely manner.”
“I would recommend Cheryl to anyone looking to sell furniture or other items in a home. She is a consummate professional and clearly knows what she is doing. This is her business and she is proud of it. She is friendly and fun to communicate with, which is a bonus when conducting business! Thank you, Cheryl.”

“My mother passed away in April 2020. It was an extremely difficult time and I felt overwhelmed by the responsibilities I had - including going through all of her belongings and selling her home. I think I visited my mom's place a dozen times after she passed and I would just stand in the middle of a room not knowing where to start or what to do. My mom's neighbor suggested having an estate sale and by good fortune I found Cheryl in a local advertisement. She was such an amazing blessing and help to me! She met with me right away and put me at ease with the task at hand. Once I had removed all keepsake items, I turned the whole place over to Cheryl to inventory and sell. She did everything! The sale was a success and her fees were incredibly reasonable - especially considering the amount of work she did. After the sale was complete, Cheryl even advised me on how and where I could donate the remaining items. Cheryl was wonderful, professional, organized and trustworthy and I would highly recommend her. Thank you Cheryl for making a difficult time a little easier!”
– T. Cain
“What an amazing experience! From the moment that I met Cheryl and told her about the sale of my mom’s things as she was moving to Florida, she was on top of things from the start. She constantly was in contact with me and my mom, always was responsive and did a great job with the sale. I would recommend Cheryl to help you on your sale. She works 24/7 and is a pleasure to work with her. Great job Cheryl.”

“Cheryl is professional and personable. She really offered me an education in a visit and several conversations. Following a visit to my condo she concluded that an estate sale would NOT work for me. This was very valuable information.
Cheryl had practical suggestions, offered different options for moving forward, and put me in touch with several buyers/dealers. Cheryl's good judgement about estate items, and her helpful suggestions have been very helpful to me.
I recommend her to anyone considering a move or needing to downsize.”

“My mother passed away in February 2022. My mother lived in our family home that I grew up in for almost 60 years in Potomac, MD. I was completely overwhelmed with all the contents that needed to be cleaned out and sold in order to sell the house. Cheryl came highly recommended from my realtor. I met with her and I immediately felt comfortable with her. She had a plan. We set a date for the Estate Sale.
Cheryl explained precisely what I needed to do before she could come into the house and start pricing each and every item left in the house for the estate sale.
Cheryl was thorough and professional from the get go. I immediately trusted her and l felt comfortable leaving everything in her hands from start to finish. I could not have gotten through this very intense period of time without Cheryl. I highly recommend her.”
– H. Mindel
“Cheryl and her crew are always very helpful and more than willing to do whatever it takes to take care of their customers.”
– A. Ballard
“My mom passed fairly recently and I had the task of emptying 55 years of accumulated possessions as my mom was, let's face it, a hoarder. Cheryl was recommended as a professional with an excellent reputation. Cheryl was very reliable and was able to meet my compressed schedule as the home unexpectedly sold ‘as is’ which was quite the surprise. Cheryl and her team spent almost two weeks pricing the items in the home and executed on an excellent sale which exceeded my expectations. More importantly, part of our ‘deal’ was she was going to manage a 3rd party contractor to remove 100% of the remaining items in the home (four truckloads full!) to be ready for the sale. Again, she exceeded my expectations. I recommend her without hesitation.”
