Michael, thank you so very much for accepting the task of my aunt and uncle's estate sale.
Randy and his team are awesome and very thorough in their craft. Randy called to get approval on Thursday and Friday evenings of doing a percentage cut the following day.
I heard from some of my friends that the house was staged to perfection and the workers were very helpful.
I will positively recommend your company to anyone who needs to turn over an estate sale to professionals!
Thank you.

We always enjoy your estate sales, Michael! Thanks for taking the time to talk to us (and our kids!).
We also love your staff, who take our kids seriously when they bring a little tool or toy and try and negotiate the price.
Your sales have been wonderful business training for them (and for us!).
Thanks so much!

Mr. Taylor: We would like to thank you for conducting a professional sale for my mother on Sept. 17-19, 2015.
The work your staff did in displaying and cleaning is a testimony in itself. We were very satisfied with the results.
I would like to make a request, if possible, if you still have the pictorial posting that was used on your web site for advertising this sale. It would be a nice record for us to have as well as for Mother.
We have recommended your company to other friends who will soon be needing your services. Again, thank you for your professionalism in what is often a stressful time for family.

Michael Taylor and staff. I just wanted to tell you about a few sales I have been to over the last few weeks.
As I browse through Estate Sales.com. It's really amazing how you present your hard work by the photos . I know your staff work really hard to be ready for up coming sales, and it shows how neat and tidy and how you present your items.
I been to a lot of sales and its a shame how some companies post some of their items. I guess some have no pride in their work. I hear how people complain about prices, well I told someone look at the presentation , and you serve coffee and cookies and water...that's a great plus and your staff have worked hard, but I still get that Good morning smile and always someone there to help find some articles that I want.
Now after people read this, which I hope they do...and I hope other Estate Sales Owners read this.. I love going to your sales...sometimes I just want to say hello to your staff, they always make me smile for the DAY.??.
Yes please post this...and can you leave out my name... See you Thursday??

Michael - I'm putting a more appropriate letter in the mail but I didn't want another day to go by without telling you how impressed we were with your entire operation.
Despite the fact there were many opportunities for great frustration, John and his entire team were nothing less than pleasant, helpful, and gracious. John is simply amazing and he set the tone for the success of this sale from beginning to end - and even beyond the end as he continued to wrap up loose ends days afterwards.
We are certainly singing your praises and we appreciate all the hard work and careful attention to every detail.
Thank you,

I already receive your email and photos and appreciate them so much.
I am emailing to let you know of a recent sale I attended in Madison with my daughter and two grandchildren.
My eight year old grandson was interested in the collectable currency. John was so kind to him and spent time with him. I felt he had encouraged his interest in collecting coins and currency and we really appreciate his taking his time with Drew.
In today’s world we don’t often experience this kindness from other people.
Thank you,

Thank you so much for everything.
We had a great experience and will definitely be recommending Michael Taylor Estate and Moving Sales to everyone.
The ladies that worked the sale, especially Carole, were fabulous!

Good morning Michael,
I want to thank you for a great Estate Sale at my house in Franklin,KY on the 22nd and 23rd May.
I was very impressed with Kenny and Luba they did a fantastic job and made everything so easy for me.
It was a pleasure working with them and they certainly helped ease my stress! They have great personalities which is such a plus in your business!
Wishing you a Happy Memorial Day today.

Michael,
Now that the sale in Columbia is behind us I just wanted to take a few minutes to say thank you for it being such a wonderful experience. John and his team did a wonderful job with everything from setting up and displaying everything down to the last detail including clean up and getting the last items sold and moved.
It is always sad to see cherished items sold but many of us will reach that stage of life. Knowing that those items belonging to Mrs. T., my mother-in-law, were treated with respect and displayed so well so as to achieve the highest selling price was very important to us.
Again, my thanks to John for his willingness to be helpful and ensure that everything went smoothly. Even family members who came by to the sale told us how helpful and nice all the staff was.
I would be happy for you to use me as a reference.
Sincerely,
Houston M.

Michael--
Just wanted to let you know how pleased my husband and I were with our moving sale on Friday and Saturday.
Carole and her co-workers did an excellent job! They are to be commended for all their hard work.
Carole told us that you may have a consignment shop in the future. Might be interested in putting the Noritake dishes (Heather pattern) that didn't sell in your consignment shop--just send us some information.
We recommended your company to a neighbor who is moving to Alabama. Yvonne will probably call soon.
Thanks again for a successful sale.

Michael and Staff,
I just want to say how much I always enjoy your sales. They are the best ones in our area.
The Easter weekend extravaganza for the children is just so nice of you to do. Bless you and your entire staff of hard workers.
If I ever need to have an estate sale, instead of shopping at one, I’ll definitely call you and recommend you to everyone.

Michael and Staff:
I had to write a quick note to say what a wonderful company, and an extraordinary job you and your entire staff do each and every sale. While like so many of us, I truly don’t “need” anything, but it’s fun to browse, look, and sometimes pick up something we’ve all been dreaming of. Your estates sales provide just that opportunity.
I can promise that while other companies may store items from locations and move them from place to place in order to get more money, or make additional profits for themselves, this group (your group) does not do that. No matter how many events I’ve attended, what part of the state, how often or how far apart, there are always fair prices, deals to be made, and never is anything misrepresented or moved from place to place. If something is for sale – it’s for sale. It’s such a joy to be able to recommend a company to friends, and to recommend your sales as well.
Keep up the good, albeit hard, work. While it seems sad in a way that people are unable to keep the things they’ve collected, it’s a wonderful second life you are allowing the items in the hands of other people who will love and cherish them and allow them to continue on.
Thank you again for all that you and your team do.
Sincerely,
Susan W.

Each week, I look forward to getting your emails on the next locations of your estate sales.
I have always heard your employees are an extension of the person they work for, you have to be wonderful to work for!!
Your employees are always happy and willing to help in any way.
Again, thank you and your wonderful employees!

Dear Michael,
We have received your check for the results of our moving sale and we thank you very much. Further, we want to express our grateful satisfaction with the entire process from beginning to end.
Starting with your meeting with us to discuss the possibilities, and then to your team that actually handled the sale. Kenny and the ladies working with him were exceptional in every way from the very first moment, and truly amazed us with how quickly and how well they turned the stacks of items into such beautiful offerings. When we first saw it we almost wondered whose house we were in. Everything looked so appealing.
It has been such a wonderful experience and a pleasure to have worked with you on this enterprise and we only have good things to share with others about how pleased we are. Your operation was totally professional and respectful. Please pass on our sincere thanks to Kenny and his team, and accept our very sincere thanks to you.
Very Sincerely,
Terry W.

I have to say also when I was there last night, I did a walk through on the house. I was amazed!
Your guys found things I thought were long gone and it brought so many memories back. Very emotional.
Everything was staged so lovingly. It was truly amazing to see. I am in awe.
I am very happy I chose Michael Taylor Estate & Moving Sales to handle all this.
I am blessed by all you've done for her and us. Thank You.

To Michael and his staff.
I just wanted to say how much I love going to your Sales, sometimes every week lol and sometimes I miss a week due to health reasons.
My reason for sending this email is to let you know after a year of trying to find the perfect secretary, I finally found mine Thursday at your your sale in Brentwood. I was so excited it was hard not to show how I felt.
Also I wanted to say how I enjoy your employee's. When I walk in its always Good Morning and they make me feel welcome. Course am not a stranger to all by far lol.
My thanks go out to John, I just wanted to say thank you for remembering that I paid for something and changed my mind at last minute, the next time I saw John he said I have something for you. It was the money for the time I changed my mind and not bought the item. Thanks for the honesty, something people lack these days. Also John wrote the Canadian lady....LOL yup that's me.
Your staff take care of everyone in a way that we are all different. Amazing when you leave, you feel good about yourself and that keeps me smiling all day. I thank you Mr. Taylor for the care you give each and everyone of us, even when we know your so busy..you take the time to notice us with just a hello....
Thank You All

Thank you. I truly appreciate the hard work and professionalism that Mr. Taylor's staff provided during both sales, the first during the summer and this most recent.
I can't begin to express how pleased I was that everything ran smooth. I received positive feedback from several people as to both sales.
Being that this was a large sale, and the items being sold, it was important to me that I had people who knew what they were doing so that I would not be embarrassed. After all, the sale was a reflection of me as well (lol).
Please forward this e-mail to Mr. Taylor so that he is aware of this.
Thanks again and have a happy and prosperous New Year.

I went to the Murfreesboro sale today. My 3rd Michael Taylor sale.
Wanted you to know how much I enjoy your sales and staff.
They are so professional, friendly and knowledgable.
I know they were cold today but not in spirit. Give them a pat on the back!
I would have never found that sale without so much good signage!

Just a note to say what a great job your team did at the Broadmoor sale this week!
I mean, your staff is one of the best in the business & always delivers but I was especially impressed with how they handled the teeny tiny items like buttons, etc. at this sale.
Clean, organized & competitively priced.
Thank you for all you do!!

Again I want to say thank you. I feel like you handled a successful estate sale for me. I was very impressed with everything aspect of it. From the moment I met you Michael, to the very end.
Your staff at my house could not have been any better! From meeting them around 6:45 to give them the keys, then leaving my house after 5:30 the night before the sale, I was so impressed. When I walked into my house that Wednesday and saw the way everything had been displayed, I was so very pleased. It hit my heart and made me proud. All of this was extremely difficult for me, but your company did everything you could to help me through it and make it as easy as possible on me.
Friends of mine that came to the sale said the staff was very friendly, nice and helpful!
I have told everyone how good your company did and would recommend you to anyone.
Thanks again for helping me get through this part of the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with in my life. Losing the love of my life, my wonderful husband of 49 years has, and continues to be, extremely difficult and having people like you and your caring team certainly made this part a little easier for me to handle.
With extreme thankfulness for finding you,

I am AMAZED at what your team has accomplished! OMG! It looks incredible!
I am overwhelmed at all the stuff and how you have merchandised and set up. You all did a great job putting the NFS stickers on items too.
I am praying for good weather and a great sale!
Thank you,

I am writing this to thank you for the great care you and your staff displayed in orchestrating my recent Moving Sale in Clarksville. All members of your staff were the best! Every portion from A-Z was handled with professionalism.
Other than a slight glitch with the City of Clarksville on day one of the sale, crowds of buyers came and they bought! I have very little to dispose of now before selling my home.
Selling personal items have an emotional connection to memories and days in our past. Sometimes it's difficult to let go but the result of not having all those "things" cluttering up my life now is a real relief. Thank you.
I have already recommended you to two other friends who were considering a sale themselves. You and your staff could not have made it easier.
Blessings,
Lynn D.

Dear Michael,
My family and I want to express our sincere gratitude to you and your staff for orchestrating my mother's estate sale. From our first meeting with you until your kind note at the conclusion, yours was a first-class operation. I continue to be amazed at the entire process and how sensitive you were to what could have been a heart-wrenching experience. You told me not to worry, that you would take care of us. You did exactly what you promised and more. I cannot thank you enough. I wish you all good things.
Sincerely,

Thank you to you and your staff, not only for the sale, but kindness shown to me and my daughter on a really sad time in our lives.
Special thanks to your staff for the delicacies -- chicken salad and cookies -- as it really hit the spot, as we were hungry and too tired to fix anything and didn't feel like going out.
Take care and again, thank you,
Sincerely

Wonderful staff and sales
Last week my son, mother-in-law, and I were visiting from Atlanta. We visited all three of your estate sales and made purchases at each sale. We have been to many estate sales in multiple states and your staff was by far the most friendly, even offering cookies and coffee if we needed a snack. Thank you for making it so warm and welcoming to attend your sales. Next time we are visiting the Nashville area we will definitely look forward to attending your sales. Thanks for a job well done.
Thank you,

Bill, Laura and Sue were so very kind and courteous! We wouldn't have been able to do this without all of you! Thank you again, Micheal, for handling our sale! I can't say enough about your wonderful staff! Thank you again! You left our property looking like no one was even here (except all was sold!) and I thank them for that.

Hi Michael,
Thank you so much for sending the crew of three to organize and execute our sale. I was very pleased with the work of your crew -- their professionalism, friendly attitude, and overall positive sense of things. I had complete confidence in had absolutely no apprehension about having them here in the house; you have some truly excellent people working for you. I hope we will work with you again in the future. Please convey our warm regards and sincere thanks to the crew, and thank you, too.
All my best, Michael

Good afternoon,
Can you please add me to your email list. I have been to tag sales and find yours are the BEST by far. The staff is always very kind, friendly and fair. I appreciate all the hard work and thought that goes into putting on an Estate Sale.
Best Regards,
F.L.
We receive many letters and emails from our customers, expressing their pleasure with our services and the way we conduct sales on their behalf. On occasion, we receive a letter that really touches us and we would like to share one of those letters with you.
April 15, 2012
Dear Staff,
This letter comes to you to commend your staff as they handled the estate of someone very close to me.
F.M. was like a second mother to me. She and my mother have been best friends for over 40 years. Similar experiences in accidental deaths of their husbands was a beginning tie that built a life-long friendship. T and D asked my husband and I to spend care time with F for the two months before she passed away. We were sure honored.
Going into her home after her death was a "strange" feeling. Your staff was very caring and considerate, not just of me, but the way they dealt with customers and people who wanted "a better deal" was very professional and courteous. I knew it was a "sale", but it felt like her "things" were respected. I'm not exactly sure how I can explain it; it just seemed to be handled very well.
My mother lives in Illinois and some day, I'll be facing this too. Your staff has given me a clear understanding of how I want things done to honor her. Thank you for doing a tough job with dignity.
Sincerely,
C.R.A.
