Thank you, Haley, Phil, and everyone who helped make the estate sale at my parents' home successful and not stressful.
It is a difficult time when you lose family members, especially parents. I knew I couldn't conduct a sale of my parents' things so after reading many wonderful reviews about Redding Estate Sales, I passed the information on to my brother (who lives out of town) who made the original contact with Haley. My neighbor and I went to one of their sales to "check it out" and see how it was done. I found it very well organized and the items were priced very reasonably. I eventually met Haley at my parents' house and we talked about the next steps to take. After my brother and I sorted through everything, we set up a date for the sale. Haley took the stress off my shoulders and I was incredibly thankful as I am still working full time. She was kind enough to be at the house when a repairman needed to work as well. Above and beyond expectations.
The buyers wanted to close escrow early which put a bit of a wrench into removing some items that didn't sell but, Haley rolled with it and did an incredible job working with the charity who packed and picked up the remaining things. My brother and I picked up the rest.
We highly recommend Redding Estate Sales to anyone considering having a sale. They are incredibly courteous, thoughtful and a delight to work with.

Dear Haley and Phil,
We can’t begin to thank you enough for all you did to facilitate the sale of the assets of our sister Patty’s estate. What seemed to us like an insurmountable task you simply took in stride and managed from start to finish.
All the items were beautifully cleaned, attractively arranged and competitively priced. The pictures and online video were very impressive, and you went above and beyond in getting non sale items removed and donated. The real work of overseeing the junk removal after the sale was so much appreciated, as we were trying to finalize this from over 250 miles away.
We’re so happy that our Realtor recommended you, we couldn’t be any more pleased with your work and professionalism. But beyond that, you both were so compassionate and caring we felt that we had personal friends helping us in this endeavor.
Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts!
Sincerely,
Lee and Dianne Hutchens
I am so thankful that I followed a recommendation to seek out Redding Estate Sales. As a recent widow, I was faced with downsizing from a large home with over 30 years occupancy and moving to a smaller residence. I have rarely encountered a business with such a high level of professionalism coupled with a sensitivity and respect for their clients. The Pratts not only did the job but were a pleasure to work with. After my initial meeting, my anxiety level dropped 100%. The process the Pratts have set up results in their assuming all the work, from start to finish, and leaving the client with very little to do. Redding Estate Sales took care of all the many (and heavy) items I could not take with me to my smaller home. Do not hesitate to seek out Redding Estate Sales. You won't be disappointed.

I give Redding Estate Sales my highest praise and gratitude. They walked into my dirty and very dusty shop and started cleaning and moving tools and equipment. My husband just couldn't throw anything away so it was 44 years of stuff. Haley and Phil were undaunted and waded right into that mess. They cleaned each item and displayed everything so attractively and almost everything sold. They told me how to donate any left overs and cleaned up before they left so there nothing left for me to do,I highly recommend Redding Estate Sales. Shirley Straub

Life has many chapters and for us, this chapter meant the downsizing of a life well lived. Enter Redding Estate Sales. From the moment of our pre-selection interview to the site visit, a need to meet our aggressive timelines, Estate Sale Prep and the final emptying and "broom ready" house status, our family could not have wished for a better Estate Sale experience. The Pratts worked tirelessly and partnered with us every step of the way. They could not have been kinder to our family with their recognition of the memories that the home held and what "letting go" must mean for every member of the family.
Each person on the Redding Estate Sale team we met was a helpful guide, a gentle, but persuasive pusher in the letting go process, insightful and operated with the utmost integrity. From sales prep to final Estate Sale execution everything was handled efficiently, professionally and orderly. Such important elements when showcasing a collection of memories to sell.
Haley, we applaud your mission to "give back" and "recycle" the world rather than start anew. We cannot say THANK YOU enough for the care and follow through that ended with a pristine home ready for sale, a higher Estate Sale return than we could have done on our own and the process leadership and professionalism that allowed everyone's needs to be met.
Redding Estate Sales, you didn't just help us with our home, but you entered and remain in our hearts,
The Klasson Family

If you're looking for someone to hold an estate sale or downsizing sale for you,
don't go any farther. Redding Estate Sales is the best, most professional and
considerate business I have ever done business with. When it's a time like it was
for us, (our Mother passed away), Haley and Phil were the best. Haley does
her diligence and investigation to be sure to price items correctly. Haley takes
great pictures to post on their website, along with a description of what to expect
to see at the sale. You won't find 2 better people, than Haley & Phil, to facilitate
your sale!
The Leonard Family
Thanks again Haley

Our dear friend had moved into an assisted living and was ready to sell her house. As her power of attorney, we had to take care of of all of her possessions in her house. I had gone to a sale previously of Redding Estate Sales and was impressed with the quality of the sale so kept their business card knowing that I would need their services soon. Haley & Phil came right out after I called and made me so comfortable with the decision to use them. They set up a time around our schedule for the sale and treated our friend's possessions with such dignity and respect. They went through the house and pulled out anything that was personal or valuable that they thought our friend might want. They organized everything by category (no easy task as there were so many items) and conducted the sale in such an organized and professional way. They made the process so easy for us and were such a joy to work with. The things that were left over they arranged for a charity (our choice) to pick up the remainder. Haley even came by and visited our friend after the sale to present her with the check and tell her of all the greetings and fond wishes of neighbors that came to the sale and to tell her how everyone enjoyed purchasing her things. It gave her such a good feeling instead of her feeling sad for the loss of her possessions. We cannot recommend them highly enough!

I can't begin to thank you & Phil enough for all you have done for me in taking care of my sister's estate--being from Tennessee & inheriting property in Calif.,I was totally overwhelmed with the situation. You came in & totally put me at ease--handled everything--went above & beyond what I could have expected--you ended up feeling like family to me & I'm really bummed that I'm not closer, so that we could meet for a coffee. I wish you & your family all the best. Thank you again--will never forget you!

When my mother-in-law passed away I needed to sell and remove all furniture, appliances and other belongings in order to sell the house. My niece contacted Redding Estate Sales (Phil and Haley Pratt) and they came to the house and met with the family. After a very clear plan was outlined for us, I made the decision to have them do the estate sale. As it turned out, it was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
After removing all the keepsakes and other items that the family wanted, Haley and Phil went to work. They removed all the property from where they were stored and then organized them on their tables to do the sale. They showed great knowledge of the value of furnishing and other items including some collectibles. A date was set for a weekend sale. The date (that was forecasted to be clear) turned out to be raining but the response was amazing. At one time there were 50 people standing in the rain waiting to get in.
What impressed me the most was their integrity and their respect for items that we had no idea were in the home, that were valuable for us to keep in the family. They kept their word to sell what they could and removed the rest of the property to a charity of our choice, saving us a lot of work to accomplish that. It's gratifying to find good people doing this kind of work.

To Haley and Phil and Crew;
Moving out of our home was SO emotional! Who knew it would be so hard to downsize after nearly 20 years in one place. We were SO impressed with your sensitivity and respect for our "stuff". You came in and set up and took care of it all. We were very worried about the disruption to our neighbors on sale day. Afterwards, they all commented on how organized and respectful the sale was and parking was not a problem. Haley went to all the neighbors and explained who she was and what was going to take place and asked them to see her if there was a problem. Our neighbors were so impressed! We are now settled and comfortable in our new home and will never forget your help in 'parting with the old" and making way for the new in our lives. Haley and Phil, you are the best!
