I wanted to thank you for taking on the relatively small estate sale for myself and my brother. The experience was excellent to say the least. I am so impressed with your process and how you were able to take the piles we created and organize all the items for presentation and sale.
Having done a previous estate sale in Minnesota, the difference working with you two was literally night and day! This included pricing through the physical set up and sale. Every aspect was well organized. I absolutely believe this generated more money as a result.
I was impressed with your knowledge of the items and their relative worth based on the current market of what is desirable and not in today’s market and geographic location. Lastly it was evident you have an established customer base that attend your sales. That is telling in and of itself. There is an assumed high level of satisfaction.

I recently had to down-size. I am so thankful a friend recommended Treasures of Zeus! I knew absolutely nothing about Estate Sales – zero. Mike and Bill are incredibly knowledgeable and their expertise just blew me away! You know that saying, “He went the extra mile”? Mike and Bill and their employees went twenty extra miles! Treasures of Zeus went above and beyond, putting in long hours, many long hours with the utmost care. They were super professional and thoughtful; sensitive to my situation and both men made excellent suggestions. I would use the word ‘superior’ to describe the Treasures of Zeus team. Mike and Bill’s dedication to this project absolutely blew me away. Just super impressive. It’s pretty humbling when you have these men working so hard, for so many hours to take care of your treasures. I’m sure we’re all used to rating businesses with one to five stars… I would rate Treasures of Zeus with fifty stars. Mike and Bill’s advice, experience and energy are second to none! I would highly, highly recommend TOZ for your Estate Sale.

I had to sell my home and then have an Estate Sale. I was very, very lucky to have Treasures of Zeus! They were very professional; if there was a problem Bill and Mike took care of it promptly. They made a difficult situation, a sad situation actually enjoyable.
I will treasure their friendship and fellowship forever. I can only recommend Mike and Bill as high as possible! I am a very thankful and satisfied client.
