TESTIMONIALS
"I was very pleased to come across Mary Jessome and Brenda Hart’s estate service at a challenging time, when my sister and I were making hard decisions about how to deal with my mother’s estate. I found these wonderful women to be patient, informative, well organized and very caring at a time when the task before us seemed overwhelming and chaotic. They were efficient and thoughtful in setting up the estate sale and had a number of specialists they turned to, as necessary, for antique or other special item valuations. Most importantly, they accurately predicted the approximate value of the sale. I would add also that their delightful Maritime humour was a breath of fresh air at a difficult time! Fine Estate of Affairs helped us tremendously, and I fully expect that Mary and Brenda would bring the same level of dedication and integrity to any new projects as they brought to their work with us."

"It is with pleasure and conviction that I write to highly recommend the services of Finest Estate of Affairs. The death of a parent is never easy. My sister is in Seattle and I am in New York, while Dad was in Calgary. Finest Estate was recommended by an old high school pal, and it was welcome. They were very professional, paid incredible attention to detail and were completely respectful of our situation and Dad’s things. There were a few very special antiques that they took special care of, and went the extra mile to ensure they got the best home for the best price. I really appreciated having Mary and Brenda as allies during a difficult time, and would be happy to talk to you if you have any questions. (ask for referral). Honest, reliable, responsive – that’s Finest Estate of Affairs."

"Feeling overwhelmed I needed help with making an estate sale happen. Mary and Brenda’s response to our various unique needs was one of flexibility and confidence. The preparation was enjoyable as they are personable and they were flexible to honour the process of the family members having the estate sale. The result was an organized successful estate sale. The placement of the signage throughout the district ensured a big draw from the community. The rapport they have developed with existing and new estate sale goers helped sell the items. Brenda and Mary and they’re lovely helpers were enthusiastic and helpful throughout the sale. With the post sale they ensured an efficient clean up of the remaining items which was minimal because of their good sales ability. They continued to help even weeks later. I was very pleased that I had chosen Mary and Brenda and would recommend them to anyone. Thank you for the beautiful work on such a large job."

"Losing a parent, even after a long illness, is a tough and difficult experience. Losing a mother in another country with children scattered over America and Canada adds even more challenge. Add to that a big house chock full of family belongings and rooms piled high with collectibles and knick-knacks which must be dealt with….and the challenge is nearly overwhelming. Like angels of mercy, in come Mary and Brenda full of expert advice and vast knowledge, offering welcome counsel and helpful suggestions. With great relief we hired A Fine Estate of Affairs to handle our Estate Sale. Being from America, my siblings and I had no idea how to price the plethora of items Mom had collected over her long life. The first time we talked to Mary we felt an immediate confidence and soon we scheduled the sale. Mary, Brenda and their crew did everything: the pricing, set up attractive tables, arranged rooms to allow easy flow of traffic, took care of advertising and signage….basically relieved us of the burden of trying to figure out how to dispose of the estate contents. I can’t begin to describe what a joy it was to have such sensitive, caring, friendly, and most importantly expert individuals to help us in this vital task. On the days of the sale itself, what we had privately dreaded turned out to be a relaxing and fun event… meeting ecstatic buyers who treasured the items that Mom treasured, watching the staff cheerfully tend to their customers…my brother and I were able to sit back and enjoy the process. If I had to do this again I wouldn’t hesitate a nano-second to bring in A Fine Estate of Affairs to handle the sale of household goods. We very highly and passionately recommend this service. My siblings and I hired professionals to help us, but we ended up with a bonus… people we would be glad to call our friends."
