I highly, highly recommend Caring Transitions. My brother and I were facing one of the hardest times in our lives. We had recently lost our father, and our mom was moved to assisted living. We were overwhelmed with the challenge of going through our parents’ home filled with years of family memories and cherished possessions, especially since neither of us lived in the area. From the moment we met with Mary Kay and Paul, we felt an enormous weight off our shoulders. They gave us peace of mind, and they were very honest and very clear in their explanation of the entire process. Mary Kay and Paul and their hardworking team did an outstanding job of getting the items ready for the online auction and picker sale, which was very well attended and generated more funds than we expected. The biggest gift was that Caring Transitions took the burden off our hands, sold or donated our parents’ belongings, left the home completely empty and CLEAN, as promised. Their communication throughout the process was caring, prompt and professional. If you find yourself in the position where you cannot be there or live out of town, you will feel safe knowing they are trustworthy, kind, and exceptionally good at what they do. If I could give them 10 stars, I would!

Our experience with CT Bids was truly exceptional from start to finish. They are incredibly professional, organized, and operate with the highest level of integrity. Mary Kay, Paul, and their entire team were not only knowledgeable but also deeply compassionate and sensitive to our family’s needs. Their guidance was thoughtful and reassuring every step of the way. What truly sets them apart is their dedication and expertise. They went above and beyond in researching our items and ensuring we received top dollar, especially for unique and specialty pieces. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence gave us complete confidence throughout the process. I cannot recommend CT Bids highly enough. They exceeded our expectations in every way.

I have been buying from Mary Kay and Paul’s franchise for years now. As a former estate liquidator, appraiser, and auctioneer, I applaud them for their efficiency, excellent photographs, and organization. When I pick up items they are grouped together, packed professionally, and ready for me to put into my containers. This takes a considerable amount of time and accuracy. I have bought from other auctions and CT franchises that do not execute their business with the level of professionalism Mary Kay and Paul do. Working with families and the public is challenging. I have observed both Mary Kay and Paul navigate interpersonal situations with grace. Do not hesitate to work with them.

As the personal representative of an estate that recently used Caring Transition to liquidate a sizable home, I was very involved in the day-to-day decisions and communications with them. In all my dealings with them, they were extremely professional, honest, trustworthy, and above reproach. They did exactly what they were engaged to do and did it very well! Not only would I use them again with another estate, I would certainly turn to them for my own family if need be. I would strongly encourage anyone in the same situation to hire them.

Mary Kay and her crew are true treasures. They’re a pleasure to work with, always incredibly organized and eager to help or answer questions. Their attention to detail and knowledge of the items is wonderful. I sincerely respect Mary Kay for the respect she gives to her clients, as well as their belongings and home. It shows they really care. I’ve had the pleasure now of working with her, her husband, and their crew for many years and I always enjoy and look forward to seeing them. They truly are amazing people.
