Sharon and her team are amazing! My hubby and I have bought a couple times from her online auctions plus we attended a in person sale. Sharon and her team are very organized and helpful when picking up items. Also they are very fair with pricing at in person sale unlike other estate companies who charge more than eBay prices. I love winning a bid with CTbids as I know exactly what to expect from Sharon and her team - Professional, kind, fair treatment!!
Professional, punctual, and low-stress team for estate liquidations and sales. Helped us to sell everything due to our move to Europe. I highly recommend them for any type of estate sale due to their great service and vast experience.
My review relates to my experience as a buyer at the CT online auctions. TL;DR - If you focus on your winds and see the big picture, you will get GREAT value for your $ and have a lot of fun. CT is as organized as I have ever seen any provider, and you can tell they work hard. Whenever I win a lot, my stuff is always gathered and ready to go when I arrive to pick it up. The people working are nearly always professional, pleasant, and patient. Some buyers really seem to sweat the very small stuff, but you have to remember that the CT team has to come into a home, work with the estate owner who may have strong feelings, create lots of items for sale, post them for auction, then support buyer pick-up. By its nature, this is organized chaos and there are going to be hiccups - usually due to buyer misbehavior, not CT mismanagement. However, I have found that for any minor instance something did not go perfectly, I've been pleasantly surprised many times over. I also appreciate how gracious they are when there is an error in my part, like forgetting to schedule pick-up or showing up at the wrong time. If you are looking for great deals and a professional experience, I def recommend their 5 star buying experience.
The Caring Transitions team was brought in on short notice for a multi-generational home sale preparation project. Family members did not live nearby and there were many many items for sale and clearing. Sharon and Traci made the most out of our limited time. At the initial meeting, they efficiently assessed the scope of the work, marked clearly all items that would be staying with the home versus sold, and then brought in their team to complete the massive sorting and sale project competently and smoothly. We benefited from their many years of experience, their positive, can-do attitudes, and seemingly limitless energy. Thank you, Sharon and Traci, for sharing your expertise and positive energy with us, and for a job well done on our project.
This company is very unorganized. Sharon is extremely unprofessional and rude. She believes her urgency is your urgency. I won a bid Thursday 10 pm, the platform the bidding was done on had paypal as an option to pay with. She called me at 7:40 am on Friday demanding I send another form of payment. I was not comfortable sending another form as I had read about her scamming other bidders. Her dilemma was the home she was having the estate sale for needed to be cleared out by noon the day after the bid ended. She then had me on a three way call with the CTbids billing department, spoke to me as if she was doing me a favor, and not business together. Told me she was going to block me and not refund my money. If she organized the estate sale and bid ending date/time, the family she was doing the sale for would have made more money as sharon had expressed 'multiple peoples payment did not go through in time'. I thought she was just having a bad day, but doing further investigation she wasn't. All other negative reviews express how unorganized and unprofessional she truly is.
