I just have to say that I have interacted with a lot of auction companies, even different locations within the CT Bids company, and the Sarasota/Bradenton team (led by Gloria) is exceptional in their attention to detail and going above and beyond. to make sure that as a buyer, you know exactly what you're getting when you bid. They are are very conscientious to take good clear pictures from every angle, provide measurements that are accurate, and descriptions that are very detailed. That takes a ton more of their time to do, but it is SO important to know as a buyer! It is truly appreciated because when you don't know that information, when they don't go the extra mile, you get burnt and that money is gone... I'm sure that they get paid the same amount as other owners that don't put in the extra time and effort and don't bother to respond to questions about the items. I truly enjoy auctions handled by Gloria and her team because I know I can trust them with complete and accurate information. I just wanted to share this so everybody realizes how exceptional they are!
My mom passed away and I live out of state Barra was the best and helped me with everything, selling furniture, donating what wasn’t sold and cleaning out the house, I couldn’t have done all that so quickly without their help, highly recommended
Caring transitions was the group that set up with moving of my belongings had to work closely with the movers to make sure that everything was done correctly. They were involved in Suggestions on which items needed to be stored in which in which items need to be transferred for moving.
FIVE STARS! Highly recommended. I am so fortunate I got to work with Barra, Darcy and crew on my 97-year old Mother's transition from her Villa to her new home at an ALF. They were all patient and supportive during what could have been a difficult move. They also shared many tips with us as we sold off many items during their Online Auction. The team lived up to its name, providing my Mother and family with a Caring Transition to her new home.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Darcy Jahn, Barra Stern, and the entire team at Caring Transitions of Sarasota. From start to finish, they handled an incredibly emotional and complicated process with grace, professionalism, and genuine compassion. Darcy and Barra went above and beyond — not just managing every detail seamlessly, but treating our family’s memories and possessions with true respect and care. They were organized, communicative, and remarkably kind, turning what could have been a stressful experience into one filled with comfort and trust. If you’re navigating a move, downsizing, or estate transition, I wholeheartedly recommend Caring Transitions of Sarasota. They are the definition of integrity, empathy, and excellence. 💛
