Great experience

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I have enjoyed Sandy's Estate sales so much these past four years, I began working for her! I have witnessed her professional demeanor, integrity, caring heart over and over again.

She has been in business for 8 years serving the community she lives in and loves. The staff and I also live in Fallbrook and have taught and enjoyed our clients and customers for years. I have read some complaints about staff I hold an MA degree, have been live scanned and fingerprinted and taught in this community since 1989, I know that Sandy is extremely careful in who she hires and goes to great lengths to train us in confidentiality and correct inventory methods, receipts and customer service. I see Sandy go above and beyond to assist clients and customers with their questions, needs, etc.

She is about family and caring.

Her sales are high quality with excellent ads on estatesales.net and signs that make finding us easy. I highly recommend using Sandy's Estate Sales if you are looking to down size, have a death in the family, or are liquidating or relocating.

Rude employees, over priced items, hard to find location

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I went to the last sale event on May 8, 2015 in Fallbrook, CA. When I finally found it, there was no place to park. I had to park a mile down the road. When I asked about a certain item, the employees were rude. After a customer left, the employees were making fun of her and laughing. I wondered what they would say about me when I left..

The items were priced too high but they were organized nicely. Most of the stuff was junk. The large ticket items they advertised were not available anymore. They said these items were already sold. (I got there around 10am on the first day of the sale).

I did find one item which was priced reasonably, and later found out it was worth $1,000.00! I'm glad they don't know what they are doing. What a deal!

They do a great job. The staff was very kind and helpful.

Signs were easy to follow. Got me to the sale.

I had no problems with parking and I purchased many things I love. Fair pricing.

Check references on Sandy's Perfect Find Gallery Estate Sale Liquidations

Sandy's Estate Sale is not a good company to work with. They didn't give my mom a list of her items to sell and didn't give her the sold item list.

Things were missing from her jewelry and they broke a blue vase that was from my grandmas estate. I was disappointed by the total money my mom received. We could of done the same thing as a garage sale and made more money. This company ripped my mom off for over $5,000.

I suggest you check for a business license, and ask for proof of insurance before you hire anyone to come into your house.

Their employees were questionable and sloppy. They looked like they were on *** or drug addicts.

I wouldn't be surprised if they all were doing drugs. I would never let these people into my home again.

Sandy Brown owner of an estate sale company in fallbrook, ca, stole my property.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I hired Sandy Brown to do my estate sale when my mom died in Jan, 2014. I was in a hurry to sell all my moms things from the house to pay for funeral and bills.

I trusted her. When she went through the house, some of the items became missing? I asked her but she said she didn't remember them. Then, when we had the estate sale, she hired some of her friends who looked like they were doing drugs, with tattoos on their arms and necks.

It was unorganized and the money was left out in the open for everyone to see. Her daughter was there too, what a brat! She is 12 and acts like a 2 year old. Sandy was paying more attention to her daughter then the sale.

At one time, there were so many people that I'm sure some of them walked away without paying for their items.

The sale didn't net us what we wanted. So many items missing, stolen, or damaged that we had to take care of. The house was left in a mess, no trash pick up, no one to clean up afterwards except me.

Don't hire anyone unless they can prove they have a license and are bonded and insured for this type of business. Don't let your property out of your site. Keep everything where you can see it.

Better yet, do the estate sale yourself! Much less heartache.

Review

I went to one of Sandy's estate sales. When I walked up to the house a woman immediately announced to me that everything was 50% off as of 5 minutes ago.

Another woman with an old top on with 1/2 sleeves, and tattoos peeking out from under the sleeves, kept repeating everything the other woman said real loudly and quickly. I thought she was a strange customer, but was surprised to learn she was an employee. After looking through the whole house, I found a Coach purse, and a tiny cheap coin purse, and went to pay for them. Of course the coin purse was reduced from $3 to $1.50, but then they told me the Coach purse wasn't 1/2 off and I had to pay $72.

They said they made a mistake and were sorry. There was another person that wanted this purse too, so I think they knew they could get more for it. I told them they had said Everything was 1/2 off and should honor what they said. I also said that was odd because there were things here more expensive and they were 1/2 off, so why was the coach purse,and then she said it wasn't because the coach purses were on their eBay store and in high demand.

I insisted they honor what they said, and one of them left and came back a minute later and said they could go down to $50, but not $36 which was half price. I bought it but felt they lied, because they knew there were two of us that wanted it.

I went home and searched their eBay site and did not find a single coach purse.

What a great deal you got on a Coach purse. Only $50.00.

I am going to those sales. Thanks for the info.

Coach purses are a few hundred dollars.

I too went to this sale and I had a great experience and spent A LOT of money because the deals were GREAT. I bought a purse but I got it on the first day so no 1/2 price for me but it was a great deal anyways.

When I got home and looked up the brand new purse I bought, it was a $300 purse and I got it at Sandy's sale for $65. WHAT A DEAL. I also buy from her online store and she is very professional. I think you may have made a mistake about thinking she had purses online at the time you looked.

What she does is if the purses don't sell at the sale, she then puts them online and can make even more for her clients than she does at the sale. Im sure it was a lack of communication with her staff members. They are all so gracious and helpful. Not sure WHY you mentioned you saw a tattoo on a staff member?

What does that have to do with anything?

Shame on you for judging someones appearance.

Sandy's Perfect Find/Estate liquidators is an excellent example of how an Estate sale company should be run. I was in a mess and could hardly think clearly when I had a death in my family this year. My sisters Attorney gave her a business card of an Estate sales company. So we called the number. Sandra answered the phone and we set up an appointment with her.

She came over and explained her process very well. We signed her service agreement.

we set the dates for the sale.

Sandy and her professional staff came in and sorted, organized. Priced everything and display things so lovely.

The first day of the sale there was a crowd of buyers lining up to get in. Well this happened everyday after that. Sandy's perfect find Gallery/estate sale liquidators did a fantastic job for us. You could see the signs for our sale all over town. They made us more money than we could have ever done. When the sale was over they cleaned up so nicely. We got our end of sale report. All was in perfect order. She gave us 1st class service. The company knows there business. The staff was so nice. Very nice ladies. They go the extra mile. They really helped us through a difficult time. Thank you Sandy's perfect find gallery/estate sale liquidators. Very honest, reliable company.

This company stole my mothers jewerly.

My mother hired them to do an estate sale for her. My mom discovered some of her jewelry was missing.

The sales staff that Sandy hired looked like drug users with tattoos on their arms and they dressed like they were homeless. The sale was unsuccessful because they were unorganized, and didn't put up good signs. What a waste of time. The first day we had only 20 people show up.

The pricing was too high and they didn't even clean up the stuff before the sale. If you want something done right, I say DO IT YOURSELF!

I don't know what else was stolen, but my mom was so upset, she cried for days.

Hi, I would like to let everyone who read the comment above know that I am a member of Sandy's staff. I am her assistant and I am extremely upset from this post that was posted by her sister who has mental problems that are not addressed.

Her sister has posted more than one of these false complaints stating that she or a family member hired us to do sales and that we stole from them. She has made these complaints under the name "Debra Braun Anderson" ( Sandy's sister) and also complaints under the name "Donnababyandme" have been made (we haven't figured out yet if she is using 2 aliases or having a friend post as well) either way, the complaints are 100% false. If you read the complaints, you will see that she has made HUGE mistakes such as she posted one saying how bad we are and all the wrong and dishonest things we do and that she would never use us again and then a month later, she posted another complaint with a sale date of a couple months later stating that we ripped her family off, stole but yet she hired us again? It just doesnt make sence, does it?

Now why would anyone rehire a company twice after the complaints she or they made? She is an angry person and she will continue to post these false claims and accusations about Sandy until she is stopped. She does not want Sandy to succeed. Sandy's business has always been so successful and we want to keep it that way.

It tears us apart each time we read a comment by her sister trying to destroy what we LOVE to do. Our work is our passion. We meet so many amazing people through this business and they ALL trust us completely. When our job is done, these people remain in our hearts and thoughts forever.

We form such an amazing bond with each person and their family members as will. We take pride in our work and I must toot our horn and say we do a good job!. Sandy is an OUTSTANDING woman, she is honest, kind, compassionate and would NEVER take advantage, steal or even think to have an unorganized sale, nor would she hire a dishonest person or a thief. Her staff is chosen of people with the same morals and values of herself.

As for her sister comments about myself and the rest of her staff, let me assure you that we do not use drugs, we are not homeless nor do we dress homeless and we do not have tattoos all over our arms. Not saying that tattoos are bad, just saying Sandy nor her staff members happen to have any.

If any of you read the complaint above and it has made you choose not to inquire about using us afterall, (Sandysperfectfindgalley) I would be grateful if you would email Sandy at her contact info on her website (email) and let her know how and if the above complaint made you look elsewhere for another Estate sale company. Not only has her sister committed a crime but so has the companies that she posts her fraudulent complaints on.

These companies are "pissed consumer" and "rip off report" It is very hard, almost impossible to get these removed, they are there permanentely but we are working on a class action lawsuit. But please only do this if this is the case.

I thank you so much for reading this and I hope you all find it as upsetting as we do. We love our business and we would love to work for you.

We do come highly recommended and have many great references and not one TRUE complaint about our company or business. Thank you for your time.

Estate Liquidator scammed me!

I went to the advertised estate sale represented by Sandy's Perfect Find Gallery/Estate Liquidation on Nov 9, 2013 in Fallbrook, CA. The signs were hard to find and I got turned around a few times. Thank heaven I have a gps in my car.

The sale was disorganized, no prices on most items, no one around to help or answer questions, and items were in bad shape and dirty. Some of the good items were marked SOLD, but i found out later that the employees were going to buy them.

When I did find something I wanted, they would not bargain with the price and were rude.

It was a total waste of my time. I will never again go to her sales.

You won't catch me at any of their sales again. These are the rudest, meanest people I have encountered in the public setting.

They do get some nice estates but their prices are way out of line. One has to wonder what happens to the items that don't sell? We made half price offers on several items on the last day of a three day sale. They refused the offers so we refused the items.

Wasn't like we needed them. Then they called us "cheap" as we walked away! It wasn't that we couldn't afford it, you go to Estate Sales for the deals. These people obviously hate their jobs.

Maybe they should find another line of work. The big women at the cashier till were rude, but they obviously get their training from the grumpy owner, Sandy Brown.

Attention. REGARDING THIS COMPLAINT.

Anyone can post a complaint on this website and others like it.

Please understand. This one and the others about our ESTATE SALE Company are all written by one person.

A relative of mine is very ill due to her heavy drug addiction.

She has posed as a client and continues to write these outrages complaints that are horrible. Absurd stuff.

She is angry because of her own very bad choices in life. She Blames our family.

Its SAD. This is Slander, Lies.

We are a professional company. We are honest people with the highest degree of ethics. We are hardworking.

We know our business. Our client reference list with phone numbers is available for your review.

We hope you will consider us for all of your ESTATE SALE needs. Thank you, Sandra

ANONYMOUS August 29 2**** From someone who knows DEBBIE BRAUN ANDERSON (AKA MISS METH) very well.To everyone that reads this BOGUS report,she and her friend DONNABABYADME are two people with mental and financial problems. I for one supports SANDYS PERFECT FINE GALLEY ESTATE SALES.

Guest

Donnababyandme wrote this false report as she did another. bbraunanderson and donnababyandme have been putting false information on this web site. Slander, defermation of character are againts the law.

Guest

Donna, I just read your review and I must say you are wrong. I too went to this sale and the signs were GREAT.

They were the best professional signs that I have seen in San Diego county and I go to all estate sales I can. The house where the sale was was an immaculate house and there was not ONE thing dirty or out of place. Everything had a price tag that was for sale! If items said sold or not for sale, they were the items the homeowner was taking with her.

I know this because I know the home owner personally. She is moving out of state and several items she was taking with her so the staff was instructed to put not for sale on them. I shared your complaint with the home owner and she said that the staff member did NOT buy anything from her sale so I dont know where you got your information. For you to say that items were dirty and there were not prices on items was misleading and fair.

I thought the staff was great. They were so friendly and helpful. I will continue to go to Sandys perfect find gallery sales. I had to laugh about you getting lost too because i have never seen so many large print professional signs leading to a sale as I did for this sale.

Sorry you had such a bad experience.

Rental Homes

They require a deposit of $190.00, then they give you a list of available properties. We found out the homes are not available for rent.

They gave us pictures of homes from Craigslist and told us to go by the homes first, then they will have the homeowners contact us to see the inside. No one ever called us back. Can't get a straight answer from them. They won't give us our deposit back of $190.00.

We never did find a home through them. We believe they do not have any properties for rent. They take your money and give you out-dated rental information. You lost your money which you really need right now and you have nothing to show for it.

Your right back where you started before you contacted them.

They advertise on craigslist.

Unlicensed, Uninsured, Not Bonded

Sandys Estate Liquidators - Unlicensed, Uninsured, Not Bonded

This company is owned by Sandy Brown. Her business is not licensed, no insurance and not bonded.

That means you have no recourse against her if your valuables are stolen or missing from your home. If one of her employees is hurt or injured on your property, they can sue you and your homeowners insurance. Her employees are not bonded, which means there is no background check or criminal report done on them. She has been sued in civil and small claims court at Superior Court of California, County of San Diego and lost.

You can view this at their website. She doesn't give you an itemized list of your property. She takes the most valuable items to "list on ebay" but doesn't pay you for them when they sell. She has thrown away or donated my belongings without my knowledge.

If she likes something of yours, she will keep it herself and never pay you for it. She lies, steals, and is dishonest in her business dealings.

I know this for a fact. I used to work for her but after I saw how she handled her business, I quit.

Absurd. Who wrote this bunch of ***.

Guest

Sandy Brown is a wonderful person and professional business woman. I know countless people who have used Sandy's PERFECT FIND GALLERY.

I encourage everyone who reads her sisters posts to disregard them. If I thought for one second that there was an ounce of truth to her accusations I would not be posting this comment.

She will continue to post negative complaints until the website that is allowing her to do so is held accountable for allowing this action.

I encourage everyone who needs to have an estate sale or items sold on EBAY to use Sandy Brown. You will never find someone and honest, reliable and dedicated as she is.

Thank you,

Guest

I have worked for Sandy Brown for the past year. I am livescan fingerprinted through the state of CA with a very extensive background check.

In addition I have lived in the community we serve since 1989. I have had dealings with Sandy as the seller, the buyer, and as an employee. She is honest, she deals fairly from every angle, she does indeed keep an inventory and pays absolutely the week she is paid. Sandy has a perfect rating on her ebay store, is often recommended through word of mouth due to her amazing work ethics.

This comment is from a family member not a client.

Please consider and weigh this carefully. Thank you for taking the time to read all comments.

Guest

Sandra Brown is one of the most honest people on the planet. Her drug addicted sister Debbie Braun Anderson posted this to harm her.

Sandra had tryed to help her sister. She moved her into her home to help her get sober after debbie had lost her home due to her drug addition. Debbie could not stay sober. After many attempts to get her into treatment.

Sandra had to ask her to leave. Debbie is very angry. Still using drugs and will not get help. Sandra's family has been through a nightmare.

She does not want me to post this information. I can't beleive this website will let anyone put such information out there with out knowing the real truth. Drug addicts can't see the truth. They must blame others and try to hurt there familys instead of getting help.

It is a heartbreaking fact. Its a shame.

Guest

This is 100% false information. Pending a law suit againts Debbie Anderson for posting this.

Andrea Ahw

YOU itemize what is taken and listed. No auction house accepts responsibility for stolen items from your house, that is what your insurance is for. And I hate to break it to you, if a stranger falls in your yard they can sue you.
