Jim Hollenback of Sacramento
Can you believe one week before Christmas and my house was full of personal belongings and I needed help. Calling Jennie was an answered prayer. Her enthusiasm and organizational talents readied my home for the estate sale, and what a remarkable estate sale it was. Not only were all items sold, Jennie and her crew completely cleaned the inside and outside of my home. Its ready to put on the market. I'm so thankful for Jennie Krausse and her Crew. Respectfully,
Erma Cole and Family of Sacramento
Jennie, Thank you for handling my Mother's Estate Sale. Events happened so quickly for us. With only a few days to clear her house my husband and I truly had our backs against a wall. Time was of the essence. With your help our deadlines were achieved and the house was ready for the new owners. Your assistants did a remarkable job getting everything ready for the sale. We know you had a previously scheduled sale and we especially appreciate your finding a way to fit us in when your schedule was already full. We needed help. You came through. We were fortunate to find you. You are a professional in every way. Thank You, Thank You!
Colleen and Richard of Sacramento
As trustee of a multi-million dollar trust, I needed an honest, efficient, and seasoned professional to handle the estate sale for one of the properties in the trust. I turned to Jennie Krausse. Her skillful appraisal of the sale items impressed me—Jennie clearly knows her stuff! Her swiftness in getting the job done was remarkable. In less than a week, she set up and completed the sale, gave me a check for the proceeds, and left the house neat and clean. And during the sale, the way she handled buyers showed me that she truly had my best interests in mind. It appeared that one of the buyers staged a fall, with the intention of making the trust liable for damages, but Jennie witnessed what happened and headed off a lawsuit. I am truly grateful for Jennie’s services. I recommend, without any reservation, that you hire her for your estate sale.
Elvira Orly, The Orly Law Firm, Inc.
Jennie,
From the minute I happened upon your website and browsed the "What the Hell is that?", "Estate Sale Myths" and "Critters Corner" , I was immediately drawn to your services.
You are incredibly responsive, replying immediately and acting quickly to get everything ready. Being completely new to the concept of an "Estate Sale" , you put my worries at ease and saved our family from what would have been a very difficult and stressful process. Thanks for explaining everything so well and being so patient and organized. I appreciated you and the team going the extra mile including sending/storing items you felt had meaning, providing contacts for carpet cleaning and other services. You did an amazing job and I would like to provide the highest level recommendation to others in need of your services!
Thanks Again! Cindy of San Jose
I would like to thank you for your estate work on my parent's home. I know you spent many hours of researching and pricing items. You were very professional and the neighbors even left thank you's on the door to let us know how much you minimized disturbance to the neighborhood during the sale days. My husband and I appreciate your assistance that made it easier for us during a stressful time. You were very thorough and gave us good advice. It would have taken us a much longer time period and resources to do the work you did. The house was left empty and clean so that we were able to easily begin the next process of listing the house for sale.
Thanks again, Sandy of Meadow Vista
Jennie and Mike,
The Mori Family would like to thank you and your crew for the amazing service you provided us as we struggled to take care of the estate that our parents left us. Your boundless energy, fantastic organizational skills, and your caring attitude eased this process. We are forever grateful that our friend recommended you to us, and we will gladly forward our recommendation to all our extended family and friends. Your service is so complete---from sorting, pricing, and staging the items, down to the details of thanking and acknowledging the patience of our neighbors after the sale days. You left all of us very impressed.
We wish you both the best,
Brian, Joan, Kerry, & Randy of Sacramento
Dear Jennie,
You, Mike and your crew are a formidable team: professional and efficient, yet caring and compassionate. Your attention to detail is without equal...from your carefully crafted presentation of the life behind an estate through to the notes you leave for neighbors, thanking them for their forbearance with the crowds you generate for your sales. I’m deeply grateful for all this, as well as for the clean condition in which you left the house. Thank you for everything, and may your business continue to thrive. Yours is a service in the fullest sense of the word.
Regards, Alice of Sacramento
Jennie, thank you for everything. I appreciate all that you did for me in the short 10 days that you did it in. I was absolutely amazed how everything worked out. You and your crew are absolutely wonderful and angels. You all did a phenomenal job in cleaning up the apartment. It looked almost new. I hope that property managment will be happy with your efforts. Thank you for sending the things that you were able to find for me. A few things of memories will be better then none at all. Material things don't mean a lot to me anymore, just family and friends are the important things anymore. Once again, thank you for everything.
Daniel of Sacramento
Hi Jennie, Just wanted to say thanks for how well the clear out of the house went. I couldn't quite believe that everything had gone and the house was so clean.We would definitely recommend your services to anyone.
Many thanks, Will Allen of Sacramento
Wow! What an amazing day. Thank you so much for you positive attitude and energy. I feel so good knowing you will respectifully find new homes for my dear mothers treasures. See you and your amazing crew tomorrow!
Carol of Sacramento
Jennie,
I just went to your website and read the creative way you lead into the sell of my sister's things. Your description of them and their lives was so real. How did you obtain your information? You really know your business and I'm very impressed with what you have done. Thanks for helping us out during this time of emotional stress. You're a real godsend.
Sincerely, Linda of Sacramento
Dear Jennie,
Thank you so much for all you did for us. You really provide such an important service to society. Overall everything was wonderful and we do so appreciate your enthusiasm and efficiency. You have been an absolute delight to work with. Thank you so much for taking such a load off of our minds.
With Warm Regards, Nancy of Sacramento
Amazing is the word I think of when I think of all you do to help people. You and all of your staff did an amazing job of helping us with the estate sale. You delivered on all of your promises and went far beyond great
customer service. Thank you!
Kathy of Sacramento
Jennie and Mike,
I want to thank you for taking on the challenge of liquidating the assets of my Mother's home. You did such a great job. It is so nice to know that there are people out there that you can trust with such an emotional task. Please know that you have a gift. We all eventually find ourselves in a "season" of our lives where we have to deal with things that are difficult and overwhelming, I am so grateful that you were there. It was absolutely a pleasure to meet and work with you both.
Thank you again! Donna of Sacramento
Dear Jennie,
You and your crew did an amazing job, it was such a relief to walk in and see everything immaculate. You saved us from what would have been a very difficult and stressful process, it went smoothly and exactly as you stated. You said don't worry and you were so right. This has been a tough time and your gentle consideration for our situation was greatly appreciated.
Thank you again, M&R of Sacramento
Jennie,
I would like to say what a pleasure it was to work with you. From the moment we met you were so professional. I really appreciate your attention to detail. You were upfront with us in what the cost would be and explained in detail the whole procedure so there would be no surprises.
I will definitely recommend your services to any of my clients or friends who require your service.
Sincerely, Barbara Dow of Sacramento
Jen and Mike did an excellent job liquidating the personal property located in my deceased father's house. They were friendly, efficient, organized, and did their work in a timely and professional manner. I was very impressed with the service that they provided, and would recommend them to a friend without reservation. They made a difficult project seem very easy!
Jim H. of Rocklin
Jennie and her staff did a remarkable job and compassionate job with my
estate sale in 2003. I lost both my parents within 5 months, and she helped
me deal with the disposition of part of their belongings. We still keep in
touch and I admire her business and work ethic.
Lilliana of Tahoe Park
Jennie Krausse and her team are simply amazing. In only one week we went from a home filled with a lifetime of items, to a professionally staged estate sale with almost two thousand buyers, to every item being sold for a fair price and a clean and empty house. I am so pleased with the work they did – simply amazing.
Regards, Eric of South Land Park
Hi Jennie, we would like to thank you for taking time out of your very busy schedule to help our family sort and price all of our family "treasures". Not knowing anything about estate sales made the task of cleaning out my family's home seem more than just a little overwhelming. You were so kind to come in and help give us direction (we were totally lost) and help with the heavy decisions that were keeping me up at night. Your honest opinions and vast knowledge made us feel that we were in very good hands. I would also like to thank all of the very kind, wonderful people that received your e-mail and came over to the house. They all had great things to say about you and the services you provide to your customers. We know that we would not have had the success that we had with out your help and have recommended you to several friends. Thank you so much.
Sincerely, Gary and Laurie Duran of South Land Park
Dear Jennie,
My sister and I would like everyone to know how much you and your employee's made such a sad situation so much easier for us. We had so little time to finalize our sister and brother-in-laws estate and you were so very professional when dealing with all our needs and frustration. Though we live in Missouri we knew from the moment we met you that everything would be handled perfectly.
Thanks again for all your help.
Liz & Linda from Missouri
We had a few nice items to sell and other estate sale/liquidators
didn't see enough profit to bother with us. When we contacted Jennie
Krausse, she immediately decided she would help, sight unseen. By the
next week, she had sold our items and sent us a check. Jennie is a
caring business woman and we commend her for putting people over
profit.
The Chan Family, Roseville
I was Trustee for my favorite aunt during the last days of her life. After
she died, I was concerned about selling my aunt's property and household
effects so I would get the most revenue for all of the heirs from sale of my
aunt's worldly holdings. It was at this point that I found Jennie Krausse,
and I'm so thankful I did. Jennie not only empathized with our loss, but she
also patiently guided me through the entire estate sale process. She
explained what needed to be done to achieve maximum revenue from the sale
and what needed to be discarded or donated. Before the event, she marked
each sale item, and I was impressed with her skill and expertise in
estimating value. As a result, she helped me achieve all of the goals set
down by my aunt before her death. Because of Jennie and her team, we
realized the most revenue from the estate sale, and the house was emptied
and then quickly cleaned. Neighbors commented that Jennie Krause made the
whole process look smooth and seamless. I thank God that Jennie was there
when I needed her. She is a true professional and someone whom you, too, can
count on for your own successful estate sale. I highly recommend Jennie
Krause to you. She can do the job. And she does it well.
Robert Brenner, MSEE, MSSM, Curtis Park
President, Brenner Information Group
Jenny and team did a fantastic job on an estate sale for my parents' home. This was a family home of 40 years and while most would consider its belongings to be very average, to my family our things were very important. Jennie's team did a beautiful job of laying things out in themes - the sporting good area, the wedding area, the bedding area, etc. They priced every single thing and this involved a huge amount of work. It would have taken our family months and months to do the same work - and we were trying to get the house rented so we did not have that much time. I really appreciated Jennie's personal service, attention to detail, and follow through. As described, they left the house completely and totally empty and tidy. Many thanks to this team!
Susan, Sacramento
Dear Jennie and Mike, I'd like to thank you for handling our estate sale. Your years of experience has enabled you to provide very thorough and efficient services for a fair price. Like most, I didn't want to handle any of it--and you made that possible. From the set up and planning to the final removal of all items. Thank you again and best to you.
Darcy Tunt, Napa
When my dear friend Roberta died, leaving a huge collection of things she had acquired during her long life, it was an absolute blessing that Jennie, Mike, and their team came in to handle the estate sale. Not only do they have a depth and breadth of knowledge about china, silver, books, furniture, jewelry, art -- you name it -- they conducted the sale with the utmost respect for the belongings that represented Roberta's life, and for Roberta and her family as well. They cleaned, polished, inventoried, and displayed for sale thousands of items, working diligently and cheerfully. When the sale was over, they disposed of everything left over, donating whatever was still useful and throwing away what was not, and left the house empty and clean. Their honesty and integrity are above reproach. Best of all, over the course of two weeks, they finished a job that would have taken me a year to do on my own. I cannot recommend them highly enough and will be forever grateful for their help!
Kris Harper, East Sacramento
Jen, Viv and I appreciate all the work that you did to run our estate sale
but more importantly, to get the house ready for sale. As a direct result of
the hard work and the excellent clean up, we are now in the final stages of
selling the house. All the best.
Jim Parks, North Carolina
Thanks for handling everything so efficiently and in such an efficient manner. Our family would never have been able to accomplish this outcome in the time frame allotted.
Kathryn, Sacramento
Jennie,
My parent’s and I thank you for organizing and selling 87+ years of accumulation, and then cleaning the house and yard. It was a huge job and you accomplished it in less than a week! We are pleased with the outcome and will recommend you to others.
Tim Skaggs, Chico
When Shirley's cousin Douglas passed away we were left to handle his estate. Living 500 miles away, this was a tough task. Since this estate had to go through probate, everything in the estate: car, motorcycle, home and its contents had to be sold. We kept the home furnished until it was sold. A 30 day escrow was requested so a timely estate sale was a necessity. A relative recommended Jennie to help us with the sale. Our first contact with Jennie and Mike we knew they were perfect for the job. Jennie and her team were a God send. She told us she could handle it even with her booked up calendar. Everything she promised she delivered. Three weeks after our initial contact she and Mike had inventoried the house contents, made sale fliers, made a movie for a website, organized and displayed all items in the house, sold and dispersed all items,thoroughly cleaned the house and garage so the owners could move in the next day. Her team was extremely professional, likable, organized and a joy to work with. She treated us and her customers with complete respect and courtesy. We highly recommend and thank you Jennie
Shirley and Merle Johnson, Southern California
Jennie, Mike and the rest of the staff are caring, knowledgeable, professional and trustworthy and do not stop until the job is complete…
With that said, I have to add that the words “thank you” just aren’t enough to convey the gratitude I have for all of these people. My dad’s belongings were in California and I was in Texas. I just don’t know how I could have handled it all if I hadn’t found Jennie. She and her staff took care of everything including a last minute change of venue for the sale in which they had to literally pack everything up (an entire household!), find a place to rent, relocate, re-advertise and re-stage the sale. They left my dad’s residence perfectly empty and clean. Jennie knew I was trying to handle other things here in Texas and (with my blessing and undying gratitude) she forged ahead and did what needed to be done. She packed up and shipped things that I asked her to keep for me and took care of having a very large old stereo console, some family portraits and miscellaneous other large items crated and shipped to me as well. If you need someone you can trust to take care of selling your, your parent’s or other loved one’s precious possessions, these are the people you need; but trust me, you’re going to end up with more. You’re going to end up with new friends.
Thank you Jennie et al.
Ann, Texas
When my father passed away, we were left with a house full of furniture, antiques and everyday items. We felt overwhelmed trying to figure
out what to do with everything and how to sell it all. Fortunately, I already knew Jennie and gave her a call. Jennie assured us they could
handle selling the whole estate and she wisely advised us "don't throw anything away!" By the time Jennie and her crew finished our estate
sale, the house was empty and clean and ready to put on the market the next day. We made more money than we had imagined we would without the
added stress of doing it ourselves.
Thanks again, Jennie!
John, Sacramento
Jennie I don’t know what I would have done without you. I was so overwhelmed with the funeral and everything else going on that I felt lost. Jennie rescued me. I wasn’t looking to make money, but I did. She did more than I ever dreamed would have been done in an estate sale. I really didn’t know what to expect. I was amazed at how move-in-ready the estate house. My advice is: Don’t hesitate to call upon her service. I will remember her forever and be so grateful for all she did for me. Also, I would like to thank her crew.
Jennie you’re the best,
Susan of South Land Park
We can't thank Jennie and "the crew" enough for the great job you did here recently. You were all a ray of sunshine and we were lucky to have found you. Your abilities were absolutely professional in every sense of the word; but more than that was your real care and concern for our entire family. David was so ill at the time and all your people were so careful to hold the noise to a minimum and not disturb him. We so appreciated that. It's very rare in this day and age to find that quality in business people.
Sincerely,
David, Ben and Barb of Elk Grove
Jennie, I wanted to say what a great sale!! (I’m the gal who bought the red
suit case.) I wanted to thank you and your crew who create a great
fun atmosphere to shop in and that is so important. I also wanted to
say how great everything was displayed. I know this lady had
impeccable taste and nice things, but you guys did a great job
pricing and putting it all together. I say, bravo to you!!
Debra
You guys are terrific! How can Ellen and I begin to thank you for your help, sensativity, professionalism, and the endless hours spent selling Aunt Barbara's precious belongings. We couldn't have done it without you! It was a difficult time for us for many reasons and your friendship on top of everything was so appreciated.
Love,
Susie of Citrus Heights
I want to thank you so much for all the care, sensitivity and hard work that you all gave in helping us empty my mom's home last month. We truely could not have done it without all of you, you were wonderful. We are so grateful to have gotten to know each of you and we look forward to maintaining a friendship.
With our sincere thanks,
Don & Ellen of Citrus Heights
You see, we know you do this to make a living for you and your
daughter, but you also are doing more than 'making money'. You're
building friendships and strengthening relationships with people who
have a common goal - even if your dreams and motivations differ. So,
the answer to the question 'will it all be worth it in the end?' is a
resounding 'yes'. Best wishes my friend.
Nube Aduff
The service you provide is incredibly valuable. I hope you are well
compensated in the end.
Joce, Land park
Dear Jennie,
My mom and I came yesterday to your Citrus Heights sale and it was wonderful!! We want to thank you so much for giving us a wonderful discount on our items, particularly the La Tour Eiffel handbags. We were tremendously embarrassed when we came up short on your generous price since neither of us remembered our checkbooks. We were $10 short and I would like to pay you for it. Please send me a mailing address and I will get a check in the mail right away. Again, thank you so much for the wonderful sale and we look forward to seeing you again in the future.
Sincerely,
Kelly, Sacramento
Thank you for all of the work you have done over the past few years
that I have been acquainted with you and your sales. I appreciate
your frankness, your wonderful attitude, and the fairness with which
you treat everyone. I'm glad I'm still on your e-mail good list, and
can participate in some of your sales. From someone I doubt you
know, thanks and keep up the good work and smiles.
Sayisfied Buyer
As luck would have it, my sisters and I met Jennie when we put our parents' house on the market. She stopped by to look at the house in Land Park as we were trying to sort out a ton of stuff to have a garage sale. Jennie told us she did estate sales for a living and we hired her on the spot. She was so professional, knew her stuff, conducted the sale and hauled things away. During a very stressful time, we had so much fun and many laughs with Jennie as she organized the estate sale. We have remained friends and that was over ten years ago! Whenever anyone we know needs a service like hers, we always say we know the perfect person who is honest, trustworthy, and wonderful. We'd hire her again in a minute!
Love and Hugs,
Peter and Nancy of Land Park
To Jennie the Renaissance lady,
To a dear newly found friend who is running a remarkable estate sale of our remaining home furnishings and who has treated us so royaly during the past week.
Henry J Cavigli of Land Park
Dear Jen,
We are so blessed that you were recommended to do our estate sale, we would never have met otherwise. From the first day it was as though we were family. We love you and Sophie like a daughter and a granddaughter.
With love,
Loree of Land Park
Jennie is honest, reliable, and a hard worker. You can depend on her for accurate pricing and a very smooth sale. My clients have been very happy with her estate liquidation services. Not only does she do an excellent job, but when she is done the house is clean and tidy. I would highly recommend her.

In 2003, Jennie Krausse handled the estate sale of my father's house for me, and I had very limited time since my home is in Alaska. Fortunately she was incredibly fast at set-up, handled the sale completely and smoothly, and within one week the house was empty and ready for the realtor to list, and I had my check in hand for the proceeds. It was totally worry-free for me after an extremely stressful several months. I can't recommend her enough.
Judy Rae Smith of Fairbanks, Alaska and Silver City, New Mexico
Jen’s straight forward, professional approach to dealing with my parent’s estate and liquidating their cherished possessions made a difficult task for me much easier. I feel she is someone you can trust.
J. Zeller of Midtown
I really would not have known what I would have done if I did not
have Jennie and Company there to save the day! Being stressed out
with aiding an elderly parent, and a family with two small children,
there is no way in the world that I would have survived the whole
ordeal! Her business literally saved me time, money and not to
mention the added stress. After all, STRESS does irreparable damage
and can kill a person! I highly recommend this company for all of
your estate sale needs!
Sincerely
Michele and Mabel (the elderly parent, who is forever indebted to
Jennie and her staff) of Riverpark
I was very happy with her work and having to do it over again she'd be the first one I'd hire to do my job.
Bob Brooks of South Sacramento
Owner of Brooks Electric
We were satisfied with what she did, Jennie did a really good job.
Anne and Beverly of South Land Park Hills
Thank goodness for Jennie's great services in liquidating our mother's gargantuan collections of every kind. She was 7 months pregnant, it was July and August and every bit of this stuff was up a flight stairs. She brought help, boxes, and made (who knows) how many 60 mile round trips. Her ability to look, assess value, move it, pay right away and do it all with such good humor and panache is still in our hearts. My sister and I are still recommending her services to this day!
Retta Gilbert of Davis, CA
Thank you so much for your time and thoughtfulness in helping me go through our things and get settled.
