They made our estate sale seamless and profitable while having respect for our family during a difficult time."

"Kudos to Chris and his team for running a well-orchestrated sale. They handled all the details marvelously, and the entire process was carried out in a timely, professional manner. Chris’s communication skills are excellent. We were very happy with the results and would definitely use again if needed."
"I write this with gratitude as Destin Estate Sales made an extremely challenging time much easier for our family. The process of clearing out the home of a loved one is overwhelming both physically and emotionally. Chris and his team came in with compassion and grace, managing the entire process from beginning to end - coordinating with our HOA, managing the sale, and clearing out the remaining items. We did not have to lift a finger and came back to an empty, clean space. We can't thank you enough for helping us through this time in our lives!"
"Chris and his team made the whole process of the estate sale for my father's home easy. He was responsive, on time, did exactly what he said he would.

Chris sent updates all along the way and the amount of organization and staging that was done in a matter of days was incredible. The sale was up and running quicker than I thought would ever be possible. We live out of state and they were super good to work with, we didn’t have to worry about a thing! I don’t know how we would have done this without them. I would highly recommend them for any estate sale needs! Thanks again for helping us through this process."
"Destin Estate Sales did an unbelievable job with our Dad’s sale. He had a massive amount of things that needed to be cleaned and organized.

One major hint! Do not "clean out" before meeting with Chris, he knows how to get the most out of your treasures. Thank you to you and your team."
"We recently had Chris, owner of Destin Estate Sales, assist us with the selling of much of our furniture. He is extremely knowledgeable in the administration of an estate sale.

All in all, it was a positive and energetic experience. We HIGHLY recommend Chris and Destin Estate Sales!"

Decades of their lives together treated with the utmost respect and made our lives so much easier knowing everything was being taken care of and the house was emptied. Definitely use Destin Estate Sales for your own sale!!!!!!"
"Chris and the Destin Estate Sales team were awesome. Customer oriented and very easy to work with. We do not live in the area and needed to settle my dad’s estate. Chris was flexible to meet on our schedule when we were in town and provided full service support taking care of the estate sale, donating unsold items, coordinating the removal of the remaining items and trash, and helping to prepare the home to be put on the market. He kept us informed every step of the way and was able to complete everything within 6 weeks of our initial contact. I could not have imagined an easier and more stress free experience. Thanks Chris and the Destin Estate Sales team!"
"Chris and the Destin Estate Sales team were incredibly helpful with the entire process of sorting, staging and selling the contents of our parents home and preparing the house for showing and sale afterwards.

"Chris Schaefer and the Destin Estate Sales team are the utmost professionals!
We didn't know what to expect but he did not disappoint. He was efficient and detailed and did everything he said he would do, and with amazing proficiency. He was extremely knowledgeable about pricing. He was attentive about our concerns and kept us in the loop throughout the process. As we are from out of town, he even went as far as going to the department of motor vehicles for us, and dropping off a few items at a consignment store, after the sale! Talk about one-stop shopping, he cleaned everything afterward, had a charity coordinated for pickup of unsold items, and even had pantry items designated for veterans. I can't think of one area that could be improved upon. From the day we hired him, until he sent the final packet to us, he delivered 100 percent. I would not hesitate to use him again and I recommend him without reservation. As someone who doesn't typically give reviews, he has earned the highest praise from us. Well done, Chris!"
"Going through the process with Chris was nothing short of amazing. He and his team were thoughtful and thorough, organized, knowledgeable, and professional. Thank you for helping us do what seemed to have been impossible."
"We had to move our mother from FL to MO unexpectedly due to health reasons. We contacted Chris at Destin Estate Sales. He and his crew made an overwhelmingly stressful situation an effortless experience. He is professional, honest and fair. I simply can not say enough great things about this company. We had contacted other auction services in the area who were rude and very greedy. It is so nice to have done business with Destin Estate Sales. They are very genuine and down to earth. We felt we received a higher return than what was expected. Highly recommend, you won't be sorry."
"Chris and his team are just amazing and so professional. They were organized and took care of literally everything. We had to navigate so much from Colorado and Chris was able to get in, get everything set up and get the best price for the entire estate. He also got everything left picked up for donations. I could not have asked for a more seamless or more professional experience. Anyone needing to go through the estate-sale process needs to work with Destin Estate Sales. Thank you for making this such a wonderful experience!!"
"Chris and team at Destin Estate Sales did a great job handling the sale for my parents. They transformed a very cluttered house into a fantastic showroom! They even found a family heirloom ring and cameo that had been long misplaced, and returned it to us."
"The smoothest and most amazing service from states away! Chris was amazing and beyond accommodating. Thank you so much!!"
"Our home is in a gated community which allows no estate or garage sales. Destin Estate Sales devised a plan for our estate sale using the internet to show the sale items, and having prospective customers come to inspect by appointment only. Their plan was approved by the Homeowners Association. The ultimate results probably do not compare with a traditional estate sale, but were far better than I expected. I give this company high marks for trying something new, and being successful with it."
"I wasn't sure what to expect when Chris walked into my parent's house and was hit head-on with the enormous amount of craft supplies and fabric that had been collected over the years. Chris took on the challenge and he and his team did an amazing job. I felt he and his wife went over and above contacting local quilt guilds and sewing shops to generate the traffic needed to make the sale a success. I was very pleased with the open and constant communication, as well as respect Chris and his team treated the house and belongings. I was sent pictures and updates along this journey. They ensured the neighbors weren't disrupted during the sale days with the traffic and parking. At the end, Chris coordinated the final cleanout of the house and transferring of keys to our realtor. Being out of state, it was vital that I trust and have confidence in Destin Estate Sales. Chris made this difficult process, easy and stress free. I would highly recommend using their services."
"The buying process from start to finish was smooth and easy.
Chris was super friendly and helpful!We will definitely keep our eye out for more sales by this company! 10/10 would recommend"

"Owner was great, friendly and patient! he waited for me when I was running late to pick up from online sale. prices where also great! Items I purchased online are exact condition as pictured. Happy customer!"
"Expertly organized and very friendly! Despite how busy the sale was they remembered us by name while we were there and gave us individual attention and service. We will be following their sales in the future for sure"

"My wife and I were faced with the daunting task of settling her parents estate after their passing...Frankly, we were overwhelmed with the thought of having to sort through and dispose of all of their accumulated treasures and trash...literally. Through a referral, we reached out to Chris with Destin Estate Sales, he came promptly, assessed the scale of the work and said that he loved a challenge and would jump in and get everything sorted, organized and sell anything that we as a family didn't want to keep. He and his team showed up on the promised day, giving us time to go through the personal effects and separate the heirloom items. We were buoyed by their enthusiasm as they went through everything and were respectful of our parents home. My wife and I both work full-time, and could never have gotten it done with out Chris and his team. We trust them completely and count them as friends...Good people...as the saying goes! They have our respect and gratitude for all they did and the burden they lifted from our shoulders. Thanks again Chris you've definitely earned 5 STARS!!!"

"Chris with Destin Estate Sales earned my absolute highest praise for the way he handled our family’s estate sale when my father passed away in Niceville. I was 800 miles away trying to manage so many things, and the way Chris and his team took control of the whole process, from start to finish, was priceless. His professionalism in setting up and conducting the sale, along with his transparency in the financial details was amazing. Once he was hired he took care of every single step until the home was empty and ready to sell. Thanks so much Chris I give you my highest recommendation!"
"Chris was exceptional to work with. Even when he was not available he was trying to find other folks to recommend, but in the end he was able to get it done and we couldn't have asked for a better person to help with this Estate Sale. From start to finish, he took care of everything. We will definitely be using him again in the future, and highly recommend you to do the same :) "

He handled getting the remaining items that did not sale removed from the house which was a big help as I did not live locally. Five star service from start to finish!! Highly recommended!!"
"It was a pleasure – start to finish – working with Chris and his team. He handled the estate sale for my parents’ Sandestin home which they’d lived in as their primary winter/spring residence for 17 years. The logistics and timetable were challenging for a variety of reasons – at every stage, Chris helped us manage unanticipated challenges with creative problem-solving, generosity and calm that far exceeded our expectations. I especially appreciated Chris’s prompt and clear communications and can recommend Destin Estate Sales without reservation. Thank you, Chris!!"

"I would hire Chris again, they came in were open and honest, completed everything they said they would and so much more. My beloved father had so much, after 6 months or organizing we couldn’t keep up and felt like we weren’t getting anywhere. I called Chris, he contacted me right away and came by to assess the situation. We all knew it was going to be labor intensive but they came and worked hard, got everything organized and ready to sell. They did extensive research on the items to make sure it was priced fairly. Thank you so much Chris and all the staff that helped us to have the estate sale!"
"Moving and downsizing is a very stressful endeavor, but Chris made it a lot easier. Once we moved out what we were taking, he set up everything that was left behind for the sale. Even after the sale was over, they recommended someone to remove and clean out everything else from the house - even the contents of the refrigerator!!"
"This team was outstanding....moving is stressful in any situation but knowing that you cannot bring belongings that have meant a lot to you along to the next phase of your life is extra stressful. Chris Schaefer and his team made everything easy--they were incredibly responsive, researched our items, managed the sale, and facilitated the final haul of what was left efficiently and effectively. We got an itemized list of what sold for how much (fascinating...) and made a difficult period as easy as possible. Many thanks--would definitely recommend! Knowledgeable, courteous, and first rate!"
"My mother went from a 3000sq foot house filled with stuff, to an apartment. We had no idea where to start. We had contacted another company that totally was uninterested in helping and even stood us up to look through the house. At my wits end I found . When I called, I spoke to Kent, who explained the process to me, and told me that he would have his partner contact me within the hour to discuss a time to see the items. In ten minutes I got a phone call from Chris. We immediately set up a time to meet. The rest is history. This company was the most efficient, costly, and professional company that I have come in contact with in a long time. They were compassionate, reasonable, and logical as well. They handled the sale from start to finish and kept in constant contact during the duration. I simply cannot say enough good things about Chris and his professionalism, and the way that this company handled everything. I will be a customer for life, and spread the word to anyone that needs an estate company. If I could give 10 stars I would!!!!"
