Best Rate Cleanouts

After reading many reviews for lots of Estate Sale companies, I decided to talk to Chris & Sue from Best Rate. They came to my house and walked around looking at everything. It was clear to me that they are very knowledgeable about antiques, artwork, sports memorabilia, collectibles and just about anything else. Aside from offering a reasonable split of the proceeds, I was impressed that they take credit cards and help buyers move heavy items from the house in order to prevent damage to your home.
A few weeks prior to the sale, Chris came to the house to take pictures. He rearranged items so they looked great in the pictures. A few days prior to the sale he & Sue came back to price everything.
The day of the sale they arrived bright and early to set up & prepare for the day. There was someone manning each floor and the garage where Sue set up a check out area. Then from their vast list of email contacts, buyers began to arrive. When I returned at the end of the sale, I was floored at how much they sold.
They are very professional, knowledgeable, and honest. They do their research to assure you they are pricing your possessions to sell at a fair and market value.
I can’t say enough how pleased my husband and I were with the results.
I highly recommend Best Rate.

Chris and his staff where great to work with for my estate sale. I didn’t have to do anything they first came to my home to look around and then sent me a contract. Two weeks before the sale Chris came back to photograph everything and it was on his and many other websites within a day. My sale was on a Sunday and they spent two days staging and pricing my items. The day of the sale was like clock work very organized and painless. I would recommend Best Rate Clean Out to anyone that is having an Estate sale.

I had a hit and miss with Chris. first appointment was mis booked and today was supposed to be all set for 330pm. No show.
I would have appreciated at least a call to cancel the appointment as i had to drive up to Sudbury form Hyannis.
Won’t be recommending this company. By the way both of his competitors showed up on time and were very professional

Whether you are moving or just simplifying and de-​cluttering, call Chris at Best Rate Cleanouts for a process that is efficient, professional, thorough, and considerate. They even protected our hard wood floors – in messy weather – with rosin paper throughout. This was a very different type of experience, and we could not have been more pleased. They have a huge group of ‘followers’ for their sales who love to come to see what’s «new.» For followup, they have good resources for smoothly handling remaining items, so «no worries, no stress.» And this was for 30 years’ of stuff in the same house! When Chis says «Don’t throw anything out…», there is a good reason. Thanks, Chris and Team!

I’m a sale attendee, and love Chris’ sales. I can’t remember how many I’ve been to. He’s very organized, fair at pricing, polite, and treats his buyers well. I trust him and would definety hire him for my own sale.

Chris and his team at Best Rate exceeded all my expectations by providing reliable, efficient and individualized clean out services for my house. He is sensitive to the difficulty a person experiences cleaning out years of family memories and does his best to make this difficult task a little easier. Within a few minutes of meeting him and listening to the description of the services he provides, his honesty and commitment to excellence was quite evident. He arranged a clean out plan that met my individual needs and despite multiple snowstorms, was able to adhere to it cleaning out over 5000 sq. feet of memories. During the process he was careful to return any personal item such as photos and documents for my review. He was even able to find cash and jewelry that I had totally overlooked when I had gone thru the house myself. He closely supervised the entire process and all of his staff were polite and efficient, seemingly never taking a break for hours at a time. He and his crew were able to clean out more in one day than an average individual could ever hope to accomplish with weeks of work. Lastly, he was able to generate considerable money for the contents of the house due to his excellent marketing skills and the dedicated dealers and private individuals who follow him throughout the region to attend his estate sales.
In summary, when you are faced with a difficult challenge of cleaning out a lifetime of memories from a home, Best Rate can be trusted to provide efficient and skilled services that are sensitive to your needs.

It’s a pleasure to find a company that doesn’t gouge it’s customers. John Crocker & myself love rummaging through the sales looking for things that grab our attention. The one thing that we always find is consistent pricing. The staff are respectful and treat the sale attendees the same. We appreciate your company treating everyone fairly. Thanks for the great opportunities.

Chris and his team were incredible. For a percentage of the proceeds from the Estate Sale of my parents home they performed:
Home clean up and presentation for sale
Safe keeping of personal items (pictures and paperwork containing sensitive information)
Sale marketing
Sale execution — including added security, buyer flow, item price negotiation and money handling
post sale inventory of items sold
Home cleanout (and when I say cleanout I mean nothing left, this is usually an added cost but with Best Rate it was simply a take of any items we didn’t want to keep)
To top off all of this, Chris was incredibly helpful and thoughtful with what is an emotional event in a family’s life. He made dealing with a huge job a piece of cake. I can’t recommend his services enough.

We needed to have my father in laws house cleared out. I called Chris at Best Rate Cleanouts. He rearranged his schedule for me as I had to travel, and met me on a Sunday to take a look. His estimate was very reasonable and we agreed to move forward. He and crew showed up promptly; completed all ahead of schedule and left the house clean and neatly swept. I would recommend Best Rate Cleanouts to anyone needing this service.

Very impressed! Great service, very good prices. Chris and his crew are amazing! Customer oriented and hard working. Highly recommend!

I got a number of estimates to clean out my cellar. All were in the same ballpark, but so much higher than I expected. All of the ones I called kept telling me the «exceptions» to the general estimate, which kept driving the price up. They were all large companies that I had heard of before. I almost cancelled the estimate appointment for Best Rate Cleanouts, because I assumed they would give me the same high price, with all the exceptions added to the base estimate. Am I glad I didn’t cancel that appointment! Chris, the owner of Best Rate Cleanouts came, and in 10 minutes of looking at the basement he gave me a quote which was ¹⁄₃ the final price of everyone else’s quotes… and no exceptions!!! We shook hands, he gave me the written quote, which specified «everything in the basement», as I asked, and he and his crew showed up 3 times, cleaned everything out (it was extensive) and swept before they left. They were always on time, efficient and courteous. I have already signed with them to return before our house closing and take everything else remaining in the house… again at a good price. I HIGHLY recommend them.
