The Brass Alligator — Local services in Clayton

Brian and his team at The Brass Alligator did a truly remarkable job helping me through two major phases of handling my mother’s estate:

Phase 1: Packing and moving 25 truckloads of fine art, antiques and furniture to Link Auction Galleries. My mother was a passionate collector, and Brian’s extensive knowledge of art and antiques was invaluable. What I had anticipated being an emotional and overwhelming experience actually became enjoyable. Brian and his team brought enthusiasm and curiosity to the process, often discussing the history and significance of items as they were uncovered. The move was completed on schedule and within the estimated budget - no small feat given the volume and complexity of the work.

Phase 2: Because of how well Phase 1 went, I chose The Brass Alligator to handle the estate sale as well. Although I wasn’t present for this phase, I did not have any reservations with providing Brian access to the house in my absence. He kept me informed, especially when uncovering items of personal or financial value I might want to keep, ensuring nothing meaningful was lost along the way. His team cleaned out the house, staged, researched and priced everything, and hosted what turned out to be a record-breaking estate sale.

I enthusiastically recommend The Brass Alligator. After what they accomplished for me, I have no doubt they can tackle any job with professionalism, care,...

I called Brian to do an estate sale for me very last minute and he couldn’t have been more accommodating. He fit me in his busy schedule immediately and worked tirelessly for 2 weeks to prepare for the sale. He transformed my mother’s house into a beautifully decorated home perfect for a great sale. He is extremely talented at decorating in preparation for a nice estate sale. Every room was staged for easy viewing and I was impressed at how neatly and nicely items were displayed. He advertised well offering great photos with detailed sale was successful and cleanup amazing. Brian has many expert contacts for selling certain items as rugs, jewelry, stamps, coins, appliances, etc. The house had to be completely cleared out within 24 hours due to a sale and Brian and his crew got it done. They worked overnight, working extremely hard for a small cost. Absolutely went above and beyond the call of duty to get everything cleared out. And he was very creative in disposing things rather than just throwing out. Above all, Brian is an extremely and genuinely nice guy! I will definitely refer him in the future. With out a doubt, 5 + stars in all...
