Antiques On Royall — Local services in Malakoff

My mother contacted Nancy to have an estate sale for my family home in Star Harbor. I took over as my mom was having some health issues, and from the beginning I was Hesitant about working with her, but the decision had been made, so I moved forward. The week before the estate sale my husband and I flew down from Chicago to go through the house and get any last minute items that we wanted to remove. The morning we were leaving Nancy asked me to let her know when we were gone, which I did. After we left she and her family then moved into the house, apparently to stay there until the estate sale? ( this is a beautiful lakefront property, and it was Easter weekend ). This was completely WITHOUT PERMISSION. What she didn’t understand is that the house had already been sold to the family next-door. The new Owner walked in to find her whole family camping out in the house. They were subsequently asked to leave. My parents decided to move forward with the estate sale against my recommendations, because it was too late to try to find somebody else. I asked Nancy to make sure that she was keeping an adequate record of every item sold, the sale price, and what each item eventually sold for. I should have been present for the sale, but unfortunately I was in Dallas looking after my mother. After the estate sale my parents received a check, along with a hand written list from a notepad of what supposedly sold, and the price. This list was a complete joke. It did not have the original pricing, it did not have the number of items, it was like a last minute jotting down of some of the contents of the house. There were numerous numerous items missing. Absolutely unprofessional. This was a large house, with very upscale and antique furnishings, and almost everything was left to be sold. Four televisions. Four full bedrooms. two living areas. Complete kitchen with appliances. My parents received a check for a little over $5000. As far as I’m concerned, this woman is not only amazingly unprofessional, but also absolutely not honest. I would steer very clear of doing business with her. I’m sure after I leave this review, she will post a personal review of my me, and I can assure you that I was never anything but respectful to this woman, even after she camped out at our house. Did I call her out on her unethical shady behavior? Yes. Was I mean spirited? No. All I can say, is what comes around...

So this estate sale this company has been doing this weekend (3/31-4/2) has been an ABSOLUTE DISASTER for the homes on this street. Nancy Jackson, the owner, has done an absolute horrendous job ensuring the peace of the neighbors on the street. My parents made an agreement with Nancy that if she put up adequate (key word here) signage for parking and where the estate sale home was along with a fee, she could use a portion of our yard for parking. Nancy failed to uphold her end up of the deal. We have had over the course of 3 days people: not parking where they are supposed to (due to signage not being large/clear enough), knocking on our door, and just today, we had someone walk into our home (we had our door open because it’s a nice day) while eating lunch. When my father and I confronted Nancy about this, for a 2nd time about this issue, she laughed in our faces and didn’t once apologize for the inconvenience. Nancy clearly only cares about making money and has absolutely zero concern for the owners along the streets for which she hosts an estate sale. Since it’s likely she will be deleting this comment (I have left this same review on FB); I’ll also be leaving a google review of her business, as well. Nancy, you should be ASHAMED of yourself and the way you...
