Today's LifeStyle Solutions, LLC — Local services in Waukesha

Occasionally, if an individual is patient enough, they happen upon as close to an ideally operated business as possible. This is what I was fortunate enough to find with Today’s Lifestyle Solutions, LLC. Susan, the owner, has that wonderful mix of strong business sense and ability to retain an outstanding, professional, and personable staff to always to available to assist.

The Estate Sales she runs are well advertised, customers are treated respectfully, items are displayed in an organized manner; it’s often like going to a museum and finding antiques, books, fine art, jewelry, unique items from around the world with the difference being you can purchase them.

I have been to Estate Sales where I’ve walked out after only a few minutes because of cleanliness issues, disorder, lack of pricing, people attending behaving with more of a mob mentality than a consumer one. This never occurs with Today’s Lifestyle Solutions. There is sometimes a short wait to enter to ensure overcrowding doesn’t occur and there has been considerable time put into the layout of items that adds to the general calm spirit.

Estate Sales can be, and often are, a time of passing for someone who was loved. Treating their treasures, whether a much loved antique desk, jewelry, crafts, whatever that individual held dear, with respect; knowing that sense of responsibility generates how those passing through to possibly purchase items contributes to the type of respect and goodwill that the surviving loved ones can appreciate. This is a rare quality in an Estate Sale business.

I would be remiss is I didn’t mention their store on Sentry Dr. In Waukesha. A lovely collection of just about anything you may be looking for. The lady who is always there is a pleasure to interact with, as is all of Susan’s staff. Well versed in antiques, quick sense of humor, and always happy to assist.

Well done Susan and all of your staff. Your hard work and attention to...

Well run estate sale company and my #1 choice to attend their sales. Hopefully they are still doing sales when I need to clean out a house. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and consistent. They take the time to ask what items you are looking for (which they remember) so at the next sale they are pointing out those things in case you didn't notice them. Whether you are a reseller, collector or one who needs basic household furnishings, you will be able to find something at a more than fair price. I research the hundreds of photos posted for each sale. Items for sale are organized as you would find in a retail establishment as space allows. It certainly takes a lot of time to get a household full of processions organized to that degree. I wouldn't know where to start. I do have friends and coworkers asking who I would recommend and my #1 company is Today's Lifestyle Solutions because of my interactions and the fact that they don't take a percentage (which can be as high as 60%). Who really knows what all that stuff is worth! Maybe your grandmother really didn't throw out all those baseball cards afterall. Dealing with liquidating an estate is a stressful time, lots of memories, good or not, that get triggered as items are sorted. You want a company that is respectful of your feelings and I can say I have seen many instances of that with TLS because they allow family to work...

We couldn’t be happier with the service we received from Susan Perry and her employees. They were extremely professional and efficient helping us liquidate the condo we were downsizing from. It was difficult scheduling a sale on our schedule but Susan was great at fitting us in to a schedule.

Today’s Lifestyle Solutions uses a bit different approach to an estate sale in that it’s not a 60/40 split of the proceeds but the crews are paid by the hours they work. They are all extremely hardworking and take great care with possessions. She also allows family members to do as much or as little of the work for the sale as possible. Did we make as much money as with other companies? I don’t know but I know the sale was very professionally done, our possessions were displayed in a classy manor, we were able to pay wages to a number of wonderful mature people trying to make ends meet, (which was important to us to be able to give back to our community in some way) the condo cleanliness and condition was extremely well respected! Fortunately we didn’t have a lot of junk to remove so only one dumpster was needed. The few things that were left were distributed to charities and other places of need.

Thank you Susan and crew. You made a stressful, difficult part of our move almost enjoyable. We couldn’t be any happier! We feel like Susan and her crew were actually friends by the time we...
