"I decided to do a Estate sale for my sisters home in Van Nuys, CA that I was responsible for in her Trust. I had a referral given to me and I called The Estate Edit. After I talked to the owner I set up appointment when I was back in California. After interviewing 3 companies I felt The Estate Edit was the right choice to handle the unique and diverse items we were going to need help with selling. My sister lived in her house for over 50 years and had a large collection of Native America art and jewelry. She also was a very skilled artist and built many things in her wood shop. Emily Elkins the owner came out to go over the complete items we needed to sell. The house was filled with many display cabinets, shelves and art through my sister's home. Her separate wood shop was filled with hand tools, power tools and all types of hard wood pieces that she had used in her years of building cabinets and tables, etc for her friends and customers. She did a great organizing the sale that went over two weekends. She contacted experts to review my sister's Native American collection to help determine the fair value. She had an experienced person who was knowledgeable on all things about tools, power equipment etc. to handle the selling during the sale. On the jewelry she had it evaluated and whether items wear gold or silver to get us the current price. In closing, Emily and the people who helped with the sale were excellent. I could not have been happier. Very professional and skilled at what they did. The time she put into making sure my sister's estate was handled with care and respect at the highest level will always be remembered. Make sure you give Emily the opportunity to show you how she would handle your estate sale."

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

"After my parents passed, we were left with their 6,500 sq. ft. home -- a place they'd called home for 40 years, filled with a lifetime of belongings. The thought of sorting through every drawer and closet was overwhelming. Emily handled everything. Over three weeks, she painstakingly organized and staged the entire home for the sale, leaving no corner untouched. She sold it all -- furniture, jewelry, cars, pantry items, even old toiletries. Nothing went to waste. The proceeds far exceeded what we had hoped for. But beyond the results, what stood out most was her integrity. When you're entrusting someone with your family's belongings during a difficult time, that matters more than anything. I would wholeheartedly recommend Emily to anyone navigating an estate sale. She made an incredibly hard process feel manageable."

"The circumstances might be difficult - maybe very difficult - if you are having an estate sale. Mine, like many, was because of the passing of my parents. What made it even more challenging is that the estate sale was of the accumulated contents of my childhood home, where my parents resided for 55 years. I was so unbelievably fortunate to have been connected to Emily to handle the estate sale. Working with her was easily the best part of this difficult period - and gave moments of joy to the sad time. Why? Because Emily truly cared about what the items meant to their (deceased) owners - she honored their lives with her care in selling their possessions. She conducted huge amounts of research for all types of items, which provided emotional value as well as helping to maximize monetary returns. She was incredibly experienced and organized and arranged for EVERYTHING, from marketing to staff to security to post-sale emptying of a home for broom clean delivery. She was savvy with pricing and negotiating with buyers. Plus, she can't be a nicer person. I could go on but I'll end it here - if you are thinking of having an estate sale, you should engage Emily, period. I'd be happy to have her to share my contact information with anyone wishing to speak about my experience."

"Like many other reviewers in similar situations, we were faced with having to sell our childhood home of nearly 60 years. The Estate Edit LA came highly recommended by our realtor. We contacted Emily for a consultation and after taking a tour of the home, she knew exactly what she wanted to do. Her team transformed our home into an attractive boutique-style setting that looked effortless. Emily and team were friendly and professional and showed compassion, heart and empathy throughout the entire process. She provides updates about traffic and which items are getting attention, etc. She works both for you and with you. Her talent, skill, dedication, and creativity shined and resulted in a successful event for our family. The team was incredibly efficient, organized, fair and trustworthy. I don't know how they managed to get as much done in so little time as they did. We bonded instantly with Emily and we are extremely grateful she took us on. The Estate Edit LA raises the bar when it comes to estate sales. Thank you for everything, Emily!"

"Emily and The Estate Edit are too good to be true, but she is! My Mother passed away and Emily was recommended to help clear out her home. We met at my Moms house and Emily went right to work giving me the guidance I needed. Between Emily and Hannah, the house is empty and in a time of great emotional upset, they made it fun and lifted my heart. My Mom would have loved them both. If you to clear out call The Estate Edit. Following are pictures of the home after their sale and clean out."

Kathryn M.

"I highly recommend Emily for any estate sale needs. My parents' home was an escrow so I needed help clearing out their house in a short amount of time. I loved Emily's philosophy about keeping as little as possible. going to a landfill. Emily and her assistant were organized and displayed everything beautifully. She has excellent communication skills. I felt well informed every step of the way. We had a very successful sale and were left with a clean house. I felt completely comfortable leaving my parents home in her hands. Her results exceeded my expectations."

Lilliana G.

"Emily is the key to this operation. She's smart, honest and has a knack with "stuff" Her style makes the sales look amazing, the prices are fair, the process is smooth and she does the heavy lifting during the emotional process of cleaning out a home and saying goodbye to objects. If you want a sane and honest experience during this process give The Estate Edit LA a call."

"I cannot say enough good things about Emily and The Estate Edit! From the very first consultation to the final cleanup, Emily handled absolutely everything for my estate sale with professionalism, compassion, and incredible attention to detail. What could have been an overwhelming process was completely stress-free thanks to her. Emily thoughtfully sorted, organized, and staged every item in the home--turning a lifetime of belongings into a beautifully curated and easy-to-navigate sale. She priced each item fairly and strategically, ensuring strong turnout and excellent results. Her marketing was top-notch--photos, listings, signage, and social media promotion all drew a huge crowd! Throughout the process, Emily communicated clearly and promptly, keeping me updated every step of the way. She coordinated her team seamlessly, managed all transactions, and left the house spotless once the sale was complete. I truly didn't have to lift a finger. If you're facing an estate sale or major downsizing, do yourself a favor and call Emily at The Estate Edit. She brings not just expertise, but genuine kindness and respect for her clients and their stories. I couldn't have asked for a better experience--highly, highly recommended!"

"Emily is amazing! 5 stars isn't enough. I cannot say more about hiring her to hold your estate sale.

"Emily took all the pressure off of me. The 2 day sale was amazing and flawless. The clean up was great."

Deborah L.

"When Emily came into my life, it was an emotional and overwhelming time. Emily made it all lighter. She brought a beautiful energy and helped me find peace of mind when I really needed it. She treated my mom's belongings with such care and respect. She understood the sentimental side of it all, not just the monetary value. Her knowledge of art and antiques was very impressive and she helped me make thoughtful decisions about what to keep and how to place other items in the right hands. We even discovered that a few of our furniture pieces were rare and thanks to Emily's connections, they eventually ended up in a museum. It meant the world to me knowing my mom's things would be appreciated and preserved. She also helped me navigate selling my mom's artwork, guiding me to the right auction house. Throughout everything, Emily was thorough, kind, and incredibly professional. I truly don't know how I would have managed it all without her. She's not only amazing at what she does, she's also a genuinely good, honest, and helpful person who cares. I couldn't have had a better experience and am so grateful to have met her in general."

"I have been to several of their estate sales and have found them to be organized, communicative, fairly priced on items and just all around nice people. All sale items are laid out and visible, individually priced so you don't have to keep running back and forth getting pricing. They are willing to negotiate. I would absolutely recommend going to some of their estate sales! Happy hunting...Marsha."

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

"Very professional, well run estate sale. Good prices, well organized, staff friendly and very knowledgeable, helpful without being overbearing. Estate Edit seems to understand the needs of both buyers and sellers- obviously an estate sale company wants to get the highest price possible for items for the client, but buyers aren't going to buy if prices are more than what you could easily find elsewhere in the gigantic marketplace that is LA County - it takes a real understanding of this dynamic to run a good estate sale. They get it."

Thomas S.

"Emily and Hannah were so kind and helpful! Prices were reasonable, and the entire event was very well organized while still maintaining an open and inviting environment for all who entered! Highly recommend any estate sale organized by these two lovely ladies."

Sydney N.

"I never miss their estate sales when they pop up. They're easy to navigate, well run, and genuinely fun to shop. I always end up finding something unexpected and special. Everything feels thoughtfully priced, and the whole process is smooth from start to finish. I also love the music they play. It just adds to the whole experience. It's one of the few estate sale companies I actively look out for."

Sheryl S.

"Emily and her team run very well organized and thoughtful estate sales and I would not hesitate to use her services if I was needing to use such a service. We picked up some lovely books and a beautiful Danish ceramic serving dish from one of her sales and she was so easy to deal with and no doubt it will be the same for the estate owner seeking a stress free experience with a kind person who understands the value of the material stuff of a home collected over the years, but also how to graciously handle the relations side of the type of business that this is."

Sian M.

"I love going to their estate sales! They are always organized and easy to shop. The homes are consistently great and the pricing is fair. I found one of my favorite possessions at one of their sales! They have the best signage so I always know I’m about to find the home. Hannah is great at checkout and Emily is truly talented. She adds flair and styles the homes beautifully. If I had an estate I would hire her to run my sale."
